Cannondale Rize Carbon 2 All Mountain Full Suspension
Product DescriptionThe 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.

from Philadelphia, PA, USA Date Reviewed: November 8, 2009 Strengths: Uphill or down, the bike loves them both. The 5" of travel is just a ton of fun and inspires a lot of confidence when blasting downhill. The Lefty Max 130 with RLC is extremely adjustable and works very nicely when dialed in. Weaknesses: My bike came with Avid Elixir CR brakes. Excellent modulation and power, but they are starting to squeak and groan. This is especially true after they warm up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wissahickon Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $3400.00 Purchased At: Downingtown Bicycle Similar Products Used: Scalpel, Prophet, Super V. Bike Setup: Stock except for Shimano XTR pedals.
