Transforming a Marin Rift Zone 27.5 Into a Slopestyle Enduro Machine 3

Turning a full suspension enduro bike into a park bike is nothing new.

A custom cut SRAM derailleur used as a chain tensioner? Pivotal saddle? Proper downhill tires? The list of details is long and Matt has some insightful reasons for choosing each part to make his enduro bike easier to do tricks on and toss around.
