Marin Rift Zone utilizes INTELLIGENT WHEEL PATH, the Quad-Link swingarm instantly increases the bike's overall wheel base thus allowing the front end of the bike, and its momentum, to continue forward uninhibited. Next, guided by the INSTANTANEOUS PIVOT CENTER, the swingarm efficiently moves the rear wheel over the obstacle. Always in contact with the terrain, the wheel takes the fastest and shortest path through the terrain and ultimately returns to rejoin the front end's forward momentum.
