First trail ride on the sweet new 2023 Marin Rift Zone 1!

We did a previous video on the specs and features of the new 2023 Marin Rift Zone 1. If you want more info on that, here is the video

   • Quick Look at the New $1799 2023 Mari...  

In this video, I finally had the opportunity to take the Rift Zone 1 Medium 27.5 out on the trail to give it a shake down and see how it rides.

I was way impressed with it! For $1799 you get a pretty sweet full suspension mountain bike with modern geometry, capable X Fusion air suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a 5 year warranty. It does not come stock with a dropper post but you can add one for a couple hundred dollars if that is important to you.

As mentioned in the video, shorter and smaller people tend to feel better on 27.5 rift zones while taller people tend to go for the 29ers. I ride both at 5’8” but lately have been riding my 29er Forbidden Druid. I enjoyed the 27.5 though on this ride. Maybe it was in my head but it felt very lively and sporty and nimble in the turns. #bikingroots, #marinbikes, #beginnerfullsuspension

If you are local to Houston, come check out the new Rift Zone and take it for a spin!
