Cannondale Rize 4 Bike - 2009

Designed for superb all-mountain performance, the Cannondale Rize handles mixed terrain with ease and comfort. Lightweight aluminum frame is paired with composites for further weight savings so you spend less time pushing and more time flying. Carbon seatstays and asymmetric aluminum chainstays work to maximize lateral rigidity for increased performance. 3-D forged ''Backbone'' design integrates the bottom bracket shell, lower pivot point and seat tube for superb stiffness and strength where it counts. FOX Float RL fork delivers an impressive 140mm (5.5 in.) of front travel for plenty of shock absorption and rebound damping. Fox Float RP2 rear shock nearly levitates the rear end over rugged terrain and off big drops. Shimano XT rear derailleur and LX shifters provide quick, dependable shifting. Hayes Stroker Ryde hydraulic disc brakes and levers provide ample stopping power. WTB Speed Disc XC wheels with Maxxis Ridgeline tires keep you rolling in confidence. Specs are subject to change.
