The CLASH has 170 mm of travel and 27.5" wheels, and is designed for one thing and one thing only - having fun! With a look of the FRS, the freeride affiliation is obvious. In addition to descending at full gas, the CLASH knows how to pedal to get to the trailhead when the lift is closed. Depending on the terrain you can optimise grip or dynamism thanks to a specific insert.
The CLASH ESSENTIAL plays the class card with perfectly matching subtle colours and black components.
FOX take care of the suspension. We find the excellent 38 Float Performance fork with the ultra-sensitive FLOAT EVOL spring and its GRIP hydraulic cartridge, allowing compression settings to be adjusted to any of the three positions.
The FOX Float X2 Performance shock benefits from a large volume of air which gives it the linearity and feel of a coil spring.
SHIMANO manages gear changes and braking with the SLX groupset. A particularly reliable 12-speed drivetrain with a wide 10-51t gear ratio is perfect for rides with more climbing.
The 4-piston brakes and 203mm discs offer a clean and powerful feel for serene and constant braking in all conditions.
DT SWISS E 532 wide profile rims are ideal for aggressive riders and with reinforced hubs they are perfect for the CLASH.
To offer maximum grip and performance we have a MAXXIS Assegai and Minion DHRII tyre combo. The EXO+ casing brings lightweight strength.
Please note, due to Commencal being a new brand at MTB Monster we do not carry these bikes in stock at our showroom. Please contact us if you would like any further information.

Commencal Clash Essential Size Guide
The Commencal Clash Essential (full suspension mountain bike) comes in four sizes. Please make sure any measurements are taken without any footwear on.
158cm - 170cm = Size Small
168cm - 180cm = Size Medium
178cm - 190cm = Size Large
188cm - 210cm = Size X-Large
Please Note: Many bike brands' size guides overlap slightly. This is because small adjustments like seat position can accommodate riders who fall between sizes. When you're in this overlap zone, the choice comes down to preference: a larger size for a more stretched-out ride, or a smaller size for a more compact feel.
At MTB Monster, we help customers on a daily basis choose the right size bike for their needs. We consider your measurements, riding style, and past bikes to help recommend the best size. If you're in doubt at all or want to just confirm your thoughts please contact us and we would be glad to help.
