Marin transformed their award - winning Rift Zone into an electrifying marvel: the Rift Zone E1. This electric mountain bike offers an extra boost, letting you go further, faster, and have even more fun on the trails. It adheres to Marin's less - is - more trail bike philosophy, providing a confidence - building, motor - assisted platform suitable for any terrain. With precisely optimized 140mm of travel, it boasts snappy handling, agile responsiveness, and is easy to control. The Shimano STEPS system powers the bike, delivering effortless all - day fun with reliable technology and large - capacity batteries for epic adventures. It has just the right amount of trail - taming suspension to make every ride a blast, without smoothing out all the rough edges. The Marin Rift Zone E1, Marin's mid - tier electric bike, beautifully balances performance and value. It's built on a Series 4 aluminum frame with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tubes, and full internal cable routing. This gives riders the top - of - the - line alloy frame Marin offers, compatible with modern coil or air shocks. The bike features the proven MultiTrac suspension technology, optimized for the Shimano STEPS system, with 140mm of suspension for an excellent on - trail experience. RockShox handles the front and rear suspension, while Shimano Deore provides a tough, reliable 11 - speed drivetrain. The Shimano STEPS EP6 drive unit offers a powerful 85Nm of torque. A standard 630Wh battery ensures maximum range, and the bike comes with CushCore tire inserts and Marin tubeless sealant right out of the box.
Using your Marin Rift Zone E1 is a breeze. First, make sure the 630Wh battery is fully charged. Then, just hop on and start pedaling. The Shimano STEPS system will automatically kick in to give you an extra boost. You can adjust the level of assistance according to your needs and the terrain. When riding, always wear appropriate safety gear like a helmet and knee pads. As for maintenance, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure a smooth ride. The CushCore tire inserts and Marin tubeless sealant are there to help, but still, a quick check can save you from flats. Clean the bike after each ride, especially if you've been on muddy trails. Use a mild soap and water to clean the frame, drivetrain, and suspension. Lubricate the chain regularly to keep it running smoothly. Every few months, or if you notice any issues, take the bike to a professional bike mechanic for a more in - depth check. And don't forget to charge the battery after each use to keep it in good condition.
