Summary
The Commençal Meta TR is a versatile trail bike that excels in aggressive riding with its progressive geometry and efficient suspension setup.

A shiny object made up of other, smaller shiny objects
Jan 2021
Featuring a tough alloy chassis and envelope-pushing geometry, the Commencal Meta TR 29 ain't no mainstream teeny-bopper trail bike. But what's it like to ride outside of the Pyrenees mountains it was designed in? We've been testing a top-end Meta TR 29 Signature to find out - read on for the full review.
Apocalypse-ready frame
On-trend gravity geometry
Highly tuneable and well-controlled suspension
The XT drivetrain is so punchy and crisp
Superb DT Swiss wheelset
Front tyres is an odd choice for this bike
Twin-piston brakes lack oomph
Not particularly comfortable for regular trail riding
Shock's climb switch is awkward to activate
Sep 2020 · Mike Kazimer
Commencal's burly trail bike has morphed into something different for 2021.
Solid, ready for anything feel
Excellent descender
Comfortable climbing position helps hide some of the heft
On the heavier side of the spectrum for this category
A few parts picks don't match the bike's abilities
