Commencal Meta TR 29 Review | The aggressive all-metal Andorran

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.

Highs
  • 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

Lows
  • 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

Highs
  • Solid, ready for anything feel

  • Excellent descender

  • Comfortable climbing position helps hide some of the heft

Lows
  • On the heavier side of the spectrum for this category

  • A few parts picks don't match the bike's abilities
