Summary

The Commençal Meta TR is a trail bike that stands out for its burly yet precise ride, indestructible build, and geometry that hits the sweet spot for aggressive trail riding. It features improved suspension with 140mm rear and 150mm front travel, slacker headtube angles, and a roomier design for better comfort and handling. While it excels in steep climbs and descents, some reviews note a learning curve with suspension settings and a preference for more comfort on regular trails.

Pros
  • Burly yet precise ride

  • Indestructible build

  • Sweet spot geometry

  • Improved suspension and travel

  • Roomy design for better comfort

Cons
  • Learning curve with suspension settings

  • Less comfortable for regular trail riding

  • Front tire choice questioned

Key Quotes
It felt burly but rode precisely, and seemed downright indestructible.

Commencal just dropped that kind of trailer.
BIKE Magazine logoBIKE Magazine
The Meta TR is about as anti-mainstream and as rock ‘n’ roll as it gets for a 140mm travel ‘trail’ bike.

Jan 2021

Featuring a tough alloy chassis and envelope-pushing geometry, the Commencal Meta TR 29 ain't no mainstream teeny-bopper trail bike.

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
