Dream Builds: Owen Foster's Mix-Wheeled Commencal Clash "Warpig"

Apr 2021

"It's just a 27.5 bike with the wheel I'm used to in front…" Owen Foster playing down the mullet setup of his custom Commencal Clash in our first Dream Builds feature, supported by Ride Wrap.

Highs
  • Long travel sled that takes big brakes

  • Not precious

  • Available as a frame

  • Polished raw metal finish looks great

  • Mixed wheel setup improves maneuverability

  • Fox 36 with Grip2 performs well

  • Öhlins TTX22m shock works great

  • Light pedaling despite heavy weight

  • Titanium cranks are durable

  • Shimano Saints powerful brakes

  • SRAM drivetrain shifts well

  • Best thing: riding it

Lows
  • No bottle cage bosses

  • Dynamic suspension setting not preferred
