Definetely going to get the rift zone 2 next year, going from a 400$ hard tail. Especially with a new model in 2025 coming out
I am riding my 2005 Giant Reign 2 that I have had since new. Now this Giant is almost like new. I had it custom built, rode for a year and got into MX and put the Giant away. Decided to start riding MTB again a couple years ago and dusted off the Giant. Refrehed it and upgraded a few things and it has been awesome. I love this bike, but keep thinking new technology might be nice and the RIft Zone 2 has my eye.
The RZ2 is a great candidate!
Just got the XR. Big break from MTB, this bike is perfect for me to get back into it. Word of advice for potential buyers, if you’re on the cusp of sizes, don’t be afraid of going up a size. I went XL (183cm tall) and I love it! Matches my old cro mo hard tail measurements perfectly but with a longer wheelbase and 29” wheels.
Love it!
That's awesome! Enjoy!
I got a rift zone 2, 27.5 some time ago, the brakes are complete shit, but get much better with metallic pads, even though the rotors are resin only. Other than that is fantastic. Perfect for my skill level, not too rough, not too smooth.
Glad you're enjoying it! Cheers!
That XR looks amazing
Most definitely!
Aluminium frames brake from Marin , don't even consider the carbon
Looks sick. I'm considering getting the 2 and then bringing up the spec to the XR level, simply because I like the color better. I'd also probably throw on some carbon rims, or at least some lighter alloy ones. Those Marin wheels are heavy af
Cool idea! You'll have to show us once it's done!
The Riftzone 2 looks great! Too bad it doesn’t come stock with the red Z2 though!
Glad you like it!
The XR looks awesome, and it'd probably be my pick if it was a little more reasonably priced (Marin originally recommended $4K, only for it to then retail for $5K. Up to $4.5K I'd be cool, but not $5K).
That said, I definitely agree that the RZ2 is the best choice for the most people. I could not have asked for a better combination of 2022 RZ2 and RZ3 specs into one great value model.
Gotta love that RZ2!
Sick bikes
Would replacing the 140mm fork with a 120mm Sid 35mm be a bad decision? Would having more rear travel make sense? or Would 130/130 be better?
Reducing the front travel by that amount would likely impact the bottom bracket height negatively.
Do maron rift zones 1 and 2 moisten similar jumps, roots and the like? what is the difference in the suspension by feel, how much travel does the marin 1 have and how much does the 2 have?
They have the same travel figures, the Rift Zone 2 just has better components. With that comes better performance all around.
Safety hazard ,they brake the frames upper tube after one-year light use.
Nice bikes and nice rocks 🪨
Xr is my favourite 😍
XR is so sick! Thanks for watching!
Had my eyes on the Alpine Trail for a long time, but when the new Rift Zone was announced I thought the XR could be a good option too. Comparing the Geo/Specs I realized that the RZ looks to be virtually the same bike with 20mm less travel... Am I wrong? How do they compare?
The travel differences will dictate changes in characteristics on the trail. RZ will be more spritely and agile, while the AT will gulp down the big features better!
Purchased a Fox DPS performance rear shock for a 2023 Marin Rift Zone upgrade and wondering what shock mounting hardware size do i need? Anyone know?
Would be ideal to contact Marin tech department for exact specs!
Bro do you sell these in India?
Bikes Online currently serves the Australian and US markets.
Looking on the site, I found that the XR comes with a Z2 fork and not the Z1. Which is correct?
The RZ XR should come specced with a Z1
It more than a bike
We agree!
I can't buy any of the because you don't !@#$ gave them in stock!!!
If you're in the US, we won't be restocking any Marin bikes. Sorry about that!
Surely you guys can gift me that bike
