Marin Kentfield 2 ST Hybrid Bike

The Marin Kentfield 2 ST Hybrid Bike is the top-tier step-through model in Marin's everyday hybrid range — combining the easy-mount, easy-off frame design of the ST line with the more capable drivetrain and braking spec of the Kentfield 2. The low-slung Series 1 6061 aluminium frame drops the top tube out of the way so you can step on and off without lifting a leg over the saddle, which is genuinely brilliant whether you're loading kids onto a rear seat, juggling shopping, wearing work clothes, or just prefer a more relaxed mount. Pair that with the BMX-inspired CrMo steel Moto Blade fork and you get a bike that's both seriously practical and quietly stylish.

Where the 2 ST really earns its place is the spec list. The MicroSHIFT Advent X 1x10 drivetrain gives you a wide 11–48T gear range without the faff of a front derailleur — easy to use, easy to maintain, and plenty of range for steep climbs or flat-out flat sections. Power CX7 mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors front and rear deliver dependable, all-weather stopping, and the 700c x 40mm Vee GPVee tyres roll fast on tarmac while shrugging off bumpier surfaces. A plush Marin Adventure saddle and ergonomic cockpit make the whole thing comfortable for the long haul.
