Title Bike Check: Brett Rheeder's Commencal FRS
Earlier this year, Brett made the announcement that he and Trek Bikes would be parting ways. This would mark the end of an era that saw both Brett and Trek excel and grow beyond anyone's expectations from when he signed that first contract with the company in 2012. However, with every ending comes a new beginning and opportunity, and I do not believe I am alone in looking forward to seeing what the next chapter looks like for Brett.
For 2022 and onward, Brett will be riding for Commencal Bikes. So, to commemorate the beginning of said new chapter, let's take a look at the first of Brett's new rides; the Commencal FRS.

brett is a sick rider! he has such good title components and a sick bike. his Commencal Rampage 2022 bike is also really sick! he is overall an amazing rider. he is one of my favourite riders and is so steezy on his bike.

I recently discovered Title while just looking around the web at various components. I came across a bar from a company named Title of which I have never heard of. I really liked what I saw which was a bar with a minimalist style which immediately got my attention. So upon further investigation I decided this will be the company I support for my next rebuild which is now underway. I purchased a 50 mil bar and stem combo. I got the G1 brake levers and seat post collar. I will be purchasing a saddle and seat post in the near future. I also picked up various other merchandise to show my support for Title. Really looking forward to seeing what else comes out from them. Added to my bucket list. Ride the title line. Here’s hoping!!!
