Evening Guys,

Anyone own\ridden or have any opinions on this bike. Looking for a pretty much do it all 29er and this ticks most of the boxes. Took one for a quick ride the other day and was really impressed. The only thing that I have concerns over is the weight, it's not really thant light at 14.4KG but not sure how this weight rates for a 29er.

Living in the deepest darkest South Wales valleys I climb a lot of steep hills, mostly forest roads but with some single track thrown in. The downs are pretty much all mountin sort of downs.

Thanks for any advice\opinions

Cheers

It seems expensive to me.

Not so worried about price. I can pick it up £700 cheaper than the list price

mcnultycop

Is there anything else you fancy in that price range?

Also looked at the Yeti SB66 (the Alloy version not the Carbon) but that's pushing the top end of my budget.

A Yeti would float my boat, that Commencal seems poor value, even at £700 off.

....or possibily a Giant Trance X 29er 0
