Rise Hydro Seat Tube Height

[Murphius]

Anyone know if the Rise seat tube height has been reduced on newer models? It looks like most Rises have the seat tube collar right about the top tube but on my rise the seat tube extends substantially beyond the top tube.

photos attached showing the difference

What size frame?

Good question, XL

XL is only frame size that has the extended Seat tube. Your frame is normal.

Dang, but thank you for confirming. Literally my only complaint about the bike is that the seat is up a lot higher than I like, even with the seatpost slammed.

Can always cut it…. I’ve done it on several aluminum bikes.

That's one of the reasons I downsized to an L. I'm 191 cm and the L is great with a 180mm OneUp dropper.

I run a 210mm OneUp V2 on a large.

Can you fully slam the seatpost, or does it foul with the on/off switch? I might upgrade at some point but I've got pretty short legs for my height so I'd need to insert a 210 all the way.

To slam it I had to trim the cable endcap in half at the bottom of the post. It gave the cable more flexibility to bend around the power box. Post works perfectly slammed
