The reason it's so slack is they have the wrong size shock on it, it's a 8.75 when the frame is designed for a 9.5... I'm def. diggin' the graphics, but I hafta say the '08s def. are more prettier.. it looks like they took the old design and just mounted the shock lower for a lower center of gravity.. rear end looks very similar to the 08s..
check it:
first of all this is the prototype of the bikes that Aherton's bro's gonna ride this seasons, the one who is actualy the right 09 commencal production bike, is Cedric Gracia's bike... he was actualy riding it at the end of last season and this season in a green color, 2 guys already have a chance to have them for this upcoming season in Switzerland.. im gonna have a chance to ride the bike during mid summer when my friend gonna come down here... cant wait to try the bike, supposly it eats rockgarden better than the old design...
The guys at TractionMag are going to be getting two prototypes in a few weeks. I am going to try and sweet talk them into letting me take it for a spin, and get some pics of it. I rode the 08 model and really liked it so I am interested in seeing this one up close.
yeah i was thinking the same thing. low slung shocks seems to be the thing.
