29ers are for girls too

Clare borrowed our Marin Rift Zone 29er medium this weekend and didn't want to give it back! This is what she said of the bike:

"At long last there is a 29er small enough for me to try – a Marin Rift Zone for the weekend!

From the start I absolutely loved it.  The effortless climbing and, for a change, riding at the front of our group.  With the occasional growl of “I hate you Harrison” as I passed a male friend on the climbs, it was all good. 

The Marin is so comfortable, especially over roots – you hardly notice them!  Very fast downhill which, I must admit, nearly caught me out a couple of times. 

Overall I cannot fault the bike.  My performance seemed so enhanced on it that it seemed as if I have been in training for a few months, which did make me feel a bit of a cheat! 

Better start saving….."

 

 

 

 

We have a 17, the one Clare used and a 19. The bike retails for £2,199. A full review will follow.
