Best suited to
Trail riders after the lightest Commencal e-MTB at the lowest current price.
Standout strength
About 20kg for a full-suspension 29er e-MTB with FOX suspension.
The main compromise
400Wh battery and 60 Nm motor, and only sizes M and L were in stock.
Consider something else if
You want full-power help on long climbs; the Bosch SX and 400Wh battery trade range for low weight.
Check before you buy
Confirm the final price at checkout, since Commencal's page code labels its shown prices as excluding GST, and ask Commencal Australia where the drive system is serviced near you.
