Technology
Series 3 Aluminum Frame
Rift Zone alloy models feature Series 3 aluminum frames, with detailed forgings, highly manipulated tubes, and full internal cable routing with new braze-in ports, giving the rider a high feature and high-performing upgrade-worthy platform.
MultiTrac Suspension Technology
MultiTrac is an acclaimed suspension system, fine-tuned to have a balanced ride capable of absorbing big hits with an efficient pedaling platform. The rocker link provides a progressive leverage ratio for the rear shock for small bump sensitivity and the feeling of a long travel system on large drops and rocks. 130mm rear travel on all Rift Zone models.
Modern Trail Geometry
Trail geometry with 430mm chainstays, low bottom bracket, long top tube, and a slack 65.5° head angle make for a playful yet confidence-inspiring bike.
Internal Routing
Rift Zone Alloy models sport full internal cable/hose routing in the front triangle, and all-new brazed-in cable ports, providing a clean and rattle free cable set up.
Chainstay / Seatstay Protectors & UDH on Alloy Wheels
Rift Zone models have enhanced chainstay and seat stay protectors for a quiet ride, and utilize SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) to help future-proof the frame as well as allow for T-type drivetrains.
Enhanced Chainstay / Seatstay Protection
Rift Zone models have prominent chainstay and seat stay protectors for a quiet ride that also protects the paint finish.
