They reviewed the Commencal Ramones 2 about 6 months ago and awarded it 2.5/5 on the basis that at 31.5 lbs, it was too heavy for a hardtail and subsequently a 'short distance/long drop, play and plummet option only'
They've just reviewed the Ramones 1 (identical other than slightly more upmarket rims/drivetrain/forks) weighing in at just over 30 lbs and have awarded it 4/5 declaring it to be "A tough little all-rounder that's capable of tackling pretty much anything".
Meanwhile the original review for the Ramones 2 has vanished.
stopped caring about journos reviews a long time ago .....
only way to decide is to ride ...
Twits. I think it looks like fine bike, similar to the Pig, or a Kona 5-0 etc.

yes, bike reviews are silly
Does it break as easily as other Commedycals? If not then a little wieght is a good thing.
While we are on the subject of journo's i remember reading that 5.5's were the best trail bike you could buy but that they were 'flexy'.
This was 'a good thing' but is normally 'a bad thing' when describing bikes, what that all about?
Also maybe this is why they crack?
