COMMENÇAL HISTORY... The Commencal Story isn't so easy to tell... But I'll give it a try! To be able to talk about the history of COMMENCAL, you have to look back to the past... You have to look at the an era when mountain-biking did not yet exist, you have to think of a Dream Team that brought home no less than 70 World Championship titles, you have to think about all the pioneering thinkers that created history and legends. I single-handedly created the SUNN brand, building it up over 16 years, living an intense experience, and I have only but the greatest of memories of that time. But that is all in the past now, and those adventures are really a long way away! In the end the Story is only interesting if it allows you to build the future, especially in our world, which constantly looks forward and tirelessly at rendering obsolete what has just been created! COMMENCAL's history starts in 2000. A new century, new aspirations, and renewed technology... Straight away, it seems that a mystical force wants to boost the Brand. The first bike will bear the unforgettable name of "Supernormal". And the story of this bike is a legend in itself! How do you, in the shortest space of time possible, think up a bike that needs little investment (we're not rich)? How do you get it out on the market (we have little time)? How do you make sure that the rider has everything that they need, everything that is useful, or necessary? Put simply, by returning to the roots of riding, not thinking about flashy sophistication, but keeping only what is essential. This particular way of thinking is in the bike, and its simplicity makes it unusually modern. From its launch, the bike seems so "normal" and so "super" that it conquers the hearts of its riders, specialist bike shops and the press. It is even voted Mountain Bike of the Year by Vélo Vert Magazine. And to top it all off, it wins its first race (the Roc d'Azur, with 10 000 participants) at the hands of Christophe Dupouy in the Elite Class! History is definitely in the making... In 2001, it's the arrival of the DOCTOR. A light dual-susser, modern, comfortable, easy, where everything falls to hand. Sure, by today’s' standards, it looks fragile and obsolete, but back then it was pure pleasure... From our office, we can see the ski slopes and the mountains so well, it seems obvious that we cannot be a brand like any other. The spirit is present, the motivation is unyielding, and the surrounding playground a godsend. In 2002, the PASTA shows up. Strange name for a bike… But a new way to ride is appearing. No longer is a MTB made just to advance, to wander, to stay fit... we ride to have fun, to slide, to jump! Pure performance takes a back seat! We're looking for a bike that has an upright position, with a travel adjust fork to better adapt to the terrain we’re riding on the day. VTT magazine even says "why didn't we think of this before?!" 2002 is also the year that Andorra and the Pal Arinsal (now known as VALLNORD) ski station decides to work with us to organize the MAXI AVALANCHE. With Georges EDWARDS, the legendary organizer of the MEGAVALANCHE series held at the Alpes d'Huez and the island of La Réunion, Andorra makes its name as THE riding area of the Pyrenees. In 2003, it's the turn of the PASTA POWER to make an appearance. Double suspension, loads of travel (at the time), the art of "savoir faire" and an indisputable character! We don't quite know how to ride Free Ride, but we know that the PASTA POWER will be the ideal tool to learn on, to forgive the unavoidable errors of a beginner and to dream of the mountain slopes! There is irresistibility about it... and it is an immediate success! Anne Caroline CHAUSSON joins the team, and she offers the Brand and the PASTA POWER its first 4X World Championship title. The future SUPREME DH is being developed with Olivier BOSSARD (BOS Engineering) and an Anne Caroline who is flying through the world downhill scene. 2004 is the start of the internationalization of the Brand. It is also the OXBOW year. This famous surf wear brand decides to give believe in us and support us with a big budget that allows us to create a team of first rate ambassadors. Miguel MARTINEZ, Franck PAROLIN, Bernat GUARDIA, Romain SALADINI, Titou PICARD join Anne Caroline CHAUSSON to scour the trails and sweep up the titles! And off we go for two years of the Continental Circus... Alongside all the marketing, it is a year of investment so as to present an entirely revamped range the following year. The team riders are an integral part of the development process. Romain SALADINI ends up being Junior World Downhill Champion on the SUPREME DH. In 2005 we see the arrival of the new META frame, the jewel of the range for a while to come. Years later the UK press will even class it as one of the past decades 10 best bikes, all categories combined. It is the ultimate accolade! Also arriving on the scene are the two SUPREME frames. Downhill and Free Ride are no longer the reserve of the Team riders. The magazine tests are very flattering, and the Brand clearly shouts out its mountain heritage, alongside its will to promote user-friendliness and the pure pleasure of riding. Once again, success is immediate! Two new riders join the Brand: Roger RINDERKNECHT comes to work on the new Absolut frames, Rémy ABSALON comes to perfect the image of the METAs and Julien CAMELLINI joins the downhillers. Rémy wins the mythical MEGA at the island of La Réunion, and will be crowned European marathon Downhill Champion. Anne Caroline will once again pick up a Downhill World Champion title! 2006: The Brand becomes more and more international, to the point that French sales, although constantly progressing, are overtaken by foreign buyers. No less than 30 countries import our bikes, directly from Taiwan where they are assembled. This year also sees the arrival of one of the most media-friendly, most loved, most famous mountain-bike riders, Mr Cedric GRACIA. Having started with me 20 years ago as a little kid, he comes to us after many years in the US. He is one of the only riders to excel at downhill, 4X and Free Ride. His "aura" and notoriety are such that the Brand immediately benefits from recognition and respect around the world. We're starting to play with the big-hitters... The team is now centred on CG. Alongside him are Romain SALADINI, Rémy ABSALON and Anne Caroline CHAUSSON. Our image is clear, strong, and serene... The 2007 catalogue is probably one of the most beautiful in the history of mountain-biking. Photos, ambiance, bikes, everything is magnificent. Cédric GRACIA just makes you want to get out and ride, and our UK distributor happens to go out and recruit three of the hottest riders of the moment! Imagine two brothers and a sister who just happen to be three of the best downhillers in the world. Their own story is fairytale stuff, and the worlds press revel in narrating their adventures. Team ANIMAL/COMMENCAL is created... another bit of high-quality visibility for the Brand. The bike range evolves, being refined, and getting prettier. Mountain-biking has definitely changed. We know what we want! Ski resorts professionalize their infrastructures, and the "amateur" aspect seen in the beginning is now in the past. A new page is being written. Business-wise, the ABSOLUT range beats sales records, and the "Maxmax" concept only goes and pushes the boundaries of convention! COMMENCAL has found a way to be present at entry-level, while still keeping its magic, its exclusivity, its quality... By taking a high-quality frame, and building it up with the basic necessities, we are left only with the essential. What about the rest? Well, that will be up to each riders desires and abilities! Sound familiar? Now there's an idea that is not so far away from what enabled COMMENCAL to return to the front of the scene in 2000!

