Rift Zone EL 1 2026

The Rift Zone EL (Electric Light) offers Marin's UK rider favourite electric mountain bike model in a lighter weight variant. With performance to match the full-powered Rift Zone E range, the EL removes some bulk for those that do not need the full range output of the more traditional E-MTB's.

The beating heart of the Rift Zone EL is Bosch's new Performance Line SX drive unit and compact 400wh internal battery. The smooth motor offers a powerful 55nm of torque, expected range is between 15-55 miles depending on terrain and level of power assistance used.
