Summary

The Commençal Meta HT is a versatile and playful hardtail, praised for its solid value, modern geometry, and confidence-inspiring downhill performance. While it excels in aggressive terrain, some riders find it lacks excitement on mellow trails and note the rear end can be uncomfortably stiff. The bike's 27.5-inch wheels and plus-sized tires contribute to a comfortable ride, balancing its hard-charging nature with maneuverability.

Pros
  • Versatile geometry

  • Playful yet hard-charging hardtail

  • Solid value

  • Confidence-inspiring downhill performance

  • Comfortable and relatively efficient climber

Cons
  • Brutally stiff rear end

  • Lacks excitement on mellow trails

  • Moderately heavy weight

  • Short-reach frame by the latest standards

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
