The RZ 120 is one of the fastest bikes in the all-mountain sports segment. With its short suspension travel and low weight, the Cannondale feels more light-footed than the All-Mountain Plus comparison group. You sit in a sporty position and have remarkable propulsion on the climbs. The suspension is not super-sensitive, but harmonious and you don't need to adjust anything. Downhill the conclusion is: precise steering, fast, safe. The bike feels very stiff between the saddle and handlebars, the low stiffness value is caused by the flexing rear triangle. There's nothing to criticise about Shimano's SLX groupset, but the spec is comparatively meagre. Typical Cannondale: the bike looks more expensive than it is.
ConclusionIf you are looking for an all-rounder with marathon qualities, the RZ 120 is a worthy partner.
