Some new spy shots from the new version of the Commencal Supreme DH bike. The bike seems to work when looking at the qualifying results of the Commencal riders at a local race in Portugal.




I like that not only the factory riders get the prototype frames (maybe also near production, i dont care). Commencal does an acelent job here.

That’s their new enduro rig, right? Looks like they ain’t on the high-pivot bandwagon, still a vpp... Smile

From Gamux IG story.
Frame doesn't match either their Runi or Marca frames.
Long travel enduro with double crown fork maybe?

Haha wow. If it was not for the Intense print scheme this might as well be a Santa Cruz.

New BOS Idylle
Manitou: we launched the stiffer, beefier 37mm stanctions!
RS and Fox: Hold my beer.

Fox: Introducing the superstiff 38
Rockshox: Now, let us look at Zeb!
BOS: Hold my beer.

Soooo, does this mean there will be a single crown fork with 39mm stantions? Holy mother of Batman!!! And the last Bos, the inverted one, was a 220mm travel fork. And the previous, right-side-up 37 FCV was a 208mm travel fork. How much would this one be?

The DC 39 has 208mm of travel and it could be a great fork but its hard to get spare Parts from Bos.

There is also an SC Version with 39mm and 190mm Travel.

Yeah, I heard horror stories about BOS servicing too.

But honestly, if you don't have 2 left arms and have a half decent garage, enabling you to service your own suspension, what brand to get? Intend?

FOX is notorious for a clusterfuck of servicing tools (expensive tools that change from generation to generation), RS is fairly OK, but has been dropping the ball parts wise - I have a C1 RC2 Lyrik, that looks to be a complete unwanted child (it's a bit of a mix and match of parts, not quite an Ultimate, but very much like it), shimstack specs for shocks aren't available anymore, there is a single spec rebuild kit for rear shocks covering all of them and including parts that aren't covered by the service manual, meaning there is a lot of leftover unused parts after the service, etc.

In this day and age, in a time where we should be making less waste and in a time where supplies are fickle at best, it would make sense to have a spec of O-rings and wipers that would be standard parts, then just specify the dimensions, material and hardness for correct operation. It's not like the parts used in the products are a completely special part, they are mostly off the shelf designs.

I have no personal experience here but it’s been said that the DVO stuff is great for self maintenance and customer service, but that may vary depending on where you are...
