Expirience with the Marin Rift Zone 27.5 2

Ludwig Döhl Inexpensive fullys have become rare, but with the Rift Zone 27.5 2 , the guys from Marin deliver an adequate candidate in the lower price segment. When it comes down to handling, Marin does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the Marin Trailbike is ready for the majority of singletrails. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Marin knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 2335 Euro . We like: 5 years warranty on the frame!
