Pro Bike Check: Cecile Ravanel’s Commencal Meta AM V4

Cecile Ravanel has had an electric start to 2016, leaving the opening rounds of the EWS in South America with both victories and then following them up by claiming a second on the slopes of Wicklow Mountain in Ireland. Cecile is instantly recognisable out on track, not only from her attacking style but the bright and punchy Commencal Meta she pilots around the world’s toughest race stages. Since it is one of the hottest bikes on the circuit and is currently leading the overall, we thought it’d be rude not to have a close up look at the bike born in the heart of Andorra.

Pro Bike Check: Lewis Buchanan’s BMC Trailfox

It’s fair to say that Lewis Buchanan has already left his mark on enduro racing despite 2016 being his inaugural season in the sport. Some would say it was a risky move for BMC to pick up Lewis having little experience in the discipline, but that risk is paying off handsomely with the young Scot turning plenty of heads and already ruffling the feathers of some household names. As Lewis lives just down the road from our UK office in the Tweed Valley, we thought it would be rude not to go catch up with Lew and have a closer look at the BMC Trailfox that he has taken to a 13th and 7th place in the first two rounds of the Enduro World Series, keep an eye out for an interview over the coming weeks!
