2027 Commencal Clash V3

The CLASH V3 kinematics offer great sensitivity from the first millimetres of travel: it smooths out brake bumps on worn tracks and provides excellent support on big compressions, making it almost impossible to bottom out. Thanks to our work on the kinematics, you’ll feel like you’re riding without a chain, totally free.

To open up the hardest lines and push your limits, the CLASH V3 is your perfect match: it never backs down, even on a miscalculated landing or with loss of control. The suspension provides unmatched pop, making it unbeatable on technical and steep terrain, as well as in the air.

Riding a CLASH is never insignificant. Reimagine bike park trails, carve lines no one has ever dared to envision, pedal all the way to the top of your favorite spot. Its progressive kinematics smooth out small and mid-sized impacts while delivering more responsiveness. The result: a playful, precise and instinctive bike. Built tougher than ever.

Still as easy to handle, the CLASH V3 benefits from a specifically sloped frame to offer great freedom of movement, both on the ground and in the air. A short wheelbase maximises fun and agility.

The uninterrupted seat tube allows the saddle to be lowered as much as possible and to fit long-travel dropper posts.

It improves clearance and enables free lower body movement. The 27.5 wheels are part of its DNA: agility and ease of use.

Clash Details
• 170/180mm Fork
• 170 mm rear travel
• Frame material: aluminum
• Wheel size: 27.5" (f and r)
• Sizes: S-L
• 63.8° HA / 77.7° SA

2027 Commencal Supreme DH V5.2

The SUPREME DH V5.2 continues its relentless pursuit of one goal: helping riders go faster on the race track.

Developed at the highest level of competition, it evolves with an optimized kinematic design, a redesigned rear triangle and deeper integration.
Every detail has been refined to improve control, precision and speed.
Because development never stops.

HVCS KINEMATICS
The High Virtual Contact System continues to evolve, particularly around the rear triangle. The pivot point located near the rear axle has now moved from the chainstays to the seatstays. A subtle change on paper, but one that delivers significant benefits on the trail: the bike gains responsiveness and acceleration on faster sections while providing greater comfort and control in rough terrain.
This is the essence of HVCS: combining sensations that seem impossible to reconcile.

BRAKING PERFORMANCE
Braking performance has been a major focus of development. The brake caliper is now positioned between the chainstays and seatstays. Combined with the HVCS kinematics, this evolution delivers greater control by keeping the suspension active and limiting weight transfer to the front wheel.
The frame is compatible with rotor sizes from 200 mm to 223 mm to meet the demands of the most challenging tracks.

FRAME PROTECTION
The SUPREME DH V5.2 features a new generation of chainstay and seatstay protectors called “Silent Mode”. The objective is simple: eliminate drivetrain noise as much as possible while reducing chain slap — those impacts against the rear triangle that can affect suspension performance.
These protectors use a dual-density rubber construction with a rigid base and large soft rubber fins for maximum vibration and impact damping.

INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
On the front triangle, cable routing now runs through the head tube. Beyond the cleaner look, this solution allows the use of internal sleeves directly connected to the head tube inserts, making bike maintenance significantly easier, especially during races where every minute counts.
These internal sleeves also improve sealing against water, dust and mud.

COMPATIBILITY
With the adoption of the UDH standard, the SUPREME DH V5.2 is ready for the latest-generation drivetrains and compatible with the newest SRAM groupsets, including the XX DH T-Type.
The lower shock mount area has been redesigned to provide increased clearance and broader compatibility with most modern DH shocks, including the new FOX Float X2.

The SUPREME DH V5.2 retains the adaptable geometry that made the V5 successful and offers multiple frame adjustment options.

Surpeme V5,2 Details
• 27/29" platform
• Aluminum frame
• 63,9° / 64,3° head angle (+ / -0,8°)
• Chainstay length: 442 / 440mm (+ / - 6mm)

• Price: $5,700 - $7,400 USD

Industry Nine's V2 Alloy Rims

Industry Nine has updated its Trail S and Enduro S wheelsets using a redesigned alloy “V2” rim. The Trail S and Enduro S V2 rims continue to use Hollow Bead Wall Technology, but the story is the broader rim edge and wider rim well.

The edge is more blunt than before for increased pinch flat protection, while the wider rim well makes seating tubeless tires easier. It also holds the tire tighter to avoid burping when cornering aggressively. Overall, the V2 S rim series is claimed to be stronger than before.

The Trail S rims are available in 29” diameters and a 28-spoke count only, while the Enduro S come in 27.5 or 29” diameters with 32 holes. Not surprisingly, the Enduro S rim is heavier and wider than the Trail S. Both rims are available in wheelsets or separately.

Trail S V2 rim Details
• Rim diameter: 29” only
• Internal rim dimensions: 28.5mm width, 21mm depth
• Optimized for modern 2.2”–2.5” tires
• Spoke count: 28-hole
• Spoke type: Sapim Race J-bend
• Hydra2 or 1/1 hubset avail.
• Hub type: 6-bolt or Centerlock rotor mount
• Spacing: multiple hub spacing options
• Freehub: HG, MS12, XD, and singlespeed options
• Weight: 510g (wheelsets starting at 1870g)
• Price: $745-945 USD
• More info: industrynine.com

Enduro S V2 rim Details
• Rim diameters: 27.5” and 29”

Raaw Jibb LT V2.2

The Jibb now comes as LT as standard. With 141 mm of rear wheel travel paired with a 160 mm fork, this setup has proven to suit the Jibb best. For riders over 100 kg, we continue to offer the Rocker 55, which lowers the leverage ratio for improved setup options for heavier riders. This reduces rear wheel travel to 130 mm and is also best combined with a 160 mm fork.
The Jibb LT also receives an update to the dropouts. While the Jibb previously required a choice between UDH compatibility or adjustable chainstay length, the Jibb LT V2.2 now features redesigned dropouts that offer both.

Raaw Jibb LT V2.2 Details
• Material: AL 6066 T6
• Reach: 415mm - 515mm
• HTA: 64°
• Travel: F:160mm, R:141mm
• 29"/27.5"(S) wheels
• 165 / 170 Recommended Crank Length
• 3.9 kg (incl. all hardware, w/o shock, size M)
• Frame only: €2.344,54
• Bikes from: €3.840,34
