The Rift Zone 2 feels right at home weaving through forest trails. Its 130 mm MultiTrac suspension smooths out roots, rocks, and rough sections, helping you stay confident on winding singletrack. The lightweight Series 3 aluminum frame is agile enough for tight turns between the trees, while the X-Fusion dropper post lets you quickly adjust for climbs and descents. With reliable components from Marzocchi, Shimano, and Maxxis, it delivers capable trail performance without the premium price tag.

CHAINSTAY/SEATSTAY PROTECTORS & UDH ON ALLOY MODELS

ENHANCED CHAINSTAY/SEATSTAY PROTECTION

Suspension Setup
REAR SHOCK SET UP
Recommended Sag = 30%/15mm
Step 1: Set correct pressure in rear shock.
Step 2: Sit on the bike and cycle the suspension (*with correct riding gear).
Step 3: Reset O-ring and sit on the bike, DO NOT BOUNCE, carefully step off.
Step 4: Measure sag (from o-ring to seal of shock), If it does not match the bike’s recommended sag in millimeters repeat process.
Step 5: Adjust rebound setting to ensure proper control.
FORK SET UP
Marin recommends that all bikes front and rear suspension feel balanced
Step 1: After rear sag is set follow the recommended pressure from the fork manufacture.
Step 2: Bounce evenly up and down on the bike, cycling the suspension up and down to make sure both front and rear suspension feel balanced, if the front does not match the rear add or release pressure.
Step 3: Once the bike feels balanced adjust the rebound damping to ensure proper control.
