The new Rift Zone EL charts a different path within the Rift Zone E family. These models take the proven geometry, travel and trail prowess of the proven Rift Zone E in a nimble and lighter package.

Marins all-new Rift Zone EL (Electric Light) trail eMTBs take everything you love about the Rift Zone formula and repurposes it into bikes that share the capability as the full-powered versions, but in lighter-weight packages.

Made possible in part by Boschs new lightweight Performance Line SX drive unit and CompactTube internal battery, the Rift Zone EL models deliver a decidedly playful ride, with a power delivery so natural you might forget its an ebike. All of the benefits without the bulk, the Rift Zone EL is the perfect platform for those who dont require the full range and power output of more traditional eMTBs.

All three models are well-equipped with performance-focused components from top-tier supplier partners such as Fox, SRAM, Shimano, TRP and more. Throw a leg over one and discover just how agile and fun an eMTB can be.

The flagship Rift Zone EL XR is decked out with a gamut of high performance components, including the impressive Fox 36/Float X Performance Elite suspension combo, SRAM’s GX AXS wireless T-type transmission drivetrain and Magura MT-7 4-piston brakes.

FRAME

Rift Zone EL models are built around our Series 4 aluminum frames, with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tubes and full internal cable routing, giving riders the highest-end alloy frame that Marin offers. 29 wheels roll at both ends of all three models in the Rift Zone EL collection.

MULTITRAC SUSPENSION

It wouldnt be a Rifty without our much-heralded MultiTrac suspension that pairs an ideal leverage curve with a custom shock tune. The resulting 140mm of travel balances pedal efficiency and the ability to float over rocks and roots while delivering confidence-inspiring chassis control.

ADJUSTABLE HEADTUBE ANGLE

The headtube angles on the Rift Zone EL models can be fine-tuned via the proprietary headset cups and inserts, allowing for approximately +/- 0.50 of adjustability beyond the stock 65 headtube angle to best suit your riding style and local trails.

DRIVE UNIT

Packing 55Nm torque and up to 600W of power in a lightweight 4.4lbs/2kg drive unit, Boschs Performance Line CX drive unit delivers a silent riding experience with no motor noise and no drag at speed, for a very natural feeling power delivery.

BATTERY

The Bosch CompactTube 400Wh battery delivers from 15-55 miles (25-90km) of range (based on rider weight, terrain, climate and level of assist used) and fully charges in about six hours using the included 2A charger. Its securely mounted in the downtube and is removable using common tools.

CONTROLLERS

Boschs system controller is conveniently located on the top tube and includes the power switch and an LED-based mode/battery level indicator.

The wireless mini remote is within reach of the riders left thumb and controls the power assist mode, allowing the rider to make quick adjustments on the fly.

PROTECTION

Made from a 30% fiberglass-infused nylon, similar to what is used on safety and football helmets, the moto-inspired integrated downtube guard helps deflect errant rocks, logs, or anything else riders may encounter on the trail. This guard also includes drain ports to let moisture flow from the frame.

Chainstays and seatstays are protected with durable rubber guards that minimize noise and protect paint finishes. Cable ports are of an all-new design and keep the frame innards sealed. These ports use rubber membranes punctured during initial assembly and seal around the housing or hose once inserted.

EXTRAS

Boschs PowerMore range extending battery can be added to the downtube of Rift Zone EL models, giving the riders an additional 250Wh of power in a form factor not much larger than a water bottle. Available at extra cost from authorized Bosch ebike retailer.
