Super 4.1 vs. Orange ST4

Great review on the Super 4.1 in this month’s Singletrack, UK
magazine. It went up against Orange’s ST4 in a head-to-head battle
and came out with some very positive comments. There was no overall
winner as although the bikes look very similar they are both intended
for quite different riding.

“Commencal bikes have always climbed fantastically, the Contact
System finds grip where others fail, leaving you swearing at the fact
that you can’t blame the bike for failing to clean a climb.”

“Climbing, the Commencal just rips…Out of the saddle climbing is
encouraged and you’ll run out of gears to shift up to quickly as the
bike almost dances up the hill, the shorter wheelbase helping give
the impression of an excitable pup.”

…”if you want to set lap records around the entire trail centre then
the Commencal will be your weapon of choice.”
