How it compares

On travel, the Commencal Clash V2 is right where the “freeride bike” category usually is: 170–180 mm up front against a median of 180 mm from 12 bikes. On travel, it slots in between the Commencal Meta SX V5 and the Commencal FRS in the Commencal range. The frame is made of aluminium.

For suspension, Commencal combines components from FOX, Marzocchi, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 38 Performance to the ROCKSHOX Zeb. With the OHLINS TTX22M Coil, the Clash Ohlins Edition build has a coil shock – here the spring rate determines SAG.

Setup notes for this spec

Fork (FOX 38 Performance): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
Rebound: on FOX, Marzocchi and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
Coil shock (OHLINS TTX22M Coil): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
Shock (FOX Float X2 Performance): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.

Target SAG for the Commencal Clash V2

The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Commencal specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.

180 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (Clash Essential, Clash Ohlins Edition, Clash Origin, Clash Park Edition, Clash Race, Clash Ride Rockshox)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 31 mm	24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 36 mm	28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 40 mm	30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 36 mm	27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft

170 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (Clash Marzo 2027)

Riding style	Fork SAG	Shock SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 29 mm	24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft
Trail	20 % = 34 mm	28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft
Enduro / rough	22 % = 37 mm	30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft
Bike park	20 % = 34 mm	27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft

180 mm fork (Clash Signature 2026)

Riding style	Fork SAG
XC / touring	17 % = 31 mm
Trail	20 % = 36 mm
Enduro / rough	22 % = 40 mm
Bike park	20 % = 36 mm

How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.

Tyre pressure starting values

For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Rear: MAXXIS DHR II - Front: MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: MAXXIS Minion DHR II - Front: MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: SCHWALBE Big Betty - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary.

Ready-to-ride weight	Front	Rear
60 kg	1.43 bar (21 psi)	1.63 bar (24 psi)
70 kg	1.55 bar (22 psi)	1.75 bar (25 psi)
80 kg	1.67 bar (24 psi)	1.87 bar (27 psi)
90 kg	1.79 bar (26 psi)	1.99 bar (29 psi)
100 kg	1.91 bar (28 psi)	2.11 bar (31 psi)
110 kg	2.03 bar (29 psi)	2.23 bar (32 psi)
120 kg	2.15 bar (31 psi)	2.35 bar (34 psi)

Air pressure in the fork and shock

The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.

Note: all information without guarantee. Specs can differ by model year, frame size and market – the type plate, the owner’s manual and Commencal’s information are authoritative. Never exceed the maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims.
