The Rise also comes with a new 360 Wh battery that weighs 1.8 kilograms and can be recharged in three hours, or customers can opt for a larger 540 Wh unit that is compatible with a 252 Wh range extender. The Rise comes with a range of Shimano components, including XTR components, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and varying suspension components and wheel options. Prices for the Rise range from 5,299 Euros, or $5,622 USD, for the H10, H20, and H30 versions to 10,999 Euros, or $11,669 USD, for the M-LTD, M-TEAM, M10, and M20 versions.
