The e160 is amazing value in Australia compared to the Meta. You can get the 9000 for under $10k at 99 bikes. That's cheaper than the Meta Power 29 Essential.

They don't ship E Bikes tho , so in current climate that won't work.
In Tas they are $11K.
Regardless , anyway I don't want a Mereda.
Thanks.

What do you mean they don't ship ebikes? I get they are $11k but that's retail and you can bargain them down unlike direct to consumer.

Wait for what you want if you have another bike to ride, otherwise get a bike to ride sooner.Hey guys, I have a quick question and I am a bit stuck on this. After loads of research, I finally decided to order a Commencal Meta Power Öhlins edition. However, the wait is killing me, I saw now that the RockShox version, the Meta Power Team edition will be in stock from the 15th of November. I genuinely don't know what to do, wait for 4 more months(or more if something goes wrong), or change the order. What would you do? Also, it is a 500EU difference at the end of the day.

You have to pick them up in store.
No 99 bikes in Tasmania.
No stock of bikes , and full retail is what you will pay in these high demand times.
If you're in Tassie, I can recommend Cycology in Launceston
My friend and I both bought our ebikes from there (he bought giant, I bought merida). They gave us a great price and they are good if something goes wrong.

Ahh wasn't aware they're not shipping.
Wrong on the RRP though. I got my preorder with a $1500 discount. You don't even need to haggle. they've already done it themselves.

I do have another bike, but I ordered 2 e-bikes. One for the wife and one for myself. Her bike has just been shipped. So I want to ride with her and I NEED to keep up with her
. On my Stumpy Evo I won't keep up. But I will keep that bike as an all-round trasher and BikePark weapon 
Can't you sabotage her bike in the interim?I do have another bike, but I ordered 2 e-bikes. One for the wife and one for myself. Her bike has just been shipped. So I want to ride with her and I NEED to keep up with her
Just ordered my 21 Meta Power 29. According to the Commercial US distributor in Colorado they have the bikes in stock and are awaiting Shimano to perform the recall before shipping them to customers. They said some batches of the recall parts have actually arrived at their facility. The Commencial employee told me someone from Shimano would come out to perform initial recalls but Commencial employees may be allowed to help or perform the recalls themselves eventually. Hopefully this happens sooner than later with winter fast approaching!

I gotcha, I rode with my wife on our non ebikes. She always struggled to keep up. I would wait for her and let her get her breath back. And just be chill. Hopefully you can ask her to wait for you while you catch up. Just try to be clear and communicate well. If your ego can't handle it, I guess your going to have to come out of pocket for worse bike components and a higher price tag. Personally I'd wait and just ride my full sus.I do have another bike, but I ordered 2 e-bikes. One for the wife and one for myself. Her bike has just been shipped.

I purchased a Medium Meta Power 29 Essential on Sep 4. I emailed Commencal USA on Oct 25 asking about the potential delivery date and was told "We are still on track to fulfill your e-bike order by the end of December!". He didn't give me any extra details. Fingers crossed it does, as i'm currently bike-less and going insane.

Just got a call from Commencal US - they are shipping out bikes this week!!!
This is fantastic. I emailed the UK store earlier so waiting to see what they say about availability
So out of the blue I received an email from Commencal just now stating my order has been processed and is being prepared for shipping. Should receive tracking details shortly.
Having waited and searched for months for a decent emtb to join my group of friends with, I'm absolutely over the moon!!!

Are you in US? Which one did you order?
I've just had the same email!
Nah mate, I'm in the UK. Ordered the SX race as the 29ers are too big for me ??
That must have been the call from 303 area code I could not answer today! NICE

This is much better news than I was expecting. Now I will be refreshing my email a dozen times a day until I get an email from Commencal as well. Lol

Yep, I can confirm. I got an email as well that they are preparing my bike and they will provide me with a tracking number once it has been shipped <3

Got too anxious to wait and called up Commencal USA. He confirmed that they received a shipment of EP8 motors, but that if I haven’t been contacted by them already that I can still expect a Dec arrival.
Oh well, still good news. Can’t wait to see more people post up pics of their bikes when they get them.
