Field Test: Commencal Meta HT AM Ride

Apr 2022 · Ryan Palmer

The Commencal Meta HT AM hardtail makes a case for why we shouldn't forget that plus-size tires are still a thing.

Highs
  • Internal cable routing

  • Plenty of tire clearance

  • Can run 29” wheel in the frame

  • Do-everything geometry

Lows
  • No dropper

  • Fork can’t fit a 29” wheel

  • One bottle cage mount
