Extra Radical. Extra Playful. Built for Maximum Trail Fun.
The 2026 Marin Rift Zone 27.5 XR is Marin’s most capable and agile trail bike. Engineered for riders who value flickability and control, the XR build pushes the platform further with a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork and a Fox Float X Performance shock. Whether you're hitting technical descents or flowy singletrack, this bike is designed to turn every trail into a playground.
Key Features

- XR Suspension Package: Features a 140mm Marzocchi Bomber Z1 (Rail Damper) and a 130mm Fox Float X for superior mid-stroke support and tunability.
- Agile 27.5” Wheels: The ultimate wheel size for quick acceleration, effortless cornering, and a playful ride character that is easy to manuever.
- Shimano 12-Speed Drivetrain: A high-performance mix of Deore XT and SLX components for crisp, reliable shifting across a massive 10-51T gear range.
- 4-Piston Braking Power: Shimano MT420 hydraulic brakes paired with a massive 203mm front rotor provide downhill-level stopping power and heat management.
