The French town of Orbey in the Vosges mountains was the location for Commençal's 2012 mountain bike launch. Following on from last year's release of the Meta AM, this year sees an expansion of the Meta range, including a new 120mm-travel trail bike and 29er.
Developments have also been made to Commençal's 'gravity' range, with a new Supreme FR being revealed along with updates to the Supreme DH v3. More news about the bikes will be coming next week. For now, take a look at our image gallery for a sneak peek at what's to come.
