It’s my Marin Rift Zone 3. I use it as a parts mule for long term parts tests (it’s shown up here in suspension, wheel, brake, dropper, drivetrain, and cockpit reviews).
I’m currently riding it SS. It does require a tensioner. In this case it’s a 9-Speed XTR shadow derailleur with a Saint super short cage wound on.
I had a clutch Zee derailleur but it was no quieter than the XTR with proper chain length and I could feel the clutch doing its thing through the drivetrain/suspension.
