The best thing about Direct Sales brands is that they offer such good value for money compared to the big brands.

Potentially a hot take, but I see Commencal as one of the direct sales brands that is actually putting in r&d. Sure you can get a yt capra for a phenomenal price, but it’s been the same frame for years. They ride fine, but a meta v5 rides significantly better. Now obviously there’s modern bikes for better deals probably, but as long as you don’t get a cracked frame, the ride quality of the bike is worth it.

Why not creating an event for down & outgoing old farts like me who have been dreaming their entire life of doing a backflip (pushing my boundary) in front of my kids and grand kids.

I hope that their criteria to select athletes is better than Orbeas in Pinkbike academy.

Commencal is becoming the coolest bike brand.

Becoming???!
Max and Co. have been at the leading of edge of rider development for decades. Anyone remember CG and his young guns? Howie is still with the brand!
Considering their World Cup team has 3 top five athletes as well as several other UCI teams riding their frames I would find it difficult to find a brand that has even close to the impact on gravity MTB they have.

Kudos to Commencal. STILL doing all the right things.

Didn't they just drop all their freeride athletes to favor racing in 2023?

Corporate strategy 101: fire one seasoned veteran, hire several young guys to do his job and then some for lower combined wage.

Ah shit. They didn't get the memo. Karen's gonna need the phone number of the Manager at Commencal to complain about lack of ladies.
