Not all of us have access to uplifts and most of us want to push the limits every time we throw a leg over. The Supreme SX is a perfectly crafted, HPP inspired, engine-less machine that's capable of just that. Getting you to the top of those big lines by pedal-power alone and most importantly, getting you to the bottom with a big smile on your face.

We paired our new beast of a bike with the man-beast that is Yoann Barelli so (low) kick back and get as stoked as he is about it!

 There was a guy in front of me in line at Whistler this past weekend, who had this guy's name on the back of his jersey, along with a funny accent...maybe was him.

 LBS's pay attention. Start giving your bike brand reps the gears!! Take a look at what Commencal offer. YT. I am starting to look for a new bike for next year and none of the local boys can hold a candle to the value I would get from a Commencal. I would like another Norco Sight or a new RM Altitude, but a Meta AM 4.2 with the essential build is only a hair more. I could swap parts and sell current bike and recoup a nice chunk of the purchase price. Manufacturers need to pull their heads out of their asses!

 Meant to say the meta am 4.2 essential build is slightly more than just the frame and shock of the norco or rocky mountain.

 LBS have little to worry about when it comes to Commencal. Don't forget French LBS still call Commencal "Commence Mal". Which means Starts badly in english. Until the Meta v3, their bikes were plagued with issues ... real issues.

 Interesting choice to spec Guide RE instead of Code
  • 11 1
 if i understand right the guide re is a code caliper with guide lever.
  • 8 0
 Guide RE's are just guide levers to code calipers. AKA what a bunch of the DH pros were running. Good set of brakes at a great price point. They are on my Commencal Furious and I'm digging them.
  • 7 2
 RE aren't Guide R for Ebikes?
  • 5 1
 @fracasnoxteam: they are. but what makes them "e-bike specific" is the heavier code caliper.

 Would like to know how that linkage works?
Or how good it works, would do really!
  • 5 0
 The rear tri pulls on the link arm that is connected to the rocker that drives the shock.

In terms of the classic 4 bar rocker ala Trek/Transition/Norco the link arm that pulls the rocker is like the seatstays pushing the rocker in the classic set up.

The only thing going on here that is a but unique is the pull instead of push. The pull point is in front of the rocker link pivot point.
  • 3 0
 Also forgot to add this should be a straight progressive leverage curve as is the case with most classic rocker link bikes. Easy to get progressiveness needed to properly run a coil.
