I asked them 3 months ago and they mailed me back with a nope not doing it. I hope they get lots of these mails - enough to consider it. Rise is a popular bike, so I would think they can make some cash if they want.I just spoke to Cascade links as well last week. They are very interested in making a link for the Rise and WILL be taking a look to see if they can make a link that would benefit the bike or not. And as already stated, the Rise is one of the top selling bikes out there, it would be in their best interest to make a link! I have one on my 21 Stumpy Evo and it absolutely transformed the bike. I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that they can come up with a link! As far as 160mm fork, the Orbea TEAM riders are using 160! Check out Orbeas Instagram, team riders are using 160 on the Rise. Dont see it as an issue at all!
