Review: Commencal Supreme 1

2009 Commencal Supreme 1

We’ve had some time on the 2009 Commencal Supreme 1 that replaces their Mini-DH from 2008.  Take a look at what we thought about it inside.

[Commencal Supreme Racing 1 Review]

    Very good reply! Thanx a lot!

    I am going to buy a supreme 2009 and want to ride it with my Marzocchi 66 from 2006 with 170mm and ETA.
    Which headtube sleeve would you recommend to use? I’m not sure if it’s better to use the 0° or the -1° head angle setting.

  • I would try it out with the 0 degree first. If you find it is not slack enough you can put the black sleeve in there and turn it to -1, or if it feels too slack for your riding tastes then you can turn the black sleeve 180 degress and get a +1.

  • Good review, but you missed something really obvious. Sunline makes those grips in a baby blue color that would have matched the frame. Other than that, keep up the good work.

  • Hmm, price seems a little steep for a full kit, but the frame price isn’t too bad. I think this might be my next frame.

  • How would this hold up as a “big”, “do-all” bike as in drops, jumps, resort/shuttle rides, etc?

    ….and yes, I did read the review ;)

    Looks perfect for me…

  • It isn’t a “big” bike but it is capable of doing resorts just fine along with drops / shuttle / jumps.

  • Yes, I understand that — sorry if I worded that wrong…just looking for something more forgiving than my 5.5″ Bottlerocket for lift/shuttle runs while still being playful and responsive.

    Thanks for the reply!

  • Yea gotcha. It is more forgiving than the BR for lift/shuttle runs and is still pretty playful and responsive.

  • Thanks for the input!…I have many frames to consider in the next year or so…

  • can i fit boxxer 200mm to my supreme racing?
