Overview of components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox 35 Silver model. The travel on this model is 140mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock

Wheels
The wheels on Rift Zone E are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
Stopping the bike when needed, it’s essential for your safety. This e-bike has Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
Rift Zone E comes in 4 sizes, that range from 160 cm – 193 cm (5.25 ft – 6.33 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
