Marin RIFT ZONE Jr. Bike 2021

Kids can shred too

Riding a bike is fun. When Marin designed the Rift Zone Jr, they wanted to provide young shredders with a fun full suspension bike that didn’t break the parent’s bank. Built around Marin’s Multi-Trac suspension system, the Rift Zone Jr. is Marin’s most playful and fun youth full suspension bike to date. The bike’s light aluminum frame creates a snappy feel that is equally at home on rolling hills as it is on steep downhill singletrack. A child can fall in love with mountain biking over and over again with the awesome Rift Zone Jr. The bike is perfect for any ambitious kid looking to keep up with the adults and push the boundaries of the local bike park.

The Rift Zone Jr is an incredible bike coming in at a great price. A 120mm X-Fusion Velvet and X-Fusion O2 Pro rear shock provide a supple and smooth ride, the Deore 1x11 drivetrain provides all the gears you need to make it up the steepest climbs, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide incredible stopping power when descending those steep chutes. The bike is rounded out with Marin Tubeless Ready wheels for fewer flats and incredible traction.

If you are looking for a kid’s bike that can handle everything the trail has to offer, the Marin Rift Zone Jr. needs to be the next bike in your garage. From fast flowy singletrack to all-day adventures and everything in between, the Rift Zone Jr. was designed to handle it all. The Rift Zone Jr. will allow a kid to ride further and experience mountain biking with more confidence than ever before.

Review

International Mountain Bike Magazine - " Shrinking the Rift Zone down to a 26-inch compatible frame, then running 24inch wheels has given them the junior version of the bike. Featuring all the best bits from the bigger bike, and making sure things are kept as light as possible, the junior looks to be perfect for up and coming rippers."

Red Kite Prayer - "Marin showed another bike that really grabbed my attention. The Rift Zone Jr. is a 120mm-travel bike made for pint-sized shredders. The aluminum frame is built around 24-inch wheels, but in a stroke of genius that recalls bikes that can run both Plus tires/wheels and 29er sets, the Rift Zone Jr. has clearance enough to run 26-inch wheels, which should give parents who make the investment in this bike another couple of years of use."

Bicycling Mag - "You get the same suspension and a lot of the same quality parts as on the Rift Zone, so your little ripper can keep up with (and probably pass) you on on the trail."
