  • Confident descender

  • Solid distance range

Lows

  • Adjustable Geo

  • Hard Charging DH capability

Commencal Meta Power 29 Essential e-bike review - MBR

Feb 2021 · Alan Muldoon

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.

Highs
  • Rips up climbs

Lows
  • Mismatched suspension

COMMENCAL META POWER 29 TEAM in Review

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?

Highs
  • Unbeatable value for money

  • Clever and robust spec

  • Excellent suspension and easy set-up

Lows
  • Poor finishing quality on the frame

  • Dropper post is difficult to operate
