Commencal recently launched their 2009 bike line up at the Andorra World Cup. Pinkbike.com was lucky enough to have a highly secretive spy in the area at the time that managed to snap some pictures.
So check out what we had to see, and what Commencal has to offer for 2009.

wow looking good commencal, little early isnt it? also those 2009 marzoccis look sick imo! "trekrules" dont know what youre on about!
i'm talking about the new grafics on the marzocchi forks,they are hidious and still i like the 08 better but the 07 are the best.Still love marzocchi forks

its actually lower than the 2008 bike, because it is straight it may appear that it isn't but beleive me I've ridden the 2009 and its lower
the best grafics are the 2007 marzocchi,i agree those grafhics on the new marzocchi are bud ugly.Still the forks are the bomb
at least Fox keeps their grafix sleek and good looking. Marzocchi's new decals do look good on other bikes though, Im just not feeling them here

gotta love commencal,awsome graphics and design, but i prefered the look of the previous dh bike, but then again the new one is suposed to be alot better...

The best commencal paint jobs are the ones on the 08 VIP frames but the 09 paint jobs are still awesome
Those bikes are mint! Oh and incase you missed it - they just got 3 gold medals in the World Cup at the weekend, piloted by Gee, Dan and Rach Atherton. They must be good!!

Looking forward to seeing the prices. They have always made great bikes, but I need both my kidneys, so can't afford to sell one.
Anyone else think the furious paint job looks very like the Darren Berrecloth Sx Trail from a few years ago? Still v slick tho!

looks so nice. wish I had the money for one of those freeride bikes, and that I didn't live in Illinois.
so far my prediction is right, were going back in time! love the vibrant colours. the absolut is looking sick, i like the green one 
keep up the great work!
keep up the great work!
don't forget CG he's pinning it to the max just like the Athertons.Good year for the whole Commencal factory team and the season has just started.

that bike is $599cdn retail, and for that kind of money if you put disc brakes on a bike it means somewhere else the money has to be saved. Commencal is 100% behind building the best frames possible and that means putting more money into frames at this price point.
I don't like the colours but that's superficial and can easily be changed. For me function comes first, and on the new Supreme DH the Athertons were 10 seconds faster on Commencal's two and half minute test track in Andorra, and pretty much dominated the Andorran World Cup.
I can't certainly argue with Max Commencal's track record so I don't see any reason why I shouldn't have one of these bikes.
Ah, 2009. Another year of ever more debt!!

Too bad none of the listed Commencal "dealers" in Toronto actually have any in stock to look at. Anyone know of any north american online retailers?
