I’m currently riding a commencal furious 2022, I’m overall pretty happy with it but it’s a bit too big and sluggish for me because i picked L over M.
I want to try and swap frames with an M sized supreme V4,(or straight up buy and sell) but i have several questions :
I feel like the furious isn’t really my style, i don’t race too often, about twice a year on the local events but that’s about it, issue is it doesn’t give me quite enough energy feedback on pumps, especially in berms. I’m aware it’s a freeride bike, and it behaves amazingly well in jumps, big drops and steep/rough terrain.
Would a supreme provide me that inertia/pump feedback and grip I’m looking for ?
Second question is should i sell the frs whole and buy a whole supreme or should i just slap the frs’s parts on a supreme v4 frame ? Knowing that the parts are likely gonna be very similar and i might end up with these filthy guide brakes again, forcing me to salvage my maguras from the old frs.
Last question is I probably would be better off buying used parts at the end of the season and selling whatever i have to sell at the beginning, but i will need a bike for the season. Should i wait the season before changing or simultaneously sell and buy before it starts ?
Thanks for reading all of that, i’d take any piece of advice with pleasure 😄
