Hi guys,

Been riding about 6 years or so (54m) after my wife got into it, so we ride together. Last 3y I moved to emtb, which really upped my technical game. Before switching to the Rise, I was dead tired after each ride (usually technical riding, 30km x 500m) and didn't feel like I was getting any better. After switching to emtb, I really felt like I was getting the hang of things and doing more and more technical moves. I can do a decent manual, but no wheelies or bunny hops. I'm slowly increasing drop heights, climbing higher and getting better at different types of terrain.
I'm really happy I chose the lighter bike. It feels very similar to my previous MTB (Scott Spark 920) rather than a full heavy emtb, which I saw a lot of my peers losing their fitness after switching.
