Cannondale Rize Carbon 1
Description: (from
cannondale.com)
The Rize is the Swiss Army knife of the trail bike world. It's a bike that brings all-new metalforming technology to the industry, and combines it with carbon-fiber fabrication techniques. It uses a dreamy-riding multi-pivot suspension with 130mm of balanced travel. The means that riders can use it as a do-it-all rig, whether you're riding notoriously gnarly rock gardens in
the Northeast or the gently rolling foothills of the inter-mountain West.

| Pros | Super Fast up and downhill. Great geometry, takes rough terrain really well, extremely solid ride, very light. Rides like a Cadillac on rocks, ruts, etc. | | Cons | It comes with the wrong hardware(in my unknowledgable opinion) Shimano top dog carbon derailer, Shimano brakes, lightweigt tires. If this bike came outfitted with the Scalpel hardware, it would be PERFECT!! I am changing stuff out as I go along.... | | Verdict | I rode a top dog Ellesworth, same day, same trail when I bought the Rize. No comparison.
(To be fair, I have only owned and ridden Cannondale, with the exception of Santa Cruz which I rent out west and thought was a great bike, but the Rize is a whole nother level of bike)
If you are a serious rider, or a serious for fun rider like me...this bike kills. Like the new Scalpel, this is an excellent machine, though it costs.....I LOVE it, and I think I ride pretty hard, looking for rough, fast terrain as opposed to forest roads or singletrack..... | | Recommended for: Experienced XC riders |
