The Marin Rift Zone 1 brings modern trail geometry and capable suspension together in a fun, confidence-inspiring package. Its Series 3 6061 aluminium frame uses Marin’s MultiTrac suspension platform, delivering 130mm of supple, predictable rear travel that balances climbing efficiency with downhill control. The frame is Boost spaced for stiffness, includes ISCG05 tabs for chain guides, and uses a threaded bottom bracket for easy maintenance.
Up front, the X-Fusion Slide Boost RC fork provides 140mm of travel with compression and rebound adjustment, paired with an X-Fusion O2 Pro R rear shock tuned specifically for the Rift Zone’s suspension kinematics. This setup ensures stability at speed, traction on rough climbs, and composure through technical descents.
The 29” Marin double-wall alloy rims are tubeless-ready and paired with grippy 2.35” Vee Snap WCE tyres, offering a balance of rolling speed and cornering grip. Tektro’s 11-speed drivetrain delivers reliable shifting across a wide 11-50T range, while Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors provide strong, consistent stopping power.
A size-specific X-Fusion Manic dropper post lets you adjust saddle height on the move, enhancing control on steep descents. With a roomy cockpit, short stem, and wide 780mm bars, the Rift Zone 1 is ready for riders looking to explore everything from flowy singletrack to more technical trails without breaking the bank.
