Commencal Supreme FR

[twelve02]

Hey All,

I'm seriously considering buying a 2012 or 2013 Commencal Supreme FR. The problem is, there are no dealers in the Los Angeles area to demo. I was wondering how many people out there actually have an FR and what their thoughts are of them? I've heard great things about them and would love to try one before I buy.

Is there anyone in the LA / San Diego area that has one that I might be able to hop on one and take for a spin to at least get a look at the frame and get a feel for one?

Thanks.

Some bikes you'll never get to test. Sometime you have to evaluate the geo #'s and have faith the the bike Co. I don't think thats hard since your talking about a Commencal.
CRC had some wicked deals on leftover and demo Commencal's last month, I'm sure there gone now.

I've checked out all the numbers and most are very similar to my Giant Reign X that I'm riding now. The major difference is the slacker head tube on the Commencal and the little extra travel. I plan on running an offset headset if the Commencal is too slack, but from what I've read about it, people really seem to like the way it handles. The way I have the Reign built, the weight is very similar so that's not really an issue, though I'd like to knock off a couple pounds if I can.

Thanks for the reply.

The FR version is touted as a mini DH, much like the TR250. I don't think you are going to enjoy pedaling it much since it has a 64deg HA.

Is it his personal bike or the shops?

Thanks.

I just spoke with Steve and he actually has the Meta and not the FR. He did say that the FR is a pretty sick bike and the frame is beautiful, though may be a it too burly for climbing. Thanks for the info.

Have you considered the Meta SX ?

Big Enduro or little DH that can pedal.
