that’s actually right.. what do you think about the 34 factory vs 36 perf elite on a 17kg bike with an 85kg rider? up until now I only rode 34s on a scott genius and never really felt like i’m missing anything.. but then, i have never ridden a 36 and this bike is 3-3.5kgs heavier than my analogue..
Like I said, probably a silly question to begin with, but thank you for your answers. I think I’m ready to pull the trigger and see if this is something for me.
Hi! I have a silly question to you Rise owners - I'm 33 and pretty fit, but usually mostly do trailrunning and road cycling. I've been doing mountainbiking only 1-2 (sometimes 3) times a week because I always liked riding trails and riding alone. Due to limited time (on my analogue Scott...
Eh, I'm currently in a weird where I can look at:
- Rise M20 for around $7500
- 2020 Turbo Levo SL Expert Carbon for around the same ($7500)
- Rise M10 for about $9500
- 2020 S-Works Turbo Levo SL for around $10500

I don't really ride a lot of the gnarly terrain, it's mostly...
What about the shock? Or is the one on it fine? You upgraded cause you hit gnarly trails or did you try the stock fork and it wasn’t enough? Thanks!
Are brakes ok for your riding?
Yah it’s acoustic and I really like it :)
Yeah I could move the shock technically, as well as rotors/brakes (XT) it’s not a bad idea.. but I really wouldn’t want to spend so much cash on a new bike and ride a 3yo suspension and brakes to be fair :)
I don’t mind what it looks like really, and I...
Hi! I own a 2019 Scott Genius 910 (that’s XT brakes / FOX Performance Elite 150mm fork combo) and was looking to upgrade. I’m 6’1 and 185lbs but don’t really bike super gnarly trails anymore. I do mostly running and gravel/road biking and local trails MTB is another way of trying to stay fit...
