Marin's Rift Zone Carbon is another addition to the growing field of short travel bikes with aggressive geometry.
Great handling
Modern geometry
Solid build kit with nice attention to the details
Rear shock needs setup time
Vague Shimano brake bite point
Bit heavy for a short travel bike

The new carbon front-triangle is a premium upgrade to Marin's Rift Zone 29er
Great build
Dialed geometry
Less refined suspension than its competition

We're always a little cautious about carbon bikes that hover around the $4,000 mark. They often kinda seem like they're just an invitation to spend more

With few spec and handling compromises, the Marin rides like a bike costing triple the price
Exceptional suspension and great geometry
Confidence-inspiring on the descents
A great performer ripe for upgrades
No dropper post

Great riding position and handling
Needs a shock to match its attitude
