Expirience with the Marin Rift Zone 29 2

Ludwig Döhl Inexpensive fullys have become rare, but with the Rift Zone 29 2 , the guys from Marin deliver an adequate candidate in the lower price segment. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Rift Zone 29 2 has a sporty seating position. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Marin Rift Zone 29 2. But the Marin Trailbike still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Marin installed higher-quality wheels. With 5 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
