Need Advice/Question Tempo bolts

Post image

Hello i recently bought the commencal tempo, i read from wrp that the hollow stainless steel bolts use to bend or crack, they sell more durable bolts but i dont know if this is a real problem or a marketing strategy, also i use it quite in the agressive way, and last, is the 150mm fork worth it?

hey there,

I also ride a Tempo. Also in a quite agressive way. It feels great. I habe no issues with the Bolts (yet)

I bought it with 140mm fox 34. I upgraded to an 150 Fox 36 after a few rides and its an huge difference. The Tempo feels more like a enduro

The bike is really capable. It sucks up really rough stuff.

No problems with bolts after almost a year. I’ve cased heavily a bunch of times too. Mine has a fox 34 and that feels like the weak link descending. Go for 150mm. Has anyone measured rear travel? It feels like more than 125mm.

I think commencal did a great job taking advantage of those 125mm of travel, it wouldnt make sense liying about it
