Marin Rift Zone EL |Ā All the Funā€”Less of the BulkĀ 

The all-new Marin Rift Zone EL ("Electric Light") redefines what a lightweight trail eMTB can be. Built around the Bosch Performance Line SX motor and CompactTube internal battery, the Rift Zone EL delivers a playful, natural ride feel while still offering assistance when you need it. If you love the Rift Zoneā€™s agile handling but want just enough boost to enhance your rideā€”without the weight of a full-power eMTBā€”this is the bike for you.

With 140mm of MultiTrac suspension, flip-chip adjustable geometry, and three well-equipped models, the Rift Zone EL lineup ensures thereā€™s a perfect build for every rider.

INVENTORY & IN-STORE PICKUP

We work hard to keep our inventory accurate and synced with Marinā€™s availability, but occasionally, a specific color or size may sell out before updates are reflected. If your selected bike is unavailable, youā€™ll receive a full refundā€”no questions asked (unless, of course, we can tempt you with a different color or model!).

Most bikes ship from the warehouse within 48 hours, so your pickup timeline typically falls within 4-10 days. Once your order is placed, weā€™ll confirm the estimated pickup date as soon as possible.
