Kilmė

The Supreme DH debuted in 2005, the same year Anne-Caroline Chausson took a World Championship title on it — an extraordinary debut for a brand barely five years old. The V5 (2023) was three years in the making with Commencal's race team, introducing the HVCS high-pivot system designed to give the bike the anti-squat characteristics of a high-pivot layout without the idler pulley drag penalty.

−Trūkumai

220mm travel and full DH spec makes it impractical for anything other than lift-served or shuttle riding
Heavy at ~15.5–16 kg — even by DH standards
High pivot HVCS can feel active/restless to riders accustomed to more passive DH suspensions
