Marin Bikes has launched the latest additions in the acclaimed MultiTrac line of full suspension mountain bikes, the new Rift Zone Carbon. Consisting of two models, the Rift Zone Carbon 1 and Rift Zone Carbon 2, they expand the Rift Zone line to provide higher-spec models for the discerning mountain biker.
Key frame attributes:
- High modulus carbon fiber monocoque front triangle, delivering the lightest, most-capable Rift Zone that we have ever made.
- Enhanced Series 4 aluminum swing arm. Modeled after the Alpine Trail’s swingarm, with oversized bearings and a locking collet main pivot to
- deliver the smoothest and most durable performance.
- Integrated rubber downtube protector, built to withstand whatever the trail may dish out.
- Modern geometry. Sharing the same progressive numbers as the 2020 Rift Zone alloy models, with a 65.5° headtube angle, 76° seattube angle,
- 425mm chainstays, and 480mm reach (size L).
- Dropper post optimization to let the rider run longer than stock posts if desired.
- Threaded bottom bracket and ISCG05 tabs.
- 130mm front/125mm rear travel.
The Rift Zone Carbon models will be available by late November 2019, with MSRPs of $4399 for the Rift Zone Carbon 2, and $3499 for the Rift Zone Carbon 1.
