Rize is the name of the touring and all-mountain bike that was presented to the public for the first time at Twoo. It offers 130 millimetres of suspension travel and is the perfect match for the revised Lefty fork with the same amount of travel. The Rize is a supported single-pivot bike whose chainstays are fixed, unlike the Scalpel cross-country fully, and rotate around a main bearing in the bottom bracket area.

The carbon frame of the Rize weighs just 2.1 kilograms and boasts good stiffness values. The aluminum counterpart is only 200 grams heavier. The complete weights of the Rize bikes range between 10.7 and 13.7 kilograms, with prices between 3,400 and 11,500 (!) francs.

According to initial ride reports, the Rize is very easy to ride uphill thanks to the drivetrain-neutral suspension. Downhill, the suspension travel is fully utilized and both medium and small bumps are absorbed cleanly. In general, the Rize is a very capable touring bike with reserves for rougher terrain.

The Moto is designed for enduro use. The shock is floatingly supported on the rear triangle and tickles 160 millimetres of travel out of the carbon frame, which weighs just 2.8 kilograms.

The Moto is very versatile, depending on the chosen equipment. Lightly built, it is a suspension travel-rich all-mountain bike with touring capabilities. If you choose more stable attachments, it meets the requirements of an enduro bike. The geometry leaves both variants open, but tends more towards maneuverability and playfulness.

The prices for the Moto should range from 6,000 to 10,000 Swiss francs depending on the version, with weights between 15.5 and 12.5 kilograms.
