Boss (Leon) – Kuroda Takenori.

After a differing opinion with Max Commencal on bicycle production, Leon chose to walk a different path, but the two still remain good friends.

Phil (Philippe Garcia)
Chief Product Designer
Instead of to be an aviation engineer for Airbus, Phil chose to design bicycles. He was product designer for both Sunn and Commencal, and after leaving Commencal produces ski stocks and ski wear with Zoobab under the brand Urge Snow Products.
In both the Sunn and Commencal eras bikes designed by Phil consistently won MTB of the year. The names of the classic bikes Sunn Revolt and Commencal Supernormal are also legacies of his genius.

Zoobab
Chief Graphic Artist
With a unique sense and style, Zoobab’s individual, fun logos and creative use of colour prove him a genius artist and designer. Designing Sunn and Commencal’s bicycle appearances, catalogs and clothing, it is no exaggeration to say he created both companies’ image.
Working in design for 20 years, he grew tired of modern society’s consumerism and wastefulness, and of modern business practices, leading to a major lifestyle change. He currently lives in a small village in Provence in the south of France where he runs URGE Bike Products, does freelance design work and lives a simple, modest and natural lifestyle.
A funny and bright character, he loves MTB, surfing and animals.
