For This Bike
Oct 2023
Commencal's mixed-wheel long travel bike blurs the line between trail and enduro.
Jan 2023 · Scotty Prendergast
For a brand born and bred in the hills of the Andorran high country, whenever the crew at [R]evolution get their paws on one of Commencals new whips for review, we’re always drooling with anticipation to see how any of their bikes are going to handle out in the wild. Watch the vid and read up on our thoughts!

The bike is quite balanced over roots and rocks, making it easy to spin up the techy spots, and the steep seat tube angle helped keep us up over the front of the bike to prevent the front wheel from wandering ahead of us due to the slack head angle.
Very capable in the gnar
Excellent traction & stability
Relatively inexpensive
A La Carte build configurator
Not agile, long rear end can require more effort to manage at slower speeds
Not light
