Marin Rift Zone EL 2 2026 Electric Bike

Marin’s all-new Rift Zone EL (“Electric Light”) trail eMTBs take everything you love about the Rift Zone formula and repurposes it into bikes that share the capability as the full-powered versions, but in lighter-weight packages. Made possible in part by Bosch’s new lightweight Performance Line SX drive unit and CompactTube internal battery, the Rift Zone EL models deliver a decidedly playful ride, with a power delivery so natural you might forget it’s an ebike. All of the benefits without the bulk, the Rift Zone EL is the perfect platform for those who don’t require the full range and power output of more traditional eMTBs.
