At a glance
The Code Encrypt is a genuine NHL pro stock build with a fixed PP26MX curve and 75 flex, while the Rise is way more affordable and offers a much wider curve and flex selection for players still figuring out their preferences. What you actually notice is the price gap and how much more locked-in the Encrypt feels compared to the Rise's flexibility for beginners.
