The Fairfax 2 is the mid-tier bike in the Fairfax collection, with plenty of upgrades over the base model. It’s built around a fast and light Series 2 aluminum frame and aluminum straight-blade fork and comes with a Shimano 2x8-speed Shimano drivetrain, Clark’s hydraulic disc brakes, Vee Tire Co tires and plenty of reliable Marin components.
Step-thru frames are ideal for less flexible riders, slow-speed urban cycling and riders that need to load their bike up with bags or kids.
