The CLASH ESSENTIAL doesn’t follow the trail — it tears it up and laughs on the way down. Born for big fun and built to shred, this 170mm travel beast turns rugged terrain into your personal playground. With FOX suspension dialed for chaos, 27.5" wheels that love to launch, and Shimano SLX gear that climbs like a goat on caffeine, the Clash is your all-terrain mischief machine. From bike park blasts to backcountry romps, it’s the ride Cyril grabs when the mission is simple: ride hard, raise hell, repeat.

Unleash your wild side with the COMMENCAL CLASH ESSENTIAL DARK SLATE—the bike built for those who take their fun seriously! Whether you’re slashing through trails like a pro or just enjoying the ride, this beauty invites you to let loose and chase adventure.

  • 170 mm of Travel: Perfect for soaking up all those bumps, jumps, and surprises the trail throws at you—think of it as your trusty sidekick on every climbing crusade and downhill dance.
  • 27.5" Wheels: Stride confidently through rough terrain with wheels that love to play in the dirt, allowing you to pedal up and over with ease (even when the lift isn’t operating).
  • Suspension by FOX: Equipped with the mighty 38 Float Performance fork and FLOAT EVOL spring, you’ll find solace on even the roughest of rides. And hey, the GRIP hydraulic cartridge lets you tweak it just right for every adventure!
  • Gear Changes & Braking: SHIMANO’s reliable SLX groupset ensures that your climbs are smooth while the 4-piston brakes and 203 mm discs provide the kind of stopping power that’ll make you feel invincible. Like a superhero, only with wheels!
  • Tires for Days: Featuring a MAXXIS Assegai and Minion DHRII combo, you’ve got grip and performance wrapped into a wickedly lightweight package. Those EXO+ casings mean you can get into mischief without worrying about a flat.

With its sleek dark slate look and matching components, the CLASH ESSENTIAL proves that adventure can be stylish too. Grab this bike, put on your adventurous hat, and get ready to explore like it's you're Indiana Jones  - minus the snakes but all the thrills!

Commencal Clash Essential Dark Slate Enduro Bike Detail Image 1

Built tough, spec'd smart — this is enduro muscle with real trail manners. With 170mm of rear travel and a triple-butted Alloy 6069 frame, the Clash Essential is made to charge. FOX 38 Performance forks soak up big hits, while the Float X2 shock keeps your line locked when the trail gets wild. Shimano’s SLX 12-speed groupset delivers crisp shifts under pressure, and the 4-piston brakes with 203mm rotors are built for those “oh no” moments. DT Swiss rims, MAXXIS EXO+ tyres, and ODI grips round out a build that’s equal parts play and precision.

Adjust it. Trust it. Ride it hard. Built from AL 6069 T4/T6 alloy with adjustable rear travel (170mm or 155mm via flip chip), the Clash Essential gives you total control over how you ride. It’s piggyback-shock ready, ISCG05 compatible, and clears up to a 223mm rear rotor — because braking should never be a question. With a 4kg frame weight, 230x65mm shock length, and aggressive enduro geometry, this frame is made to be pushed. Cyril says it’s the blueprint for rowdy freedom.
