Commencal Absolut SX – Exclusive Wideopen sneak peak…
There’s a lot of new goodies on the horizon from Commencal. They’ve already announced a Carbon version of the Meta, there’s also the new ‘Babylon’ street bike and there’s an official launch event due for World Cup weekend in Andorra next month to show off the rest of it all.
After a couple of emails back and forth to our mates at UK Commencal distro Madison I came home to this little beauty. Yep, another brand new bike for 2010 and another Commencal that’s aimed at having a LOT of fun with. Introducing the Commencal Absolute SX. It’s obviously still in its early stages but here’s what we’ve got so far…
Straight from Commencal…
“The bike has been designed with Slopestyle in mind. But due the 140mm of travel and the air shock it’s more versatile than it looks, that’s why we called him Absolut SX because the bike can ride on short downhill and not too bumpy (like you may have in UK ? We have some kind of tracks like this near Paris). It could be a perfect bike for tracks like A-Line and Dirt Merchant in Whistler and rides bike parks, dirt Jumps ….”
Maybe a great bike for bashing around the woods at spots like Chicksands or a great mini-DH race bike?
