Highlights

Less E, more bike means more natural assistance and longer rides. Everything is about balance, and a ride this good is only possible when you consider handling, power, and range together, right from the start.

Rise SL

The Essence of Trail

Rise SL is built for riders who are looking for more flow in every ride. Lightweight and efficient, it's made to cover serious ground.

140mm Front and Rear Travel

420Wh / 630Wh + 210Wh

Fast Trail Kinematics (SL)

Tuning how the suspension behaves under pedalling, what we call the anti-squat, gives great pedalling efficiency and helps make Rise SL an efficient climber.

Rise SL: Travel

Rise SL comes with the fantastic FOX 36 on all models.

Light and Agile

Rise rewrites the rulebook on lightweight ebike handling with a playful and fun ride.

Rise is lighter than ever, and that makes a big difference on the trail. The low weight gives handling that feels capable, playful, and natural whether you’re tackling technical climbs or flowing down fast descents.

Conquer The Climbs with 85Nm of Tuned, Natural Power

With the RS tune, Rise delivers up to 85 Nm of torque, natural and responsive on every ride and with power for the toughest climbs.

Unbeatable Range To Weight

Rise’s natural assistance works with you, delivering power when it’s needed and saving battery when it’s not. It means unparalleled range from the 420Wh and 630Wh batteries. More range, less weight, it's that simple.

The Future Of Control

Our RS Control System removes barriers between you and your bike, making every ride more intuitive, connected, and fun.

Trail Tuned Suspension

Rise SL and LT feature uniquely tuned suspension platforms, each dialed for the ideal balance of support and sensitivity to match their intended ride style.

Concentric Boost

Concentric Boost is our proprietary suspension design, where there is a pivot point at the rear axel. As well as keeping the suspension active under braking, our system uses less parts, removing weight, adding rigidity and improving reliabiltiy.

Light and Capable

Rise delivers natural handling that feels closer to the agility and playfulness of a traditional MTB, thanks to its lower weight and carefully balanced stiffness.

How we tune rigidity

Tuning stiffnesses is hard, maybe why it is so often neglected. Computer modelling and lab tests can take you only so far. The key for us is correlating results from these tests with real-world testing. For that we count on our OOLabs team.

Asymmetric is efficient

Rise´s new asymmetric frame design, already proven in the new Occam and Rallon, is key to finding the perfect structural performance. The position of the brace, together with our SBS battery design increases torsional rigidity. The result? The best ride performance, meaning precise, confident handling no matter what the trail.

Secure Battery System (SBS)

Our SBS system removes any compromises in the frame structure. This allows us to remove weight and increase stiffness where needed.

Size specific stiffness

The asymmetric frame´s design permits us the freedom to tune the rigidity for each size, making sure that as tube lengths and leverages change the feel of Rise stays the same.

Rear triangle & linkage design

Increasing rear triangle stiffness was key. Testing on the trail and in the laboratory both agreed. Finding the sweet spot took many prototypes and tests. We redesigned the shock linkage and the shape of the tubes which make up the rear triangle. The result is a 14% increase in Rear Triangle stiffness.

High Performance Alloy or Carbon

The most advanced materials, the best designs, and the highest manufacturing standards mean we can offer Rise in Alloy or Carbon with all the same great features, such as Size-Tuned Stiffness and Steep'n'Deep. OMR Carbon. High Polish Alloy.

Steep'n'Deep

Long-travel droppers are the only way! Rise you can fit up to a 230mm dropper. Steep'N'Deep has set a new standard in bike design. The ability to fit a long travel dropper lets riders drop the saddle right out of the way on the descents, giving more space to move and more control. Now all riders should be able to fully insert a 200mm dropper and on sizes L and XL that increases to an astonishing 230mm.

Optimized chainstay length

One important factor in handling is chainstay length. In general, shorter chainstays give a more playful bike. With eBikes this is especially important because due to the low down weight they can be less agile. However the motors often limits how short the chainstays can be, having a negative impact on handling. With RISE, thanks to optimized contruction and clever frame design we are able to offer the same chainstay length on Rise as we did on Occam.

Wheel size: Full 29”. Chainstay length: 440 mm.

Conquer The Climbs with 85Nm of Tuned, Natural Assistance

Our RS Gen2 MC tune combines high torque with natural power, a balance that sets Rise apart. Up to 85 Nm of torque gives strong support at low cadences for smoother, more controlled technical climbs. The balanced power means Rise gains more range from a smaller battery, staying lighter, more agile, with range for big days and epic adventures.

Natural, Balanced Power

When it comes to eMTBs, Rise is in a class of its own. It's tuned, balanced assistance combines the technical climbing ability of heavier more powerful models with the agile handling of lightweight eMTBs. A true best of both worlds approach.

This is what we call our RS Gen 2 MC motor tune.

Our Generation 2 firmware and electronic system makes it possible to set the motors torque output up to 85Nm. Our MC tune is specially designed for the optimum trail riding experience.

RS and RS+: Longer Range or More Power

Rise’s RS Gen2 MC tune is designed for the best trail riding experience. Because every adventure is different, you can choose between two modes: one for longer days with maximum range, and another for shorter, faster rides with more assistance. The system offers two modes, RS and RS+.

RS

Ready for epic adventures. RS is the longest range mode, with lower torque. This is for riders who want to maximise range, and also want to do more excercise. It is also a great option for lighter riders who find full torque difficult to control.

RS+

Tackle the toughest climbs. RS+ takes advantage of the full 85Nm of torque to give a ride that feels natural and powerful when you are pushing harder.

Custom

Or have it your way. These are our preferred settings for RS and RS+, however you can configure each mode to suit your rides using the Shimano E-Tube app.

Shimano EP Motors

The EP is Shimano's latest, lightest and most intelligent motor system, weighing from as little as 2.7 kg. Our RS firmware adds more range and a natural feeling. Shimano Freeshift: Shimano´s EP motors are fully compatible with Freeshift on bikes with Di2 electronic shifting. Shimano Collaboration: Working with Shimano to develop an exclusive EP motor tuned to our own specifications has always been key to RISE’s success. Realizing RS Gen 2 meant enhancing communication between motor and battery, and optimizing our batteries for improved cooling and maximum peak power. The result is a seamless system with no power bottlenecks and flawless performance.

Unbeatable Range To Weight

Forget range anxiety. Rise’s natural assistance works with you, delivering power when it’s needed and saving battery when it’s not. A choice of 420Wh or 630Wh batteries let you choose the perfect battery for your trails.

Advanced Batteries

Our new batteries offer the highest energy densities of the market. That means more range and less weight. We are able to increase the capacity by 16% for the same weight. Our batteries are some of the lightest and slimmest examples out there, based on the latest generation 5.8Ah cells. Packing more energy into a smaller space with less weight is key for lightweight e-bikes. Designing our own batteries lets us create unique solutions which integrate better with our frames, using frame space more intelligently, lowering center of gravity and offering better performance.
