Expirience with the Commencal SUPREME DH RACE

Ludwig Döhl The SUPREME DH RACE is the most successful bike from the Downhill World Cup. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Commencal Fully is a very balanced customer. Heavy riders over 85 kilos aren´t likely to encounter too many problems with the high weight of 17,7 kg. For lighter riders, this could be a disturbance. The Commencal SUPREME DH RACE has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more.
