Bike Feature: Cannondale RZ One Twenty 2



The Cannondale RZ One Twenty 2 is something of an all-purpose dual suspension mountain bike. It's pretty lightweight for a dualie, it has a very good component mix featuring Sram X7 and X9 componenets, Avid Elixer R hydraulic discs and some nice FSA bits, and it has a 120 mm Lefty Ultra up front mated with a Fox Float RP2 in the rear. That's enough suspension to tame virtually any local terrain, but the bike is still nimble enough to use in simple cross country riding.

Cannondale has for years been one of the most innovative bike companies out there and the RZ One Twenty is no exception. Take, for example, the one-piece seat tube, BB shell and lower pivot housing. That's right, all 3 pieces are actually one one three-dimensionally forged piece of metal with no welds. That increases strength in crucial areas and makes the bike lighter at the same time.

There are plenty more features to talk about but to really get a sense of the bike come down to the shop and check out the model we've got in stock right now, selling for $3600.