How do you, in the shortest space of time possible, think up a bike that needs little investment (we're not rich)? How do you get it out on the market (we have little time)? How do you make sure that the rider has everything that they need, everything that is useful, or necessary? Put simply, by returning to the roots of riding, not thinking about flashy sophistication, but keeping only what is essential. This particular way of thinking is in the bike, and its simplicity makes it unusually modern. From its launch, the bike seems so "normal" and so "super" that it conquers the hearts of its riders, specialist bike shops and the press. It is even voted Mountain Bike of the Year by Vélo Vert Magazine. And to top it all off, it wins its first race (the Roc d'Azur, with 10 000 participants) at the hands of Christophe Dupouy in the Elite Class! History is definitely in the making... In 2001, it's the arrival of the DOCTOR. A light dual-susser, modern, comfortable, easy, where everything falls to hand. Sure, by today’s' standards, it looks fragile and obsolete, but back then it was pure pleasure... From our office, we can see the ski slopes and the mountains so well, it seems obvious that we cannot be a brand like any other. The spirit is present, the motivation is unyielding, and the surrounding playground a godsend. In 2002, the PASTA shows up. Strange name for a bike… But a new way to ride is appearing. No longer is a MTB made just to advance, to wander, to stay fit... we ride to have fun, to slide, to jump! Pure performance takes a back seat! We're looking for a bike that has an upright position, with a travel adjust fork to better adapt to the terrain we’re riding on the day. VTT magazine even says "why didn't we think of this before?!" 2002 is also the year that Andorra and the Pal Arinsal (now known as VALLNORD) ski station decides to work with us to organize the MAXI AVALANCHE. With Georges EDWARDS, the legendary organizer of the MEGAVALANCHE series held at the Alpes d'Huez and the island of La Réunion, Andorra makes its name as THE riding area of the Pyrenees. In 2003, it's the turn of the PASTA POWER to make an appearance. Double suspension, loads of travel (at the time), the art of "savoir faire" and an indisputable character! We don't quite know how to ride Free Ride, but we know that the PASTA POWER will be the ideal tool to learn on, to forgive the unavoidable errors of a beginner and to dream of the mountain slopes! There is irresistibility about it... and it is an immediate success! Anne Caroline CHAUSSON joins the team, and she offers the Brand and the PASTA POWER its first 4X World Championship title. The future SUPREME DH is being developed with Olivier BOSSARD (BOS Engineering) and an Anne Caroline who is flying through the world downhill scene. 2004 is the start of the internationalization of the Brand. It is also the OXBOW year. This famous surf wear brand decides to give believe in us and support us with a big budget that allows us to create a team of first rate ambassadors. Miguel MARTINEZ, Franck PAROLIN, Bernat GUARDIA, Romain SALADINI, Titou PICARD join Anne Caroline CHAUSSON to scour the trails and sweep up the titles! And off we go for two years of the Continental Circus... Alongside all the marketing, it is a year of investment so as to present an entirely revamped range the following year. The team riders are an integral part of the development process. Romain SALADINI ends up being Junior World Downhill Champion on the SUPREME DH. In 2005 we see the arrival of the new META frame, the jewel of the range for a while to come. Years later the UK press will even class it as one of the past decades 10 best bikes, all categories combined. It is the ultimate accolade! Also arriving on the scene are the two SUPREME frames. Downhill and Free Ride are no longer the reserve of the Team riders. The magazine tests are very flattering, and the Brand clearly shouts out its mountain heritage, alongside its will to promote user-friendliness and the pure pleasure of riding. Once again, success is immediate! Two new riders join the Brand: Roger RINDERKNECHT comes to work on the new Absolut frames, Rémy ABSALON comes to perfect the image of the METAs and Julien CAMELLINI joins the downhillers. Rémy wins the mythical MEGA at the island of La Réunion, and will be crowned European marathon Downhill Champion. Anne Caroline will once again pick up a Downhill World Champion title! 2006: The Brand becomes more and more international, to the point that French sales, although constantly progressing, are overtaken by foreign buyers. No less than 30 countries import our bikes, directly from Taiwan where they are assembled. This year also sees the arrival of one of the most media-friendly, most loved, most famous mountain-bike riders, Mr Cedric GRACIA. Having started with me 20 years ago as a little kid, he comes to us after many years in the US. He is one of the only riders to excel at downhill, 4X and Free Ride. His "aura" and notoriety are such that the Brand immediately benefits from recognition and respect around the world. We're starting to play with the big-hitters... The team is now centred on CG. Alongside him are Romain SALADINI, Rémy ABSALON and Anne Caroline CHAUSSON. Our image is clear, strong, and serene... The 2007 catalogue is probably one of the most beautiful in the history of mountain-biking. Photos, ambiance, bikes, everything is magnificent. Cédric GRACIA just makes you want to get out and ride, and our UK distributor happens to go out and recruit three of the hottest riders of the moment! Imagine two brothers and a sister who just happen to be three of the best downhillers in the world. Their own story is fairytale stuff, and the worlds press revel in narrating their adventures. Team ANIMAL/COMMENCAL is created... another bit of high-quality visibility for the Brand. The bike range evolves, being refined, and getting prettier. Mountain-biking has definitely changed. We know what we want! Ski resorts professionalize their infrastructures, and the "amateur" aspect seen in the beginning is now in the past. A new page is being written. Business-wise, the ABSOLUT range beats sales records, and the "Maxmax" concept only goes and pushes the boundaries of convention! COMMENCAL has found a way to be present at entry-level, while still keeping its magic, its exclusivity, its quality... By taking a high-quality frame, and building it up with the basic necessities, we are left only with the essential. What about the rest? Well, that will be up to each riders desires and abilities! Sound familiar? Now there's an idea that is not so far away from what enabled COMMENCAL to return to the front of the scene in 2000!
COMMENÇAL HISTORY... The Commencal Story isn't so easy to tell... But I'll give it a try! To be able to talk about the history of COMMENCAL, you have to look back to the past... You have to look at the an era when mountain-biking did not yet exist, you have to think of a Dream Team that brought home no less than 70 World Championship titles, you have to think about all the pioneering thinkers that created history and legends. I single-handedly created the SUNN brand, building it up over 16 years, living an intense experience, and I have only but the greatest of memories of that time. But that is all in the past now, and those adventures are really a long way away! In the end the Story is only interesting if it allows you to build the future, especially in our world, which constantly looks forward and tirelessly at rendering obsolete what has just been created!

