Summary
The Commençal Meta Power trail bike is a versatile and confident descender, offering a fun ride across a wide range of terrains. It boasts a solid climbing performance thanks to its steep seat tube and Shimano EP8 drive unit, alongside an impressive range from its 630Wh battery. However, its weight and some component choices may limit maneuverability in tight spots and affect the overall ride quality.
Versatile trail riding e-MTB
Confident descender
Good climbing performance with Shimano EP8 drive unit
630Wh battery provides impressive range
Reasonable price for the performance
Heavy weight affects maneuverability
Mediocre suspension components
Can be a handful in tight spots
SRAM SX drivetrain and Guide T brakes not favored
With the battery now hidden inside the 6066 alloy frame, the Meta AM Power casts a very similar shadow to the analogue bike.
MBRThe Meta Power TR is a versatile trail riding e-MTB at a very competitive price.
Outdoor Gear LabThis bike is long and slack, it feels great at speed and doesn't shy away from aggressive terrain.

The Commencal Meta Power Trail TR 29 impressed us with its ability to hang in terrain way above its class and at high speeds.
Polished aluminum finish
Wants to be pushed
Adjustable Geo
Hard Charging DH capability
Needs Volume Reducers
A bit long for everyday climbing and tight trails

With the Commencal Meta Power 29, you have the battery capacity and the power, but the elevated BB height perches the rider on top, rather than in the bike.
Rips up climbs
Mismatched suspension

The new Meta Power TR is equipped with Shimano's new EP8 motor with a 630Wh battery.

The 2021 Commencal META Power e-mountain bikes get clever design features to make the most of the latest 38mm forks & Shimano EP8 motors!
Dec 2019 · Felix Stix, Robin Schmitt, Jonas Müssig
The COMMENCAL META POWER 29 TEAM is the most affordable eMTB on test. Can it keep up with bikes costing almost twice as much?
Unbeatable value for money
Clever and robust spec
Excellent suspension and easy set-up
Poor finishing quality on the frame
Dropper post is difficult to operate
