Description

Marin Rift Zone JR 26 - Teal/Black - 2024

The Marin Rift Zone 26 is the perfect do-it-all full-suspension trail bike for young riders who want big-bike performance in a youth-sized package. Designed to provide the same trail-ripping fun as its full-sized counterpart, this bike features 130mm of plush MultiTrac suspension, modern trail geometry, and high-quality components to keep young shredders in control.

What sets the Rift Zone 26 apart is its upgradeable design—it shares the same frame, fork, and shock as the Rift Zone 24, allowing for a simple wheel and crank swap to downsize to 24” wheels, making it an ideal hand-me-down for younger siblings.

  • MultiTrac Suspension – 130mm rear travel with a custom-tuned X-Fusion O2 Pro R shock ensures smooth performance.
  • Air Suspension Fork – X-Fusion Velvet RLC 130mm travel fork with compression and rebound adjustment for tunability.
  • Shimano 11-Speed Drivetrain – Reliable Shimano Deore shifting with wide 11-51T cassette for tackling climbs.
  • Hydraulic Disc Brakes – Tektro HD-M280 brakes with 180mm front / 160mm rear rotors for consistent stopping power.
  • Internally Routed Cables – Clean aesthetic with internal routing for dropper post compatibility.
