More Details

The Marin Rift Zone 1 stands as a premier hardtail mountain bike engineered for riders who crave aggressive trail performance paired with enduring versatility. Constructed around a robust yet lightweight Series 3 6061 aluminum frame, it delivers exceptional strength and responsive handling tailored for tackling technical singletrack, steep climbs, and fast descents with confidence.

The 29” wheels provide excellent rollover capability and enhanced stability on rough terrain, while the modern trail geometry—with a slack head tube angle and short chainstays—ensures nimble maneuverability without sacrificing downhill composure. The internal cable routing keeps the bike’s lines clean and reduces maintenance hassles, while Boost 148 rear spacing adds stiffness and strength to the rear triangle.

Equipped with a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork, the Rift Zone 1 boasts 130mm of smooth suspension travel with Motion Control damping. This allows riders to absorb impacts, maintain traction, and ride faster over challenging trails without fatigue. Complementing this is a powerful braking system from Tektro HD-M285 hydraulic disc brakes, featuring 180mm rotors front and rear that deliver consistent stopping power and modulation on steep, technical terrain.

The bike’s drivetrain centers on the reliable Shimano Deore 1x10-speed system, offering a wide 11–46T cassette and a 32T narrow-wide chainring to tackle everything from steep climbs to rapid descents. The Shadow+ clutch-equipped derailleur enhances chain retention, reducing drops and noise on rough terrain.

Rolling on Marin aluminum double-wall rims fitted with Maxxis Rekon 29x2.8” tubeless-ready tires, the Rift Zone 1 boasts exceptional grip and durability across mixed trail surfaces. The included TranzX dropper seatpost allows riders to rapidly adjust saddle height for technical descents and tight corners, elevating control and confidence in demanding situations.

The Marin Rift Zone 1 is a versatile and capable hardtail, ideal for riders who want a durable, performance-oriented bike that excels in modern trail conditions, balancing aggressive handling with rider comfort and reliability.
