I haven't ridden the 29er Meta power unfortunately, but I've ridden other 29er ebikes and for ebikes I like 27.5. My normal pedal bike is a 29er so I'm not a hater. The heaviness of an ebike obviously takes away some of the playfulness of the bike and by keeping it 27.5 you gain some of that...

Thanks dude! This was the 27.5.

Unfortunately not. I'm from SA but I live in Southern California now.

Cheers (y)

Thanks dude!

Thanks Tamas! Agreed, brakes are a very personal preference beyond the basic function of stopping.

I've gotta admit I had some pretty strong preconceptions about this bike before I rode it, mainly based on the geometry. I was very surprised.

Thanks DK! If I can get hold of a 2019 I'll be sure to test it out. For what it's worth I don't think you'll be disappointed with the coil, just make sure its sprung correctly for your weight. I've ridden a friend's Meta Power which had the Rock Shox coil and it felt great!

Thanks bud! Appreciate the kudos over on mtbr too!

Thanks bud! Your avatar cracks me up every time by the way :D

I really like this bike! I also really think they look a lot better in the flesh, especially the battery setup on the down tube.

Sweet! A coil is at the top of my list.

I have the latest firmware on my bike and it worked fine. I think it's definitely worth a try, just to see if you even like or notice it being derestricted.

How are you liking the coil so far?

I made a video on how you can do it for free. It's a 100% reversible too.
