Description
Reviews
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...

We can't help but feel that it would make a much better 140mm bike
- Good angles and attitude
- Spec at odds with travel

Marin's Rift Zone Carbon is another addition to the growing field of short travel bikes with aggressive geometry.
- Rear shock needs setup time
- Vague Shimano brake bite point
- Bit heavy for a short travel bike
Sean Leicht
The new Rift Zone Alloy is a budget-conscious option for trail riders wanting a pleasant pedaling ride with a healthy serving of capability
- Good value
- Well rounded
- Lots of fun, as advertised
- Not the best in steep climbs
- Need to actively weight front wheel
Sean Leicht
The Marin Rift Zone occupies a very unique spot in the bike market, as a short travel frame meant to attack relatively serious terrain.
- Great build kit
- Fun and unusual synthesis of parts and geo
- Adaptable frame platform
- Mix of progressive and dated geometry
- Heavy and sticky for a short travel bike
Danny Milner
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.
- Exploitable handling, whatever your level. A bike that can grow with your skills. Fun to ride. No gimmicks.
- Overweight. You’ll find better spec from a direct-sales brand.
