We just received our new 2023 Marin Rift Zone 2 29er in medium and it is a pretty sweet re-design!
The Rift Zone is a great beginner trail mountain bike for those looking to just get into the full suspension category or those that want a higher spec trim. They start at $1799 and go up to $3499
For 2023 Marin updated the frame to have different cable routing, a steeper seat tube (to allow a longer dropper post), stretched out the wheelbase and the reach a bit, and upped the travel to 140mm up front and 130mm in the back. The fork got the biggest change with the Marzocchi Bomber Z2 and a Rockshox Deluxe Shock w/ lockout in the rear.
If you are looking for a sweet trail bike that has a nice fork upgrade over a lot of the competition, then check out the new Rift Zone 2. We will also have content coming soon when the new Rift Zone 1 drops in a few weeks as well as the new Rift Zone Jr/26. #bikingroots, #marinbikes, #mtb
