You can choose between the Rise SL, designed for agile trail riding, and the longer-travel Rise LT, which is better suited to rougher terrain and more demanding descents.

Abbreviations used on the MK 3 models:

 

SL (Super Light): This is your awesome all-around trail eMTB, built to be as light as possible. Just like the Mk 2 Rise, it's got 140/140mm front/rear suspension.


LT (Long Travel): This one's all about going big! The LT takes that light Rise setup and turns it into a seriously capable enduro bike with 160/150mm suspension and a slacker head angle for gnarly trails.
