Thibaut Ruffin asked us to come check out some new tech on the Commencal DH bikes. We're not entirely clear on how it's supposed to work, but it's a circuit of some kind (not a counterweight) that takes information from the surface it's mounted to and reduces vibrations. Commencal is running about 25 of them on each bike, starting at the tires, hubs, brake calipers, shock spring, fork legs, crown, and the internal damper. According to the team, and a few other WC riders who tested the system, the difference is immediately and profoundly noticeable. They don't come cheap though, at about $1000 per bike or in the $300 range for just a suspension. You decide. www.axxios-tech.com
