The Marin Rift Zone 2 27.5 Complete Mountain Bike is a clickbait title come to life: it really is the kind of bike they don't want you to know about! Reason being, it's a quarter of the price of bikes it routinely outperforms. 27.5" wheels keep it quick and lively, with solid componentry throughout - including Shimano's latest Deore 12 speed, which has become the mark of well-spec'd bikes across the industry. This is the kind of setup that product managers ride when they're forced to buy their own gear. The Rift Zone 2 is a bike for riders who are in it for maximum blast-for-cash.
Series 3 6061 Double Butted Aluminum Frame – From its advanced tube forms, threaded bottom bracket, and full internal cable routing, this frame leaves nothing to chance. It's made to exacting standards with today's best technology.
MultiTrac Suspension Technology – MultiTrac is an acclaimed suspension system, fine-tuned to have a balanced ride capable of absorbing big hits with an efficient pedaling platform. The rocker link provides a progressive leverage ratio for the rear shock for small bump sensitivity and the feeling of a long travel system on large drops and rocks.
RockShox Deluxe Select R – Deluxe Select delivers a lightweight package with the same proven damping performance of the entire Deluxe family. Featuring Maxima Plush fluid for added performance and ride quality, and a highly tunable DebonAir™ spring for a coil-like consistent feel throughout the travel.
Shock Adjustments – Air Spring Pressure / Rebound Adjust
Modern Trail Geometry – The slack head tube angle paired with a steep seat tube angle create a ride that will fly uphill with perfect front wheel precision but then descend like it’s on rails. The balanced rider position thanks to the steep seat tube puts your weight between the wheels for impressive climbing and handling on flats, while the slack front end and short rear center help to pull you through the rough descents and corners with an intuitive feel.
Internal Routing – Compatible with internally routed dropper posts, with internal rear derailleur routing for a clean look and snag free ride.
148x12mm Boost Thru-Axle
RockShox Recon Silver RL – With optimized material concentrated at the brace and seal area, outstanding stiffness and steering precision, Recon Silver is an all-around performer suited for any MTB.
Fork Adjustments – Air Spring Pressure, Compression to Lockout, Rebound Adjust
Shimano Deore 12 Speed – The new 12 speed Deore combines Shimano's legendary shifting performance with a price tag for the masses. With a massive 510% gear range and smooth shifts--even under load--this 1x drivetrain is many experts' component of the year.
Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakeset – From their clean look levers to their predictable power delivery, these 2-piston hydraulic brakes are a great fit for today's lightweight trailbikes.
180mm Rotors
Double Wall Alloy Rims on Shimano 410 Hubs – These wheels roll fast and smooth, with Shimano Microspline hubs and 32 spokes. Their double walled rims fight dings and dents, and at 29mm wide they're a perfect match for aggressive tread.
