Other bikes вЂ“ including Fairlight's own Secan вЂ“ cover the fast end of audax and gravel better, but for longer, slower rides with more stuff, the Faran 2.0 will be an excellent long-term companion.вЂќ If you're looking for something that can be loaded up and pointed at some tricky terrain, but that's also fun to cruise around the lanes on or even spec up for a big adventure, this is a bike that can handle all sorts of riding. вЂњI had lots of fun on the Faran, and would certainly recommend it. The TL DR here is this: it's an excellent bike. It's had mountain bike tyres and road bike tyres and semi-slick gravel tyres, and it's been fitted with 650B and 700C wheels, and through all that it's been an excellent companion on the tarmac and off it. It's been a road bike, with narrower tyres. It's been a gravel bike for day excursions. It's been a bikepacking bike, loaded up for overnight trips. So much so that it's almost a long-term test apologies to Fairlight for that. Tester Dave writes: вЂњI've ridden this bike a lot, and I've used it for many different types of riding over the period I've been testing it. It can be built up however you want for the adventures you have in mind, and it's an ideal bike for loading up and heading off into the great beyond. If you're looking for a dedicated bikepacking or touring bike then the Fairlight Cycles Faran 2.0 should be on your list.
