The Rift Zone is Marin’s most speed oriented MultiTrac bike, created for the rider looking for the speed and roll over capabilities of 29” wheels in a high-quality trail specific carbon package. The high-modulus unidirectional carbon fiber frame is perfectly integrated around Marin’s acclaimed MultiTrac suspension platform then fitted with a Fox Performance Elite Float 36 140mm travel fork and Fox DHX Coil Spring shock, ensuring the Rift Zone XR is fine-tuned to have a balanced ride capable of absorbing big hits with an efficient pedaling platform. The rocker link provides a progressive leverage ratio for the rear shock for small bump sensitivity and the feeling of a long travel system on large drops and rocks. Short fork offsets and slack head tube angles mean the bike handles perfectly from a seated or standing position, and travels effortlessly up and down the mountain thanks to the Shimano XT/SLX 1 x 12 speed drivetrain and Shimano XT, 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc brakes.
