The all-new Rift Zone EL ("Electric Light") trail eMTBs take everything you love about the Rift Zone and repurposes it into bikes that share the capability of the full-powered versions but in lighter 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 its an ebike. With all 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.

Step up to EL2 and you're rewarded with Fox Performance suspension front and rear, along with SRAM's GX Lunar 12-speed drivetrain and Code Bronze 4-piston brakes.

Sizing

How do you know what size of bike you should buy?

A good place to start is using the sizing charts included for each bike on the info page. If you're in the middle of the recommended height range for a specific size then usually that's the correct one to go with. If you find yourself overlapping sizes at either the top or bottom of the height recommendation than sizing up or down could be a consideration.

For more relaxed fitting "city-style" bikes sizing is less crucial because often they will have adjustable stems and offer more overlap in sizing. Smaller bikes will be slightly easier to manage when starting and stopping while larger bikes will feel more stable when riding. Most often we recommend sizing down in this category.

Bikes that have a more aggressive riding position i.e. road, gravel and mountain bikes sizing is more important. In these categories we usually look closely at 3 numbers, reach, stack, and top-tube length.
