something to remember is that they aren't a one bike line, they have over 20 models starting at $500usd, so they can walk into any shop and sell bikes whilst never selling a DH bikeHeath Sherratt said:Wow, these bikes are no joke. It's going to be interesting seeing how the American market accepts them. It's so saturated and they have an uphill battle for sure, but the bikes look great, the technology seems spot on and the prices seem right in the ball park, oh, and their team is going to be great too if Cedric gets serious(about racing). The one thing is that Cannondale is proven to me, Commencal is not. Practical application is more important than e-pinions. Should be fun to check out, maybe I'll get to ride one at Sea Otter. If any of you guys are there look for me in the DH line-expert 30-35. H
in regards to quality, we had 5 racers on bikes this year and the only problem we had was a broken derailleur hanger that ended up getting stripped out of the frame (that was me hittin a tree at pace)
Commencal sold a few hundred bikes in Canada this year and last time I asked zero warranty's, so lets see how things go.
I've also put about 1500km on a Meta 4.10 XC bike with nothing but accolades
