Marin Rift Zone EL 1 (Ex-Rental)

Lightweight Power, All-Out Fun

The Rift Zone EL (Electric Light) brings everything you love about the Rift Zone into a lighter, more agile eMTB. Featuring Bosch’s new lightweight Performance Line SX motor and CompactTube battery, it delivers a responsive, natural ride that feels just like your favorite trail bike—only faster.

With less weight but all the performance, the Rift Zone EL is ideal for riders who don’t need the range or bulk of full-power eMTBs.
