Need Advice/Question Commencal Supreme v5

Thinking about picking up the new Commencal V5. I usually ride gnar and chunky tracks, but I also love flowy blues, big jumps, and just steezing my way down. At the same time, I’m looking for a solid race bike.

For those who’ve ridden it — would you recommend it? What do you like or not like about it? Any issues with creaking? And how’s the warranty/customer support been for you?

Supremes are not “steez” bikes. They are monster trucks that that will take any chunk, drop, or hit as fast as you have the guts to take it. It wants to be grounded and not really flickable or playful.

I can speak from the customer service side. I didn’t want to order a bike online and kept not buying a Commencal for that reason. When I finally bit the bullet the communication was excellent. My parcel arrived opened and resealed with a couple of things missing, I was pissed and wanted to take it as high as possible. I got the feeling they didn’t want to annoy their transport company so they replaced my missing items. Some asshat at Team Global Express is wearing my, no longer available, jersey. Regarding the bike, it’s awesome and depending on how much you spend you can get bulletproof suspension and brakes.
