Marin Rift Zone 1 2026
Built For The Trail.
The Marin Rift Zone 1 is a modern full-suspension trail bike built around a lightweight Series 3 aluminium frame, 130mm of rear travel and a 140mm X-Fusion front fork.
Confidence On Climbs. Control On Descents.
Designed around Marin's MultiTrac suspension platform, the Rift Zone 1 balances efficient pedalling with active suspension performance. Its modern trail geometry, 6061 aluminium frame and wide-range 1x11 drivetrain make it ready for everything from flowing singletrack to technical terrain.
MultiTrac Suspension
130mm of rear travel is designed to keep the bike composed over rough terrain while maintaining an efficient pedalling platform.
Modern Trail Geometry
A 65.5° head angle, 430mm chainstays and low bottom bracket create a stable, controlled platform with a playful trail character.
Trail-Ready Equipment
X-Fusion suspension, Shimano CUES 1x11 shifting, hydraulic Tektro brakes and a remote dropper post come together in one complete setup.
Stay Composed When The Trail Gets Rough.
The Rift Zone 1 uses Marin's MultiTrac suspension platform with 130mm of rear travel. Combined with the X-Fusion O2 Pro R rear shock, the system is designed to provide small-bump sensitivity while remaining supportive through bigger impacts and technical sections.
140mm Of Trail Control.
The X-Fusion Slide Boost RC fork on 29-inch configurations or X-Fusion Sweep Boost RC on 27.5-inch configurations provides 140mm of travel with compression and rebound adjustment.

Wide-Range Gearing For Real Trails.

Components That Work Together.
From the hydraulic brakes to the dropper post and tubeless-compatible wheels, every major component is chosen around modern trail riding.
Series 3 Aluminium Frame
The 6061 aluminium frame combines a lightweight construction with Marin's MultiTrac suspension platform and internal cable routing.
2.35" Trail Tyres
Vee Tire Snap WCE tyres use a 2.35-inch profile, Top 40 compound and GXE Core construction for grip across changing trail surfaces.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic brakes use large disc rotors for controlled braking performance across climbs, descents and technical terrain.
X-Fusion Manic Dropper
The remote-operated X-Fusion Manic dropper post lets you lower the saddle while riding, helping create more room on steeper descents.
Grip. Control. Confidence.
The Rift Zone 1 combines Marin aluminium double-wall rims with tubeless-compatible construction and Vee Tire Snap WCE 2.35-inch tyres. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking at both ends.
