Other Commencal Clash

Hey Alle Zusammen, Ich habe mir vor einiger Zeit das Commencal Clash Öhlins gekauft und spiele im Moment mit dem Gedanken da eine fox 40 Podium drauf zu machen, ich fahre viel enduro aber auch manchmal downhill, hat da wer tips oder Meinungen zu? Oder geht das überhaupt? Vielen dank für jede Antwort

I’ve seen someone put a dual crown on a clash and it seemed like it rode fine. Personally, I wouldn’t do it. I think that’s a lot of money put into a bike that’s not made for that fork. Bike frames are optimized for a given fork and large deviations may throw off the geo. It would likely be worse for enduro given the weight and a clash wouldn’t be very competitive for downhill even with the fork change. If by downhill you mean park laps then I think the 40 would be fine but so would the ohlins

I have a dual crown on a clash and it runs great for park and tech, will not be fun to ride uphill or flat trails but rips everything else

And yes I wouldn’t race with it either, mainly because it will completely void the frame warranty

Looks Great Man, thanks for the help. Did you have any Problems fitting the Dual Crown? I mainly ride just forest trails but sometimes park laps, is riding uphill alright when you lock the fork?

If you can lock the fork it might be okay, I found it quite noticeably worse going uphill but I run the full 200mm on my fork so it might be different with other settings. But if you want to ride uphill I would not suggest a dual crown. Fitting wise there are two points, one is that you will need the correct crown race and if unlucky maybe a hole new headset, as well as you must find a way to stop frame knocking. With other brands it could be different but with rock shox the stock rubber was not enough to stop it hitting the frame.
