Commencal Meta HT AM Race review

May 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Bombproof big-control front end at a small price, but brutally stiff and reach is short. Buy if you like your hardtails to be as hard and stiff as possible, and are happy with a shorter reach

Highs
  • Top-quality fork and sorted kit for the cash, super-confident slack angle, big bar steering

Lows
  • Brutally stiff rear end upsets dynamic balance and control of the ride, short-reach frame by the latest standards, QR rear axle

Commencal Meta HT AM Race 650B (2015) longterm review - MBR

Dec 2015 · Roo Fowler

Has Commençal created the ultimate hardtail? Nine months’ gestation and Roo reveals all

Highs
  • The RockShox Revelation fork — it felt stiff enough and performed flawlessly throughout the test.

  • Swapping to some Michelin Wild Rock’R 2 tyres, when the bike then came alive.

  • Some of the last, late summer rides on the Meta HT after the three key spec changes were implemented — I felt every bit as confident hitting the same stuff I’d been riding on my full-suspension trail bike.

Lows
  • The first few rides when the Formula brakes started rubbing on the discs and eventually dragged me and the bike to a halt.

  • Any misjudged landings where you feel the lack of compliance in the rear end.

  • In fact, spot a rock on the landing of a jump and you’d better have an inner tube

  • In your pack.

  • Getting used to a 100mm dropper after being spoilt by a 150mm.
