What is "comp"

Well, what is it exactly?? Whatever it is, it sure seems to be all over the place, shocks, bikes, I think I saw a Hersheys Comp with Almonds the other day.

it often means not the top of the line. ex. WTB makes a speed v team, race, and comp saddle. the comp is the same basic design but heavier and less expensive than the race and team models. a lot of bikes have the same thing. my MXcomp fork is a little lower in performance than the MXpro, etc.

Id put comp over sport.

But different brands rank it differently.
