FRAME
Rift Zone EL models are built around Marin's Series 4 aluminum frames, with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tubes and full internal cable routing, giving riders the highest-end alloy frame that Marin offers. 29” wheels roll at both ends of all three models in the Rift Zone EL collection.
ADJUSTABLE HEADTUBE ANGLE
The headtube angles on the Rift Zone EL models can be fine-tuned via the proprietary headset cups and inserts, allowing for approximately +/- 0.50° of adjustability beyond the stock 65° headtube angle to best suit your riding style and local trails.
DRIVE UNIT
Packing 55Nm torque and up to 600W of power in a lightweight 4.4lbs/2kg drive unit, Bosch’s Performance Line SX drive unit delivers a silent riding experience with no motor noise and no drag at speed, for a very natural feeling power delivery.
BATTERY
The Bosch CompactTube 400Wh battery delivers from 15-55 miles (25-90km) of range (based on rider weight, terrain, climate and level of assist used) and fully charges in about six hours using the included 2A charger. It’s securely mounted in the downtube and is removable using common tools.
CONTROLLERS
Bosch’s system controller is conveniently located on the top tube and includes the power switch and an LED-based mode/battery level indicator.
The wireless mini remote is within reach of the rider’s left thumb and controls the power assist mode, allowing the rider to make quick adjustments on the fly.
EXTRAS
Bosch’s PowerMore range extending battery can be added to the downtube of Rift Zone EL models, giving the riders an additional 250Wh of power in a form factor not much larger than a water bottle. Available in the technical spec.
