[Closed] Bravo Max and the folks at Commencal! - The return of proper sidewalls!

Absolutely gorgeous bikes. Myself and two mates were lucky enough to get shown around the Commencal offices a few weeks back while riding at Vallnord and got shown all those prototypes and the 2013 range.

The Meta SX is one great looking bike and I would love to replace my current 160mm bike with it.
Only things that put me off are...

#Yellow
#Can't fit a coil shock, not enough clearance.
#Shock guard is a bit of an afterthought (maybe after Dirt etc criticised it.)
#I have no money....

Apart from that, they really are looking fantastic. Saw loads of them in Sauze d'oulx at the Superenduro.

Proper tyres are black!

FTFY 😉

If you had pizza at the Orso Bianco, I may just have to hunt you down and kill you! 😉

The Meta SX is lovely looking, but I agree about the shock "cover".

Have owned a Ramones 1 for a couple of years now, great bike goes well

How so?
I didn't incidentally... 🙂

Kayak, it's home to possibly the finest pizza in the world. Top spot!

Damn, I missed that one! 🙁

Up at Sportinia, above the main village. You missed out...!

I assume you also had the steak at the Village? If you didn't, you really missed the best bits of Sauze!

I really want one of the Ramones 1's. Wanted one since they first came out but still waiting for the missus to take the hint. 😉

Was it veggie steak? Missed out otherwise 🙂
Awesome place though. Will defo go back and get that pizza.

Back on topic meanwhile, Commencal have got things dialled this year. The blokes there expressed regret over losing the Athertons too....and told us Cedric was doing ok...

Two thousand quid for a bike with RST forks. My word.

At last! Proper tyres are back!
