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.

  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
