Pinkbike VJ Charlie Coquillard likes to compare himself to professional downhill riders to show just how fast they are. Now he’s tried to keep up with 16-year-old Australian Tilly Boadle. While he’s gasping for breath, she comments on the current trail conditions and keeps asking, “Where’s Charlie?”

Downhill world champion Vali Höll is competing for the "Commencal / Schwalbe by Les Orres" team this season. In Lousa, the Austrian shows that she feels right at home on her new bike, the Supreme DH V5. The video speaks for itself!

Loris Vergier celebrated his greatest success to date at the Downhill World Championships in Andorra. Now the reigning world champion has entered into a promising partnership and signed with the Commençal-Muc-Off team, whose bikes come from Andorra. Vergier strengthens the team, which already includes Amaury Pierron and Myriam Nicole.

Many adults can really warm up to this: 10-year-old Benson Archer really lets it rip on his mountain bike. Maybe it's a bit over the top, but the question seems justified: Is this the next Jackson Goldstone?

At the Downhill World Championships in Andorra, Vali Höll beat Myriam Nicole by just 0.52 seconds. The synchronized recordings from her GoPro show just how close the Austrian and the Frenchwoman were on their runs. It's also interesting to hear what the racers say acoustically as they fly around the course.

When showcase freerider Brett Rheeder and master filmmaker Clay Porter work together, hardly anything can go wrong. The fresh clip "Circles" shows what the 2022 Red Bull Rampage winner is capable of in the Atacama Desert, Queenstown, British Columbia and Patagonia.

Commençal has been giving kids the opportunity to get powerful mountain bikes in small sizes for several years now. These are genuine enduro bikes that are just as much fun on rough slopes as they are in the bike park. Starting at around five years old, the Clash 20 has - nomen est omen - 20-inch wheels and everything it takes to ride around their parents' ears.

On a journey through the South American countries of Guatemala, Peru and Bolivia, the documentary "Fuego" shows impressive images, spiced up with the driving skills of Kilian Bron.

It's almost more of a nature documentary than a bike video: Andreu Lacondeguy really lets it rip with the action in his latest flick, but he leaves room for softer tones.

Commençal is known for building incredibly fast downhill and enduro bikes. But for some time now, the brand from Andorra has also been focusing on sliding equipment - skis and snowboards. "Our skis are developed and manufactured with the same care as our bikes and bear names such as Absolut, Clash, Meta or Supreme, which immediately bring to mind the areas for which they are made," says Commençal. Their new winter sports equipment is available online or from specialist retailers.

He is one of the fastest downhillers on the planet. However, his path to the top of the world has been marked by setbacks and injuries. We are talking about Amaury Pierron. In a documentary - characterized by short clips - lasting over an hour and therefore unusually long, the Frenchman provides an intimate insight into the world of top-class sport and behind the scenes. If you want to experience Pierron's journey with all its highs and lows, "The Pilot" is a must-see movie.

Camille Balanche and Amaury Pierron won the 2022 World Cup downhill overall rankings on it and Myriam Nicole became world champion in 2021 on Commencal's "Supreme DH V5" downhill bike, which was still a pre-production model at the time. Now the most successful downhill bike has reached series production and is available in stores.

The mail-order specialists from Andorra have a short-stroke newcomer: Tempo is the name of the offspring, which rolls onto the starting line with a 140 mm fork and a 120 mm rear triangle. Gone are the days of a fixed pivot point on the new bike, now Virtual Pivot Point is the order of the day. The result of the redesigned rear suspension should be racy acceleration - especially uphill - but still offer enough reserves for downhill riding.

The Commencal Enduro pro team is not only announcing a new collaboration with the French vacation destination Les Orres for the 2022 racing season. For the first time in its history, it will also become an official UCI downhill team and then the French team announces a new addition from Switzerland, Swiss enduro champion Lisa Baumann.

Loneliness, isolation and loss of reference points are symptoms that are difficult for those around him to understand. Downhill rocket Théo Erlangsen is going through this right now, but this addiction is probably not treatable. Accompany Théo in his "agony" as he chases his "addiction" and his e-mountain bike over the trails of Cape Town.

After "Chasing Volcanoes", "Our Tour de France" and "Outdoor Synchrony", Kilian Bron embarks on a new adventure in Turkey, in the heart of Cappadocia. A project that takes place in a very special atmosphere, brilliantly realized in terms of photography and videography.

The kids want to step on the gas, but they need the right equipment to do so. Commencal has brought its range of kids' bikes up to date and offers everything that young trail riders desire, from 12-inch off-road push bikes to 20-inch fullies and e-mountain bikes with 24-inch wheels.

Are your offspring around 135 centimetres tall and have nothing else on their mind but getting airtime in the dirt park and on the pump track? Then the Commencal Absolut 24 could be the right hardtail to playfully ensure further high flights.

Commencal is stepping on the gas again for the kids and is launching a new range of "Clash" models. From 20 to 27.5 inches, the fullies for the youngsters offer 130 millimetres of travel at 20 inches, 145 millimetres at 24 inches and 160 millimetres for the 27.5-inch Clash. The mini park rockets are available from 2'499.00 euros.

A huge fuss was made at the start of the season about the large wheels in the Downhill World Cup. Commençal also let its athletes ride the 29-inch prototypes of the "Supreme DH" downhill model throughout the season. The mountain bike manufacturer from Andorra is now launching the "Supreme DH 29" as a complete bike or race kit.

The Isla Bonita, as La Palma is often called, is no longer an insider tip among bike travelers. But it never ceases to amaze - for example in the video from Commençal announcing the launch of the new Meta V4.2. The short film shows world-class downhiller Rémi Thirion's mastery of two wheels paired with the most beautiful landscapes - perfect for combating the approaching winter blues.
