The Meta Power SX uses Commencal's dual-link suspension layout and a Bosch SX motor.
Sep 2024 · Alex Evans
The top-spec Bosch-powered Meta is designed for aggressive riding
Great balanced geometry
Climbing performance impressive
Good motor power and battery life
Sorted specifications
Supreme when ridden aggressively
Puncture prone stock tyres
Not the smoothest suspension
Feels like less travel than claimed
Cruising isn t an option

Those of you that have been keeping up to date with the [R]evolution content of late being our printed magazine, YouTube Channel, Website and our social media platforms, would no doubt be aware that over the last few years we have been doing a bunch on kilometres aboard a broad range of e-MTB’s.

E-bikes are expensive, so we're always on the hunt for great values like the Commencal Meta Power TR 29 Ride. It's one of the least expensive eMTBs we've...
Reasonable price (relatively speaking)
Fun on a wide range of terrain
Confident descender
Solid distance range
Mediocre suspension components
SRAM SX drivetrain
Can be a handful in tight spots
Mar 2021
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
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.
Rips up climbs
Mismatched suspension

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
