Does anyone own one of these bikes? I have not seen any reviews and wondered how they are to ride?
ThankYouVeryMuch

Well they probably ride like meta 5.5 2009 or 2008. So no worries to have about the riding they are fabulous bikes (and I am not saying that because I have one
)

I have one its great,The only niggle is the poor cable routing for the rear mech its a very tight bend around the swing arm causing eventual stiff gears,I have bypassed this and use one unbroken cable from front to back.
Ride and build quality is exellent,and no cracks....yet!

Brought the 2010 Team version last week and chuffed to bits with it, rides very nice, only downside is its a little on the porky side.

Good idea gav, no stiff gears but I did notice the tight bend around the cable stop before the swigarm. I think I'll drill through and run it full on too...
Next time I change cable
Back to the OP, it's actually the first bike that I am riding that makes me want to brake not because I am rattled along the trail, but because I am sh1tting myself from too much speed

Commencal have got their act together for 2010 and a lot of the quality issues seem to have been resolved.

I've got one, only ridden it a couple of times, but very impressed. Handling is superb, everything feels solid & precise, much better than my stumpy FS.
