The Do-It-All Trail Party Machine

The Marin Rift Zone 1 27.5 is your ticket to trail bliss—an all-mountain shredder that brings performance, durability, and straight-up fun to every ride. Whether you're launching into weekend epics, linking jump lines at your local spot, or pushing your personal limits after work, this is the bike that’s always ready to throw down.

Built around a Series 3 6061 aluminum frame, the Rift Zone 1 dishes out 130mm of rear travel via Marin’s buttery-smooth MultiTrac suspension platform. Combined with a 140mm X-Fusion front fork and modern trail geometry—like a slack 65.5° head tube angle, long reach, and short chainstays—it’s perfectly dialed for big hits, tight switchbacks, and rowdy descents alike.

Suspension That Works As Hard As You Do
The custom-tuned X-Fusion O2 Pro R rear shock and matching X-Fusion Slide or Sweep Boost RC fork (depending on wheel size) soak up rock gardens and root tangles while keeping your pedaling platform efficient and supportive. The Rift Zone 1 eats square-edge hits for breakfast and keeps charging all day.

Trail-Ready Drivetrain & Brakes
Shimano Deore 11-speed shifting gives you crisp, reliable gear changes, paired with an 11-51T SunRace cassette and a forged alloy crank with a 32T narrow-wide ring—ideal for technical climbs and high-speed descents. Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear provide confident stopping power when the trail points down.

Modern Wheelset with Aggressive Rubber
Marin double-wall 29mm rims wrapped in Vee Tire Co. Snap WCE 2.35” tires provide superb traction and cornering grip. Tubeless-ready construction lets you easily convert for lower pressure and fewer flats. Hubs are Shimano MT-series, ensuring smooth rolling and easy serviceability.

Smart Touchpoints & Dropper Equipped
A 780mm Marin mini-riser handlebar gives you precise control, while the X-Fusion Manic dropper post (150mm or 170mm travel depending on frame size) lets you slam the saddle out of the way at a moment’s notice. The Marin Speed Concept saddle and MTN grips complete the package with trail-proven comfort.
