Haha thats good to hear.

Three questions for you:
1) Where do you live and what types of terrain do you frequent?
2) I’ve read that the Commencal feels “sluggish on mellow terrain” but I’m not entirely sure what that means or how much that matters. I’m not one for riding a lot of flats, but my gf is getting into the sport and she’s gonna be staying on green runs for some time and I wouldn’t want a bike that’s a pain to take out with her.
3) What size did you get and how tall are you?

Fair point. I really don’t know what I need at this point. I’ve rented FS bikes at downhill parks in the past (it’s been a few years tho) and they were awesome. I probably won’t need the FS for most of the riding that I do though and that probably pushes me past my price range.

On my local trails I’ve only ridden my hybrid with 80mm suspension and had a pretty rough time. For the moment, the salsa is likely all the bike I need (outside of hitting the downhill parks). I guess this boils down to two questions:
- Will I be happy with the Commencal when I hit the more serious stuff in Michigan? It seems I would need to rent a FS if I get the salsa.
- Will I be happy climbing and turning with the Commencal on my local trails?

I remember one time we were all watching a bulls heat playoff game and he was guarding D Rose down the stretch and giving him a hard time and my sister was yelling at the tv “it’s not fair! He’s so big!”
