The Fairfax heads up Marin’s fitness line up, built for the road or bike path rider looking for a comfortable flat-bar bike with accessory mounts for conversions into an everyday commuter. The Fairfax 2 ST offers up a series 2 6061 aluminum step-though frame, which provides a lower top tube design for easier mounting and dismounting. The frame also features an integrated headset, internal cable routing, and integrated fender and rack mounts. The matching straight-blade fork adds front end durability and excellent pedaling efficiency, while rack eyelets add further customization options for use as a cargo or commuter bike. Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance, while the reliable Shimano 2x8 speed drivetrain provides a wide gear ratio for steep hill-climbs. Fast rolling 700c wheels are fitted with 35mm Vee, Zilent tyres for their excellent puncture protection for smooth transitions between pavement, gravel and dirt.
