Introducing the new Commencal Furious DH/FR

The level of riding and bike performance are increasing.
The need for stability is becoming greater and more important than ever.

The FURIOUS has a long front end that provides stability and excellent grip for the front wheel. Still, we wanted a fun bike too, so we use short chain stay to get a bike that is easy to ride, easy to corner, responsive to changes in trajectory and playful over jumps.

For the same reasons, the head angle remains pretty standard for this category. The bike gives confidence in steep conditions, remains easy to corner and fun to ride.

Year after year we continue to believe in our Contact System and we adapt it for each discipline.
we have kept a single main pivot because we don’t believe there is a better solution to ensure consistency. The goal is to offer a bike that is easy to handle, predictable and very well balanced from front to back. Keeping the bike balance is effortless and as a result, you can save energy and in turn, everything becomes easier!

With the FURIOUS, we wanted the best possible ratio of comfort-to-dynamism. That’s why the main pivot is located in this specific spot. This position avoids generating too much kickback negatively affecting the suspension performance.

We use chain tension to get that lively frame we wanted. This is pretty helpful to gain speed in compressions and when exiting corners. It also gives more support on take-offs providing great jumping characteristics.

As usual, our kinematics are progressive to provide grip, support and control at the end of travel.

The FURIOUS introduces the “Progressive Contact System”.

A size small is more linear than a size XL.

If we assume that someone who rides a size small is lighter than a rider who chooses an XL, a bike that is too progressive will prevent them from being able to use the entirety of the travel. In contrast, a heavier rider will need more a progressive feel to get more support and to avoid bottoming out.

With the Progressive Contact System, we don’t make any compromises, but instead we ensure the dynamics are relevant for each size of bike and rider.
