Commencal META AM Factory Long Term Test
We’ve just got our hands on a 2014 Commencal Meta Am Factory for a season long test. We will be putting the bike through everything you would want an all mtn to handle, from long XC trail rides to national level DH course laps & some bike park shredding so see if its the true all mountain machine that the specs would indicate.
Follow us here for regular updates & photos of the action or at MTBPRO on Facebook.

COMMENCAL 2014 META RANGE 26″/650B/29″
Commencal is a brand which has been a leader in innovation driven by a passion for performance. they’ve been ahead of the curve on suspension design & tuning for over 20years. Now with the rest of the world coming back to their MTB roots of ride up & hammer down for the pure exhilaration of it “enduro” riding is the new cool thing to do & Commencal has been building bikes designed for this for years now starting with the legendary meta 6.
With that same rider focused vision for 2014 Commencal gives you the choice of all three wheel sizes (26″/650B/29″) for the meta range all with customized geometry to best utilize their respective wheel size. This gives you the option to choose your style rather than get swept up in the latest wheel size hype wave. I know there are advantages to 29″ & 650B but aren’t we overlooking just how incredibly good 26″ wheels have been? They roll well, accelerate better than 650b/29’s & can be built ultralight while remaining laterally stiff & allow for a lower center of gravity for superior direction changes at speed.
Before you buy your next XC/Trail or “enduro” (aka “all mountain”) bike, do yourself a favor visit your local shop & take all three wheel sizes for a good tear on your favorite trails & let that tell you if its time to make the leap to the new wheels or keep rolling on the size that got you stoked on mountain biking & has kept your passion alive all this time.
