New META AM 29: Much more than just a facelift!The switch to a 29-inch wheeled META from 2019 onwards has enabled a significant improvement in performance. For 2021, we’re taking advantage of the experience and knowledge of our EWS riders and numerous tests, to make it even more effective against the clock!The kinematics have been redesigned to enable a bike that is both more dynamic and more comfortable during suspension travel. This results in less rider-leg fatigue and essentially the ability to ride the bike optimally towards the end of long race stages. Thanks to 170mm travel on the front and 160mm on the back, this META AM is an enduro platform designed above all, to go fast for extended periods of time. With faster-than-ever speed to deal with we decided to alter the geometry.

Lengthened for stability, equipped with a 40mm stem, a short fork offset (42/44mm) and a slacker head angle. This means handling is not impeded and the bike feels like it has a good sense of direction. The seat angle is straightened and the offset is reduced for optimised uphill positioning regardless of whether in the saddle or on the pedals.The stiffness of the frame is always the subject of much attention. The use of double-row Enduro Bearings allows a more homogeneous deformation of the frame without the loss of stiffness via the bearings.Aesthetically, the frame has evolved in depth. It’s very simple, everything is new! Notably, the sharper lines highlight improved performance.The new META AM 29 will therefore delight riders eager for performance and those who like to give it all regardless of the difficulty of the trail before them!About the META AM 29 SIGNATUREWith a colourway that mixes ‘Pearl White & Electroplate Lagoon’ this META AM 29 pays tribute to the COMMENCAL 100% Team.FOX + SHIMANO + DT SWISS = the perfect combo? The new FOX 38 Factory fork with its 38mm uppers and the new Float X2 shock is the brand’s most enduro-focused suspension combo, capable of winning any round of the EWS. It’s also the suspension choice that offer the biggest range of hydraulic adjustments and which satisfies the most demanding riders. You have 12-speed SHIMANO XT transmission and 4-piston SHIMANO XT brakes with RT-MT900 discs and therefore reliability, ease of maintenance and performance from the Japanese brand. To finish in style, we have DT SWISS custom wheels designed specifically for our bikes. They have one of the best enduro rims on the market today the EX 511, as well as 350 hubs which are reliable and solid.Top of the range from A to Z!
