Just got this landed in my intray with an infuriatingly cryptic video. Does anyone know anything about this frame? I'm intrigued.

Nice to see that you're maintaining those high standards 

[iain1775]

Too right MC cakes or beer no no
Cakes AND beer then maybe

[Tomm]

Hmm, to those who have seen it, I only want the merest of tidbits of info.

Single pivot (+/- linkage-actuated shock) or proper multi-linkage bike?

[Snakes]

Haven't seen it yet, but in my opinion single pivot, all their bikes are single pivot and they will probably stay that way, but we will see....

Single Pivot, seatstays replace the connecting rods, shock is floating.

Think it'll be an amazing bike, but I wont be buying one.

Have a look at the V3 for a clue 

[Snakes]

One post was deleted?

When will be article online, at Midnight?

[100mphplus]

I think it said 8pm June 30th, but that will be 8pm Andorra time I'm guessing?

[Snakes]

I thought this article.

On official movie it is said at 8pm.

Ive asked Commencal what we can and can't release tomorrow but not had a response.
According to some of the stuff I’ve seen, the official press release date isn’t the 20th but actually later in the month so I’m not sure what details will be put on the Commencal website tomorrow and what can be re-published elsewhere (for all I know a magazine may have agreed an exclusive and I wouldn’t want to scupper Commencals marketing plans by posting something we shouldn’t)
The official press release I’ve seen, whilst it gives the essential details is only part of the information available, and if I could we could say alot more about the bike (and the entire 2012 range) but I wouldn’t want to jeopardize this site by publishing something we shouldn’t be
Surfise to say though, it will be worth the wait, it does look like an interesting bike

[Snakes]

Here it is:
























Yeah I am first .
Just like DH V3.

More pictures and ride report.

[rugbyred]

Very, very nice. I like that they have added iscg tabs.
Looks like it will be a ripper, hopefully they are made to handle the abuse that people should give them. Time will tell.