COMMENÇAL 2008 - MAX COMMENCAL...

2008 :  We're starting to see some impressive numbers, with more then 20 000 bikes produced.   One of the important things for a brand is its identity, what makes it stand out.

Once again, the 2008 catalog is fantastic!  Competition remains a major part of our communication and development, but other aspirations are starting to take shape...  Absolute performance and reaching a podium is no longer the dominating motivation for riders, many just want to have fun on quality bikes.

Our mountains push us to privilege the joys of riding, and to support the "free" spirit of the downhiller.

Cedric GRACIA, ever more popular, travels around the world, proving that mountain biking really is done on the whole planet!   "The future is having fun, to ride everywhere, to travel" he says, "So much fun to be had on these trips!"   Remy ABSALON takes his META 6 to the Nepalese mountains, Cedric takes his FURIOUS from Brazil to the far flung reaches of the Israeli desert...  The photography is stunning, and we all want to ride, thanks to these two.

At the same time, our english friends, "our" Atherton family, continue to hang out on the podiums.  We love how nice they are, their "Britishness", their sense of humor, their ideas on bikes and life in general.  It is great just to watch them ride, and to have them among us!

2008 also sees the arrival amongst our ranks of a few "special" Canadian riders.  These three adolescent freeriding downhillers are a touch crazy, but then that helps when you are called for duty by the worlds best cinematographers.  Enthusiastic, easy-going, good-humored, they are pretty easy to like!   Our bikes fly with them behind the handlebars!

To finish off this summary of 2008, let's talk a bit about 2009...  For some time now, the R&D department has been preparing our entry into the carbon fiber market.  We have seen the maturing of this noble material, and now is the time to push performance levels even further!  Perfect lines, pure design, absolute beauty, tested & perfected technology... 

Imagine what corss-country could be like, Commencal-style!  There aren't just high mountains in this world of ours...   Could this be the beginning of a new era? 

