Marin Cortina AX2 Complete Bike 2019

Urban/Commuter bikes are purpose-built for navigating city streets with comfort and practicality in mind. Featuring frames designed for easy mounting and dismounting, often made of durable steel, these bikes prioritize reliability and ease of use with components like internally geared hubs or single-speed drivetrains for low maintenance.

Aluminum is the second lightest material per cubic inch, after carbon, but it is significantly more affordable. It offers versatility, strength, and durability that works well in all trail disciplines.

The Apex mechanical shift-brake control gives you all the gears you need in the palm of your hand. It's technology that makes cycling easier-so you can tune into the experience and build on it.

SRAM's Apex 1 drivetrain provides the gear range and the shifting simplicity to let you simply go where you want. The Apex 1 rear derailleur makes that gearing choice a reality with clean, crisp shifts, thanks to SRAM's X-HORIZON™ geometry and ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™.

Not ready for carbon? The Gossamer is a high-end crankset for alloy lovers. With an impressive history of wins on the brutal cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, it needs no further introduction - yet the details shouldn’t be ignored. The cold-forged aluminum arms are heavily scalloped for the maximum strength to weight ratio and the versatile spindle is forged from an even stronger material. the Gossamer fits any combination of bike, rider and riding styles.

FULL PIN™ technology uses eleven lightweight, stamped steel cogs held together with 123 high-strength stainless steel pins. The result: a cassette that's light, durable and equipped with SRAM's super wide 10-42t gear range that's a perfect fit for any ride. The open design similar to our X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.
