Increase the fun, increase the wheel size, decrease the price
The Rift Zone is the fastest mountain bike Marin has to offer. It’s ready for all-day adventures, setting personal records, and smashing the weekly Taco-Tuesday ride. The Rift Zone’s fast rolling 29” wheels roll over anything in their path and the Multi-Trac alloy frame features 125mm of smooth travel. The frame’s 148mm Boost rear spacing and internal dropper post compatibility bring the Rift Zone to the next level. The Rift Zone combines efficient and smooth suspension with modern trail geometry to create a bike that is fun, fast, and ready to shred.
The Rift Zone 3 is an incredible bike coming in at a great price. A 130mm Marzocchi Bomber Z2 and Fox DPS rear shock provide a supple and smooth ride, the Shimano SLX 1×12 drivetrain provides all the gears you need to make it up the steepest climbs, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide incredible stopping power when descending those steep chutes. The bike is rounded out with Marin Tubeless Ready wheels for less flats and incredible traction.
If you are looking for a bike that can handle everything the trail has to offer, the Marin Rift Zone needs to be your next ride. From fast flowy single track to all day adventures and everything in between, the Rift Zone was designed to handle it all. Push your riding further and attack the trail with more confidence than ever before.
Review
– ” Fast and agile, this is a long legged bike taking its cue from XC bikes but making use of some modern geometry to get maximum performance. “
– ” Marin’s new range of aluminium full suspension bikes is strong and is hitting some tight price points to bring performance bikes to more riders. With the Rift Zone, Marin has made a fast, fun and efficient trail bike that will deliver on a huge range of trails. With prices that won’t break the bank, the range allows for off-the-peg bikes that can hit the trail hard, or provide a solid base for some strategic upgrades. The more generous sizing and low standover make a bike that can be sized on length and gives huge confidence to squeeze every last ounce of performance possible from that 120mm of travel. “
