Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Mountain Bikes. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Commencal Clash Ride Full Suspension Bike 2021.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Commencal Clash Ride Full Suspension Bike 2021 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Mountain Bikes. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Mountain Bikes. Brands like Commencal are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Mountain Bikes category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.


Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Mountain Bikes.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Commencal Clash Ride Full Suspension Bike (2021)Commencal has reworked the geometry on its Clash models and the Clash Race benefits from this to bring you better handling and control. This is further enhanced by the trail-ready components package, ensuring it’s ready for even the most aggressive downhill, enduro and bike park riders. This full suspension ride boasts a RockShox ZEB fork with a RockShox Super Deluxe Select rear shock to soak u all the big hits, drops and jumps that you encounter on the trails.Commencal Full Suspension Bike with Updated GeometryWith the updated geometry, the uphill riding position is enhanced thanks to an elongated top tube and a straighter seat tube angle. Downhill, the longer reach will bring stability when things speed up, whilst the short stem will ensure a manoeuvrable and playful bike through slower sections. Even if it’s definitely intended for riders of all shapes and sizes (from S to XL), with 27-inch wheels the Clash is a particularly strong option for smaller riders.Adjustable RideThanks to its new kinematics, the Clash feels even more at home on the steepest freeride slopes. Like its big brother the Furious, this updated Clash features a kinematic adjustment. This setting gives priority to either sensitivity (Sensitive) or dynamism (Dynamic). The Sensitive mode is intended for DH/Freeride days when you need that comfort and grip. The Dynamic mode is ideal for smoother tracks or jump sessions with friends for example, when you’re looking for energy and flow.SRAM SX Eagle 12-Speed DrivetrainIn terms of components, Commencal has focused on reliability and ease of use. The quality of the SRAM SX 1×12 speed transmission lives up to expectations and is easy to maintain, plus the 12 speeds can be fully exploited thanks to a large 11-50T cassette. For powerful braking over longer periods of time, the Commencal Clash Ride Full Suspension Bike features SRAM Guide T brakes with 200mm discs.Features: Frame:¬†2021 Clash, 170mm rear travel, 6066 alloy, triple butted T4 and T6 tubes; moulded chainstay, seatstay, and down tube protection (including shuttle guard)Fork: RockShox ZEB,180mm travel, Charger damper, DebonAir spring, rebound adjust, 38mm offset, 38mm stanchions Rear Shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Select, rebound adjust, 230mm x 65mm Headset: ACROS, ZS44 upper, ZS56 lower, alloy cups, sealed bearings Stem: Ride Alpha Freeride 40, 31.8mm bar clamp, 40mm length Handlebar: Ride Alpha R27, 6061 alloy, 27mm rise, 780mm width, 31.8mm clamp diameter Grips: Ride Alpha DH, Ultra-soft compound, single clamp, black Shifters: SRAM SX Eagle, 12-speed Brakes: SRAM Guide T 4-piston, MatchMaker clamps, SRAM G2 Cleansweep 200mm 6-bolt rotors Crankset: SRAM X1 1000 Eagle DUB, 34 tooth, narrow/wide chainring, 170mm length Bottom Bracket: SRAM DUB, 89.5mm press-fit Chain: SRAM NX Eagle, 12-speed Cassette: SRAM SX Eagle PG-1210, 12-speed, 11-50 tooth Rear Derailleur: SRAM SX Eagle, 12-speed ISCG Tabs: Yes, ISCG05 Chainguide: No Rims: E13 LG1 DH Base, 32 hole, 30mm inner width Front Hub: Formula DC-711, 32 hole, sealed bearings, 6-bolt rotor mount, 15x110mm Boost Rear Hub: Formula DC-148A, 32 hole, sealed bearings, 6-bolt rotor mount, 12x148mm Boost with HG driver Spokes: DT Swiss Competition, J-bend, 2.0/1.8/2.0 double butted, stainless steel, with Nylok Front Tyre: Maxxis Assegai, EXO+, 3C, TR, 27.5×2.5" WT Rear Tyre: Maxxis Dissector, EXO+, 3C, TR, 27.5×2.4" WT Saddle: Fabric Scoop Flat Sport, steel rails Seat Post: KS Rage-i dropper 34.9mm, Southpaw alloy remote lever, Drop: 125mm (SM), 150mm (MD), 170mm (LG), 190mm (XL) Seat Post Clamp: Single bolt, 38.5mm Accessories: Down tube protector, Chainstay protector, Seatstay protector, Shuttle pad Warranty: 5 years main frame; 2 years chainstays, suspension "contact system" and Commencal/RIDE ALPHA components; 6 months paint/decals Weight: 15.9kg / 35lbs Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
