ABSOLUT-CHROMO
COMMENCAL ABSOLUT – The CrMo is the most street- and dirt-specific bike in the Absolut range. You can ride it around town, launch dirt jumps or maneuver around a skatepark, then take it straight to the World Cup 4 Cross checkers.

COMBI-DELUXE

COMMENCAL COBI DELUXE: Due to overwhelming demand, the Combi platform will once again report for duty in 2009 Commencal catalog. It is the rugged adventurer of our group in the hardtail range.

FURIOUS-GC

COMMENCAL FURIOUS – The Furious was created by Cedric Gracia. It is named after Cedric Gracia’s marketing agency, Furious Agency. It weighs in at 3.7kg/37kg (without shock), making it one of the most lightweight 7 travel frames available.

META55-2

COMMENCAL META5.5: The Meta5.5 is our most versatile bike in 2009. This 14 cm suspension bike was designed for all-mountain riders. It has won numerous races in Enduro and Marathon Downhill.

META6-3

COMMENCAL META6: Remy Absalon rode the Meta 6 to win the European Marathon Downhill Championship title.

NORMAL-DISC

COMMENCAL NORMAL DESC: We have decided to improve our Normal hardtail line for 2009. Their fun factor has been growing by drastically sloping their top tube, reducing height of the seat tube and significantly lowering the standover.

SKIN-1

COMMENCALSKIN: The Skin is a high-end, cross-country bike. The Skin’s shape was designed to reflect the specific characteristics of carbon fiber. Its uncomplicated, pure carbon fiber structure gives it exceptional performance.

SUPER4.3

COMMENCAL SUPER4.3 – This bike is the most economical version of our 10 cm marathon XC platform. Two closed triangles form the front triangle of Super 4, which is a measure of reliability and rigidity.

SUPERNORMAL

COMMENCAL SUPERNORMAL – The Supernormal is our first sport bike. It was fresh out of its crate and won Roc dAzur in 2000. Since then, it has remained in our lineup as a lightweight, reliable, and comfortable bike to ride singletrack around the world.

SUPREME-1

COMMENCAL SUPREME – The 2008 Mini DH was replaced by the 16 cm Supreme bike line. It shares the same genetics as the 2009 Supreme DH. It has the Contact System rear suspension with a lower center of gravity and a steeper top tube.

SUPREME.DH-TEAM
COMMENCAL SUPREME DDH TEAM: The all-new Supreme DH Commencal has a 24 cm longer shock that provides 20 cm of rear wheel travel. The width of the bottom bracket has been increased from 68mm up to 83mm. The new tubeset has been rearranged to lower the top tube and lower all center of gravity by 1/8 inch.
