Who better to represent COMMENCAL USA than an American born and bred, proud of his roots, holding high the values of his country and not forgetting, an excellent rider?  

 

That’s correct! Kyle Strait has joined us for the next two years and will ride our bikes besides being involved in promoting online sales via www.commencalusa.com. 

 

His two victories at the Red Bull Rampage, his natural ‘freeride’ spirit and overall involvement in our sport seduced us. We are very proud to have him with us and we look forward to him lining up with our bikes at forthcoming events.

 

Kyle Strait, welcome!
