Thanks Shenchman for the fork decal link. Looks much better than holloween orange imo

My failed attempt to color match the motor cover plate in an attempt at more stealth. It may have backfired anyway as it may draw even more attention to that area..

Looks waaay better ? Had you not mentioned the motor cover respray job I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. Looks good to me ??

So the bike is just amazing! Couldn't be happier! I am not sure about the rattle. Haven't been biking without the trusted AirPods pro. =)

Share some pics of your sleds in the wild lads!

Love it. Are you happy with your choice of the 29er? I’m eyeing up a 27 signature (would be happy with a race too) but can’t help but keep considering a 29.

I didn’t quite gel with my Decoy 29 so that might have answered my own question, although being an XL it felt too big for me in any case!

To be fair, I only have ridden 29'ers for the last couple of years. So I am quite used to it. I am a 181CM and have a Large, which seems to be the perfect size for me.

I was not too happy with my XL Decoy 29er either. It felt heavy and did not handle well in comparison to the Meta. But my 7 previous bikes were all 29, so I’m not sure how 27.5 bikes ride anymore. Lol.

 

[Irfan1712]

Fair!
I think I’ve set my mind on the 27 now. It’s just deciding between race with the Zebs and rear coil, or paying extra for the blingy signature with the Fox 38’s. I can’t stand code R’s which the race has but they can always be changed. Availability on both bikes is June 2021. Madness.

Got my SX Race yesterday... Invisiframed ready with a few additions, big day out tomorrow, can't wait to see how it rides!! ?

Perfect! Killer spec and look. Only thing I would change are the white decals. Black would do better. Also on the website the Zeb's decals on the Race are white and the chain is silver. Pitty there's no Meta SX priced between the Ride and Race and on better components than SRAM SX and Guide RE + some cheaper coil. 5699€ for such a machine and it will be mine. Race too expensive, Ride requires too much upgrades.

 

[melmark]

Brand new model! New meta power TR with less travel (150/140), more trail oriented (obviously)

 

[melmark]

different geometry and linkage

 

[R120]

This is the bike I have been waiting for them to bring out

 

[rb.]

As someone who had a 140/150 YT decoy 29 and now a Meta Power 29. I’ve come to the conclusion, more power is more better with ebikes.

I was about to say the same thing - as there's no penalty for a bigger bike (climbing wise), why bother with TR?
Unless it's a really light bike with smaller motor/battery (a-la Levo SL), it still will be a slog on flat trails

 

[brewoz40]

Have to agree, just don't see the point of this bike. The geo isn't bad and I'm sure it rips, but your not saving any weight at all, just sacrificing suspension travel for what?? I guess it's basically in line with the Levo and other manufactures that have a more 'trail' oriented E bike. But without the weight savings, just not worth it in my opinion. Especially with the Levo SL and the Orbea Rise. No contest. It's still going to be a heavy big beast that's still going to plow but with less travel. A miss in my opinion. Should have come out with a smaller battery, even mullet, shave off at least 10 - 12lbs, then we be talking. As is, no point at all. Same weight basically as it's bigger counter part. So why??

Thanks! I looked into new decals to cover the white ones but nobody makes them yet... Perhaps a project further down the line. I swapped out the Zeb decals for gold from SLIKgraphics and the chain was upgraded to a gold Sram xx1. Gold pins on the DMR vaults and gold collars on the deathgrips. As i said, must've added about 20hp with the upgrades ? ??

I agree 100%. For me, there are two EMTB styles that are interesting going in to 2021. Big enduro bikes 170-180mm travel or the Levo SL/Orbea Rise style truly light weight trail bikes. The bikes in-between these doesn't make sense to me anymore.

 

[rafaellop]

Or at least 10mm to the travel, 0.5 degree to the HTA or 1 pound less weight ;-)) Great bike. I'll probably end up on the SX Ride model and upgrade further in the future step by step.

Have you compared the real weight to the advertised?

 

[mastercut]

hello someone had problem mount hope v4 brakes on rear meta power ? seam that 220 rotor cannot be mount on this frame

seams the only solution is to mount a 200mm rotor witha a +40 adpter.. any suggestion?

It says "REAR ROTOR MAX. SIZE: 220 MM", so you'd think it should fit... Haven't tried myself

problem is the caliper that is bigger than original sram crap

 

[Mcharza]

Damn, use a hammer. But only a little ?

 

[Darkyhs]

I got on my bike the 220 Magura MDR-P discs with Shimano Saint brakes. But my Team version came with 220 SRAM discs. So it should fit. If you need any pics of the clearance, please do let me know buddy

 

[melmark]

Looks like the caliper width is the issue. Perhaps V4's just won't fit. Smaller rotor looks like it might move the caliper closer in where clearance is a smidge wider.

 

[robat]

You also should be aware, that commencal uses a special 20mm adapter (the speed sensor is mount to it). You can buy it on their website.

 

[Darkyhs]

 

[Mteam]

Hmmm, that brake adapter mounted speed sensor is interesting - I'm wondering if I could use it on my orbea wild fs to move the speed sensor away from being spoke mounted to being brake disc mounted for a slightly cleaner look.

I've just checked the commencal website and you can buy the adapter with the built in speed sensor mount point for 35 euro - I wonder if there's enough space on my frame for it.

 

[Mteam]

can anyone with one of the brake adapters with built in mount for the speed sensor, tell me the following:-

1. What size brake rotor you have (200mm or 220mm)
2. The length of the bit that sticks out underneath the adapter that the speed sensor mounts to - the dimension marked by the red arrow below- need to check whether it will fit.

Hey is there anyone who knows the mounting hardware size for the shock?

In spec sheet it says "20 X 10 MM FRONT / 15 X 10 MM REAR"

ah should of checked that. got a new ext shock coming for my meta
