UK-based Fairlight Cycles just announced the updated version 2 of their Faran adventure rig, which looks to be even more versatile and utilitarian than its predecessor. The new Fairlight Faran 2.0 boasts incredible attention to detail and packs in a ton of bikepacking-friendly features, including an updated geometry that further balances unloaded agility and loaded stability, big tire clearance, lots of mounts throughout, internal dynamo routing, and more.

The Faran’s Reynolds steel frame is made in Europe and composed of a mix of carefully selected and custom-formed tubing. Fairlight’s proportional geometry lets riders pick between regular and tall versions of their full run of 51cm to 61cm sizes, for a total of 10 size options.
