So after waiting 7months for a Transition Sentinel frame to turn up I finally gave up and cancelled the order. Myself and 2 other mates have each ordered one of the Meta Power TR signature.
I was on the fence between an ebike and enduro when I ordered the Sentinel and finally swayed towards that because as a mate pointed out nobody we ride with had E’s yet.
so as interest spiked towards the end of last year we all decided to take the plunge.
Commencal site stated delivery Feb 21 when we ordered in Dec. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for late Feb but realistically I’m thinking March/April. Honestly buzzing to get out on it

That looks awesome! Commencal make great looking bikes.

Just order my TR (Gun Metal Ride). Said Feb '21 but now its saying May '21 so we will see. Plan on upgrading the suspension ASAP and wanted to contact Commencal to see if a coil would be a good upgrade. Been looking at a full Marzocchi upgrade with a CR bomber and progressive spring and air Z1 at 160mm.

Take it easy. Bikes are sold batch by batch, so if it said Feb '21 when you ordered that's likely the actual shipping date. People ordering now will get their bikes May '21 at the earliest. I went through the same roller coaster and got my bike just like the site said when I ordered it.

That would be awesome. I ordered the lower spec because it said Feb '21. I have had that rear shock on my Capra and it was terrible. Was thinking a DPX or the CR for a replacement since I have run the DPX and a few FOX shocks. As for the Gold 35, also had a Yari on the capra and the lyrik I replaced it with was night and day. Previous bike was the Norco VLT and loved the 36 on the front of that hence the want for the Z1. Been riding for 12 years so have had a chance to ride alot of bikes and suspensions.

I think we've ordered the same bike, said February 26th, so this Friday for the shipping date, guess we'll need to wait and see ?

Ordered mine on 22nd January, guess that was just too late. Canyon Spectral:ON seem to have similar in stock right now, Commencal say a week to get the money back, we'll see, don't really want to wait until the lockdowns end and we all go back to work full time to get the bike, now is the perfect time as I'm only doing about 5 hours work a week!

If you really want a bike and you're not too picky, there are some sites and shops around that have stock at the moment, otherwise most of the manufacturers are gonna have really uncertain wait times unfortunately.

Yes, have seen there's a few about, need to wait for the money back, "In around a week" - quick enough to take it in the first place...

On the Commencal website they are showing the same bike as available April 2nd:

Not the most trustworthy of companies on this.

 

[SoCalDH]

Looks like bike should be delivered end of April. It is what it is with Covid causing so many delays in all industries. Also had the X2 I ordered delayed till then. Just glad I have a dirt bike to get my 2 wheel fix.

 

[Surrey Hillbilly]

After 11 days Commencal finally got the money back in my account. Not really buying the Covid/Brexit excuse, after telling Commencal to shove it I ordered a Canyon on a Sunday, it arrived from Germany the following Tuesday, 9 days. So what is the excuse for anyone else?

 

[SoCalDH]

I got no choice every other ebike in my price range and geo I want wont be available until end of summer here in the US. Scott and Trek both said September and Marin is sometime in June.
