The Rift Zone 3 is ready for fast, fun singletrack and may double as a slalom bike for those going through a mid-life crisis.
Price
Confidence in its identity
The right geometry for the task
Reliable drivetrain
Capable suspension despite lack of bells and whistles
Predictable tires
Crank bolt came loose often and uses 10mm hex nut which isn’t common on most bike tools
Brakes may be under-powered for larger riders or steep descents
Lagging rear hub engagement

With its solidly oriented frame geometry this is a bike designed for speed on the trails

The Rift Zone sits firmly in the trail bike category, built for all-around riding with a confident and efficient nature. There’s 120mm of stout travel out the back, 130mm travel RockShox Revelation up the front, 29” wheels and all those key ingredients we look for like a single ring drivetrain, dropper post and decent width …
Killer value.
Rides really well.
Fast!
Firm suspension.

The Marin Rift Zone is a dark horse with an unassuming character, it’s a trail slayer with new geometry for 2018 that has moved this bike firmly into trail bike territory. At a humble price the 120mm bike will turn frowns upside down without the need to rob a bank. Review - Specialized Rhyme Comp 6Fattie First Look - Marin Four Corners Gravel Bike The alloy Rift Zone with it’s 120mm of rear travel and 130mm up front slots into the Marin range next to the 27.5” Hawk Hill where the travel and the intentions are the same but the wheel size differs, with the Rift Zone sporting 29er hoops.

The Marin Rift Zone 3 was the underdog in our group test but ended up surprising the test crew with its on-trail performance.
Jul 2017 · Guy Kesteven
Fast rolling, but twitchy steering, numb suspension and component niggles undermine confidence
Feb 2015
The Marin Rift Zone 9 Carbon blurs the lines between XC and trail, though we could certainly see this bike become very capable with a beefier fork up front.
