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.

Why choose a step-through bicycle frame? Traditionally designed for female riders wearing skirts, the step-through has evolved to suit anyone that prefers a frame that’s far easier to swing a leg over. They’re ideal for less flexible riders, slow-speed urban cycling and riders that need to load their bike up with bags or kids.
