BIKE PATH RIDING

The Fairfax 1 is the most affordable in the collection. Named “Best Hybrid” many years running by Wirecutter it’s built around a lightweight Series 1 aluminum frame and a sturdy CrMo fork and comes with a 3x7-speed Shimano drivetrain, Clark’s mechanical disc brakes 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.

Key upgrades from Fairfax 1/1 ST:

  • Series 2 Fitness frame
  • Straight blade aluminum fork
  • Shimano Acera/TY710 2x8 drivetrain
  • Vee Tire Zilent tires w/puncture protection