Max COMMENCAL

In the end the Story is only interesting if it allows you to build the future, especially in our world, which constantly looks forward and tirelessly at rendering obsolete what has just been created! COMMENCAL's history starts in 2000. A new century, new aspirations, and renewed technology... Straight away, it seems that a mystical force wants to boost the Brand. The first bike will bear the unforgettable name of "Supernormal". And the story of this bike is a legend in itself! How do you, in the shortest space of time possible, think up a bike that needs little investment (we're not rich)? How do you get it out on the market (we have little time)? How do you make sure that the rider has everything that they need, everything that is useful, or necessary? Put simply, by returning to the roots of riding, not thinking about flashy sophistication, but keeping only what is essential. This particular way of thinking is in the bike, and its simplicity makes it unusually modern. From its launch, the bike seems so "normal" and so "super" that it conquers the hearts of its riders, specialist bike shops and the press. It is even voted Mountain Bike of the Year by Vélo Vert Magazine. And to top it all off, it wins its first race (the Roc d'Azur, with 10 000 participants) at the hands of Christophe Dupouy in the Elite Class! History is definitely in the making... In 2001, it's the arrival of the DOCTOR. A light dual-susser, modern, comfortable, easy, where everything falls to hand. Sure, by today’s' standards, it looks fragile and obsolete, but back then it was pure pleasure... From our office, we can see the ski slopes and the mountains so well, it seems obvious that we cannot be a brand like any other. The spirit is present, the motivation is unyielding, and the surrounding playground a godsend. In 2002, the PASTA shows up. Strange name for a bike… But a new way to ride is appearing. No longer is a MTB made just to advance, to wander, to stay fit... we ride to have fun, to slide, to jump! Pure performance takes a back seat! We're looking for a bike that has an upright position, with a travel adjust fork to better adapt to the terrain we’re riding on the day. VTT magazine even says "why didn't we think of this before?!" 2002 is also the year that Andorra and the Pal Arinsal (now known as VALLNORD) ski station decides to work with us to organize the MAXI AVALANCHE. With Georges EDWARDS, the legendary organizer of the MEGAVALANCHE series held at the Alpes d'Huez and the island of La Réunion, Andorra makes its name as THE riding area of the Pyrenees. In 2003, it's the turn of the PASTA POWER to make an appearance. Double suspension, loads of travel (at the time), the art of "savoir faire" and an indisputable character! We don't quite know how to ride Free Ride, but we know that the PASTA POWER will be the ideal tool to learn on, to forgive the unavoidable errors of a beginner and to dream of the mountain slopes! There is irresistibility about it... and it is an immediate success! Anne Caroline CHAUSSON joins the team, and she offers the Brand and the PASTA POWER its first 4X World Championship title. The future SUPREME DH is being developed with Olivier BOSSARD (BOS Engineering) and an Anne Caroline who is flying through the world downhill scene. 2004 is the start of the internationalization of the Brand. It is also the OXBOW year. This famous surf wear brand decides to give believe in us and support us with a big budget that allows us to create a team of first rate ambassadors. Miguel MARTINEZ, Franck PAROLIN, Bernat GUARDIA, Romain SALADINI, Titou PICARD join Anne Caroline CHAUSSON to scour the trails and sweep up the titles! And off we go for two years of the Continental Circus... Alongside all the marketing, it is a year of investment so as to present an entirely revamped range the following year. The team riders are an integral part of the development process. Romain SALADINI ends up being Junior World Downhill Champion on the SUPREME DH. In 2005 we see the arrival of the new