Expirience with the Commencal SUPREME DH ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl The SUPREME DH ESSENTIAL is the most successful bike from the Downhill World Cup. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Commencal. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. With 17,7 kg, the Commencal Downhill-Bike tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Commencal engineers. For 4699 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential.
