Comparing the Specialized Levo 4 EVO Pro against the Commencal Meta Power SX (the 800Wh Avinox build) - these are two very different answers to "full-power enduro":

Spec	Levo 4 EVO Pro	Commencal Meta Power SX
Motor	Specialized 3.1	Avinox M2S
Torque/Power	105Nm / 810W claimed peak (~725W measured)	150Nm / 1300W claimed peak
Battery	840Wh	800Wh
Weight	24.4kg	24.1kg (Signature trim)
Travel (f/r)	180/170mm	160/160mm
Reach (size L-ish)	495mm (S5)	485mm (L)
Head angle	63.6-63.7°	64.0°
Price	£10,299 (Pro trim)	From £6,600, up to £10,450 (Podium)

On the bike-finder's ride-feel numbers, this isn't really a "which is better" question, it's "which flaw do you want":

The Levo EVO Pro scores 92/100 for descending in its S4 size but only 70/100 for technical climbing - it's the more travel, more gravity-committed bike, and the read literally says it's built for "fast, steep, rough tracks" and rewards commitment rather than finesse.

The Commencal SX flips that: 87/100 descending but 84/100 for technical climbing at size L, because the Avinox M2S's 150Nm and a steep 77.9° seat angle make it "a proper winch" up technical stuff. Same story on torque generally - the M2S simply has more grunt on paper than the 3.1, though the Levo carries the bigger battery.

Money's the other half of the story: your £10,299 Levo money buys the Commencal's Podium trim (SRAM X0 AXS, FOX Factory suspension) rather than the entry RIDE build - so at like-for-like spend the Commencal's kit list is arguably stronger, it's just riding on an alloy frame with less overall travel.

If you want the plusher, more descending-biased bike and don't mind paying Specialized money for it, the Levo EVO Pro is the pick. If climbing performance and drivetrain spec-for-pound matter more, the SX in a higher trim is the sharper buy. Both are current-gen, no ageing-tech traps here.
