Great overall bike! Derail cage broke after 1 rock smash, so watch out for that. Otherwise than that, great!

Looking for a premium play bike that eats other all-mountain rigs for breakfast? The Rize brings all-new metalforming technologies to the bike industry, creating a lighter, stiffer and plusher platform to enjoy the backcountry. Traditional Cannondale innovations, including Si-equipped head tubes and bottom bracket shells, make the Rize a dreamy ride.
BACKBONE
Stiffer, lighter and stronger: Cannondale introduced to the bicycle industry new metalforming technology on the Rize. The Backbone combines the BB30 shell, lower pivot, and double-butted seat tube into a 3D forged part.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Si has long been used on Cannondale's bicycles, and the Rize is yet another example. Making machined headset cups integral to the frame eliminates unneeded parts; combining the stem and steerer also reduces the flex inherent in joining two separate pieces. The net result is a bike that weighs less, steers better, and allows cyclists to out-accelerate their riding partners.
HYDROFORMED TUBING
Riders benefit from Cannondale aluminum-manufacturing heritage. Hydroformed tubing - like on the chainstays and the main triangle - use organic shapes that resist lateral flex and ensure every pedal stroke goes towards driving the bike forward.
