I put the Marin Rift Zone E1 through its paces on a trail I know like the back of my hand. How does it compare to my trusty Salsa Blackthorn? In a word: surprising.
From wild descents to “impossible” climbs, I finally understand the eMTB hype—and I’ve got thoughts. Is it time to make the switch? I break down what worked, what didn’t, and what every rider should know before going full E.
ONtrail supports Canada’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and believe that it is our responsibility to listen, learn, and support healing. To that end we present this Land Acknowledgement.
The lands on which we build and ride originate from the history and modern traditions of the Anishabe, Attawandaron, Haudenosaunee and the Metis. As we gather on trail let us join in solidarity with our Indigenous brothers and sisters to respect the four directions, land, water, animals and ancestors. We thank the Mississauga of the New Credit First Nation for being traditional stewards of this territory.
