The 2023 Marin Rift Zone alloy mountain bikes are all-new from the ground up, but they call it an evolution, not a revolution. The goal was to simply take one of their most popular models and make it more capable without changing its playful character.

Marin's new Rift Zone captures the essence of agile handling and an engaging ride and slaps on a price tag that doesn't just appeal to hedge fund managers.

Pros
  1. Exploitable handling, whatever your level. A bike that can grow with your skills. Fun to ride. No gimmicks. 
Cons
  1. Overweight. You’ll find better spec from a direct-sales brand.

The Marin Rift Zone occupies a very unique spot in the bike market, as a short travel frame meant to attack relatively serious terrain.

Pros
  1. Great build kit
  2. Fun and unusual synthesis of parts and geo
  3. Adaptable frame platform
Cons
  1. Mix of progressive and dated geometry
  2. Heavy and sticky for a short travel bike

Outdoor Gear Lab

The Marin Rift Zone 29 2 is an affordable short travel trail bike that would make an excellent daily driver. This aluminum-framed 29er has 125mm of rear-wheel travel paired with a 130mm fork and a refreshingly modern geometry. Despite its modest travel, this...

Pros
  1. Reasonable price
  2. Modern trail riding geometry
  3. Nice component spec for the price
  4. Versatile on-trail performance
Cons
  1. Underpowered brakes
  2. A little heavy
  3. A little sluggish on the climbs due to weight

Dario DiGiulio

The Marin Rift Zone is the most expensive bike in the Value Field Test, but does it take the top spot?

Cons
  1. Active suspension feel biases towards descending
  2. Dual Assegai tires rob some speed on the climbs
  3. Cable routing may prove tricky for at-home mechanics down the line
