Push Your Riding Further with the Marin Rift Zone 1
The Marin Rift Zone 1 2026 Full Suspension Mountain Bike is the perfect entry point into Marin’s legendary Rifty family, delivering trail-ready performance, confidence-inspiring suspension, and exceptional value without stretching your budget. Designed for riders who want to explore further, ride faster, and tackle more challenging terrain, the Rift Zone 1 combines a lightweight aluminium frame, capable geometry, and reliable components to create a bike built for adventure.
Available in a stunning Dark Purple colour, this full suspension mountain bike is ready for everything from flowing singletrack and technical climbs to aggressive trail descents around Liverpool and beyond.
Trail-Focused Full Suspension Performance
At the heart of the Rift Zone 1 is Marin’s Series 3 6061 Aluminium frame featuring the proven MultiTrac LT Suspension Platform with 140mm of rear travel. The carefully engineered suspension system delivers excellent traction, control, and comfort, helping you maintain speed and confidence over rough terrain.
The bike is equipped with an X-Fusion Sweep 150mm travel front fork with compression and rebound adjustment, paired with an X-Fusion O2 Pro R rear shock with a custom tune. Together, they provide a balanced suspension setup that absorbs big hits while keeping the bike responsive and playful on the trail.
Built for Modern Mountain Biking
The Rift Zone 1 features modern trail-ready geometry with Boost 148x12mm rear and 110x15mm front thru-axles, providing improved stiffness and handling when pushing through corners and technical sections. Full internal cable routing keeps the bike looking clean while protecting cables from the elements, making it ideal for year-round riding.
A key feature is the included X-Fusion Manic dropper post, allowing you to quickly adjust your saddle height on the move. Drop your seat for steep descents and technical trails, then raise it again for efficient climbing.
Reliable Shimano-Compatible Drivetrain & Powerful Braking
The Marin Rift Zone 1 is equipped with a dependable microSHIFT Advent MX 11-speed drivetrain, providing smooth and reliable shifting across a wide range of terrain. The Marin forged alloy crankset with a narrow-wide 30T chainring offers durability and efficient power transfer, while the KMC X-11 chain ensures long-lasting performance.
For confident stopping power, the bike features Tektro M3120 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear, delivering consistent braking performance whether you’re riding wet trails, steep descents, or fast flowing sections.
Ready for the Trail Straight Out of the Box
Rolling on Delium Rugged 2.4-inch tubeless-ready tyres, the Rift Zone 1 provides excellent grip, stability, and control across mixed terrain. The Marin double-wall aluminium rims with a 30mm internal width offer a strong and reliable wheel setup designed to handle the demands of modern trail riding.