META frame, the jewel of the range for a while to come. Years later the UK press will even class it as one of the past decades 10 best bikes, all categories combined. It is the ultimate accolade! Also arriving on the scene are the two SUPREME frames. Downhill and Free Ride are no longer the reserve of the Team riders. The magazine tests are very flattering, and the Brand clearly shouts out its mountain heritage, alongside its will to promote user-friendliness and the pure pleasure of riding. Once again, success is immediate! Two new riders join the Brand: Roger RINDERKNECHT comes to work on the new Absolut frames, Rémy ABSALON comes to perfect the image of the METAs and Julien CAMELLINI joins the downhillers. Rémy wins the mythical MEGA at the island of La Réunion, and will be crowned European marathon Downhill Champion. Anne Caroline will once again pick up a Downhill World Champion title! 2006: The Brand becomes more and more international, to the point that French sales, although constantly progressing, are overtaken by foreign buyers. No less than 30 countries import our bikes, directly from Taiwan where they are assembled. This year also sees the arrival of one of the most media-friendly, most loved, most famous mountain-bike riders, Mr Cedric GRACIA. Having started with me 20 years ago as a little kid, he comes to us after many years in the US. He is one of the only riders to excel at downhill, 4X and Free Ride. His "aura" and notoriety are such that the Brand immediately benefits from recognition and respect around the world. We're starting to play with the big-hitters... The team is now centred on CG. Alongside him are Romain SALADINI, Rémy ABSALON and Anne Caroline CHAUSSON. Our image is clear, strong, and serene... The 2007 catalogue is probably one of the most beautiful in the history of mountain-biking. Photos, ambiance, bikes, everything is magnificent. Cédric GRACIA just makes you want to get out and ride, and our UK distributor happens to go out and recruit three of the hottest riders of the moment! Imagine two brothers and a sister who just happen to be three of the best downhillers in the world. Their own story is fairytale stuff, and the worlds press revel in narrating their adventures. Team ANIMAL/COMMENCAL is created... another bit of high-quality visibility for the Brand. The bike range evolves, being refined, and getting prettier. Mountain-biking has definitely changed. We know what we want! Ski resorts professionalize their infrastructures, and the "amateur" aspect seen in the beginning is now in the past. A new page is being written. Business-wise, the ABSOLUT range beats sales records, and the "Maxmax" concept only goes and pushes the boundaries of convention! COMMENCAL has found a way to be present at entry-level, while still keeping its magic, its exclusivity, its quality... By taking a high-quality frame, and building it up with the basic necessities, we are left only with the essential. What about the rest? Well, that will be up to each riders desires and abilities! Sound familiar? Now there's an idea that is not so far away from what enabled COMMENCAL to return to the front of the scene in 2000!
COMMENÇAL HISTORY... The Commencal Story isn't so easy to tell... But I'll give it a try! To be able to talk about the history of COMMENCAL, you have to look back to the past... You have to look at the an era when mountain-biking did not yet exist, you have to think of a Dream Team that brought home no less than 70 World Championship titles, you have to think about all the pioneering thinkers that created history and legends. I single-handedly created the SUNN brand, building it up over 16 years, living an intense experience, and I have only but the greatest of memories of that time. But that is all in the past now, and those adventures are really a long way away! In the end the Story is only interesting if it allows you to build the future, especially in our world, which constantly looks forward and tirelessly at rendering obsolete what has just been created!

