Race Face Sponsors Commencal for 2006

Race Face Components Inc., one of North America's leading producers of high-end mountain bike components and apparel, is proud to announce the sponsorship of the Commencal Professional Downhill and 4 Cross race team.

Signed until December 2006, the Commencal race team will ride Race Face's line of high performance Diabolus componentry.

"We are thrilled to work with Max Commencal again and support his professional racing program" says Race Face president, Craig Pollack. "They have put together an exceptionally strong team for 2006. With riders like Cedric the Entertainer and Anne Caroline Chausson, they are primed and ready for a successful season. We are looking forward to seeing what results the Commencal Team will post on the World Cup scene. It is an awesome opportunity for us to test our gear on one of the best proving grounds with the harshest of conditions, the world cup racing circuit."

The complete 2006 Commencal Professional Downhill and 4 Cross race team includes: Romain Saladini, Remy Absalon, Anne Caroline Chausson, and Cedric Gracia. All team members bring a wealth of elite downhill and 4 cross racing experience to the table.

The Commencal team has selected to use Race Face's Diabolus Freeride/DH components for the 2006 season. The Diabolus Crank, built in our BC manufacturing facility, is the stiffest and strongest crank out there and will provide ultimate performance for their racing team. Partnering this with our Diabolus Headset, Handlebar, Seat Post and Stem will give them an uncompromising cockpit that they can trust. All of these components are built for their demanding needs as they put them to the ultimate test on the World Cup Racing Circuit.

Race Face would like to wish all the athletes on the Commencal Team the best of luck for the 2006 racing season. We hope that providing you with our support and products will help to give you the confidence you need to succeed on the gruelling 2006 circuit. Good luck and go kick some ass!
