2026 Marin Rift Zone EL XR - Tan/Brown
MarinThe all-new Rift Zone EL ("Electric Light") trail eMTBs take everything you love about the Rift Zone and repurposes it into bikes that share the capability of the full-powered versions but in lighter packages.
Made possible in part by Bosch's new lightweight Performance Line SX drive unit and CompactTube internal battery, the Rift Zone EL models deliver a decidedly playful ride with a power delivery so natural you might forget it's an ebike. With all the benefits without the bulk, the Rift Zone EL is the perfect platform for those who don't require the full range and power output of more traditional eMTBs.
The flagship Rift Zone EL XR is decked out with a gamut of high performance components, including the impressive Fox 36/Float X Performance Elite suspension combo, SRAM's GX AXS wireless T-type transmission drivetrain and Magura MT-7 4-piston brakes.