Avec la gamme COMMENCAL 2009, entrez dans une nouvelle ère ! Tout d’abord, l’ère du carbone avec l’arrivée du SKIN, notre nouveau semi-rigide très haut de gamme de XC. Il repousse encore les limites de la performance en mariant notre géométrie si unique, à un poids et un rendement jamais encore atteints! Les quelques chanceux qui ont eu l’occasion de piloter les prototypes du SKIN en course, les ont déjà menés sur les plus hautes marches des podiums ! En complément du Skin, le Super 4, notre nouveau vélo de XC Marathon, vient compléter la gamme. Ce cadre à été développé autour d’une évolution de notre célèbre Contact System, pour d’avantage de rendement et de nervosité. Le Super 4 rassemble toute notre expérience et notre amour du Mountain Bike, afin de faire de lui la nouvelle référence du marché pour le XC Marathon ! Dans un registre plus engagé, nous avons entièrement renouvelé nos cadres de la gamme Suprême. Leur nouvelle construction plus compacte, avec un centre de gravité abaissé et un Contact System entièrement revu, offrent encore plus d’adhérence et de débattement. Ces cadres ont été développés pour dominer le monde de la descente. Attention, ils vont faire des envieux dans les paddocks !Nos best-sellers, les Meta 55 et Meta 6, unanimement plébiscités dans le monde entier, ne sont pas en reste ! Ils reçoivent un nouveau triangle avant, plus compact avec des tubes redessinés, un nouvel ensemble biellette basculeur plus rigide, ce qui rend la suspension arrière encore plus efficace. La cinématique du Meta 6 a également été revue, et un gros travail a été effectué sur le setting de l’amortisseur, ce qui permettra à coup sûr à notre Meta 6 de conserver son titre de champion d’Europe de Descente Marathon aux mains de Rémy ABSALON !Enfin, des Absolut au Furious, en passant par les Normal et Combi, chaque cadre a reçu des améliorations et chaque détail a été revu pour rendre ces vélos plus fiables, plus performants et encore plus amusants à piloter. En 2009, on vous attend encore plus nombreux sur les chemins pour tester nos Super Vélos !!
