Verdict Commencal El Camino is equipped in doing what it does best - cruise along light terrain. This hardtail is built for beginner enthusiasts who are looking for a comfortable yet robust mountain bike. Small jumps and drops are not a problem at all; however, it lacks the firepower for anything more intense. Camino is not a beast, but for beginners trying to get a feel of the trails, it gives you the bang for your buck.
