We analyse the big geometry changes for Commencal's 2021 META AM 29; it retains the 160 mm single-pivot platform but gets long, steep and slack for MY21.

When I first hopped on the Meta so often would my thoughts drift back to my first legit mountain bike, a Giant AC1. It was silver, coil-sprung and opened my youthful eyes to nastier terrain. The Meta AM reminds me of this with its raw silver splendor and readiness to chew up the chunky stuff. Sure, most of my reminiscing is simply aesthetic with the Meta’s silver aluminum image and beefy stature. Plowing through questionable rock piles on the Meta would conjure fond memories and assert the bewilderment of hanging onto a pile of metal through such twisted sections of trail. Present components and geometry are a far cry from that decade-old steed. Rather than stopping trailside and removing a linkage bolt to change the suspension and drop the seat, the Meta offers on-the-fly rear suspension lockout and seat dropping among other modern standards. Its aluminum skeleton is molded and formed in unique ways that offers much intrigue, possibly more so than freshly molded carbon creations. Later as I sought to compile the riding characteristics of this bike I discovered that the word ‘meta’ means after or beyond in Greek. There’s no doubt that this bike and build can push one to their limit and possibly beyond and I truly felt that aboard on descents. It’s been on a podium tear piloted by Commencal’s Cecile Ravenal, too, who’s been nearly unbeatable in the Enduro Wordl Series these past couple seasons. While there’s a 29-inch version of the Meta AM on the horizon this is the tried and true original and shows no signs of fading away.

While some longer travel enduro bikes can feel sluggish until things get steep — with a stable pedalling platform, and a geometry that isn’t ridiculously raked out — the Meta AM 29 manages to feel responsive and agile, ideal for ducking and diving around the rocks and turns that litter Ainsa’s trails.. .
