Date Reviewed: August 24, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | calabogie, local ones | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | ....second hand | | Strengths: | Light, nimble, great in the air. | | Weaknesses: | Several to say the least.
The frame cracked in not one, not two. but three places, Poorly welded frame.
Extremely unimpressive warranty service.
You can only run the factory chainguide comfortably.
| | Similar Products Used: | a supercycle.....durability wise | | Bike Setup: | Sram, Race face, Sun ringle | | Bottom Line: | If you want a light nimble race ready bike, that you intend on only racing it twice a month and wont change anything from factory. Then go for it, But not too tough, I ride narmal dh very well, I dont crash or abuse bikes. This is just poorly welded | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$4200.00 | | Strengths: | cornering, jumping, everything! | | Weaknesses: | It hasn't got any | | Similar Products Used: | Intense m3, sunday | | Bike Setup: | fox 40's, Xo, hussefelt cranks | | Bottom Line: | This bike is one of the best bikes money can buy, It is soo good at every aspect of downhilling and free-riding. since i have got this frame i haven't looked back once. My riding has improved dramatically because of it and the more i ride it even after a year the better it gets. I cannot recommend it more. Better yet buy one and see for yourself. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$5000.00 | | Strengths: | corners like it is on rails, jumps effortlessly, is really light and strong frame | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | 224, intense M3 | | Bike Setup: | fox 40's, SRAM x0, truvativ cranks and bb | | Bottom Line: | This bike doesn't compare to anything else i have ridden it is truly in a class of it's own, some people think that 180mm isn't enough but the way the travel is set up it feel bottomless and much better than previous bike with more suspension. I would recommend this bike or frame to anyone. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: November 10, 2006 | | Favorite Trail: | Crans Montana, Swiss Alps. Rheola! | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Bikeactive.com | | Strengths: | Grip is amazing and it corners very well. | | Weaknesses: | None. | | Similar Products Used: | 223, 224 | | Bike Setup: | VIP frame, 40's, Saint, Hope 6ti/M4 | | Bottom Line: | This bike grips so well it gives the rider time to think about lines instead of fighting the trail. Alot of people might be put off by the fact that it only has 7" but this never an issue as it never feels out of its depth. If anything it is a plus point as it doenst feel wallowy. It also feels very stable in the air and it whips round corners due to the short back end. Another great Commencal product! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
