The Commencal Pro Race Department badge lets you know this bike is special, and it carries Hugo's signature in gold under the shield.

The build
Grappler Sidekick Pro Flux Carbon GR DH Rear MTB Wheel
From £1,139.95
The high idler drivetrain, the Helix Race Alloy GR cranks, and the Sidekick Flux Carbon DH wheels.
Flux rims, front and rear
Hugo runs a Pro Flux Carbon rims at each end, and they're different rims:
The front gives more grip and comfort, but you still have precision. The rear is more about being strong, allowing you to push harder on gnarly sections.

Sidekick on the braking bumps
On the hub:
First of all, the bike is super quiet, which is super cool to me. It feels smoother on the braking bumps, and you get less impact to your feet. My bike also feels way faster and more dynamic than without the Sidekick.

On braking bumps, the Sidekick anti-kickback hub makes a big difference. The suspension cycles fast while you're hard on the brakes, and your feet take every bit of feedback the chain sends.
