Expirience with the Commencal CLASH ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl You prefer your bike to be used as a on moderate runs? Then the Commencal Enduro and you could really hit it off. The moderate 64 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. The strongest case for this bike is however: The coherent geometry and grippy tires ensure full send mode on the trail.
