Summary
The Commençal Meta SX is a versatile enduro bike that excels in high-speed stability and performance, with a design that balances playfulness and ruggedness. It features a refined frame and improved suspension kinematics, making it a strong contender in its category. However, its handling may require adaptation from riders, especially in tighter trails, and its geometry might not suit everyone.
High-speed stability
Versatile over a variety of terrain
Excellent value for money
Refined frame design
Improved suspension kinematics
Excessive handlebar flop on slower, techier trails
Slacker seat tube angle may not suit all riders
Longer rear end affects nimbleness
The Meta SX V5 is a beast of a bike that needs a warrior to fight it into submission.
This bike is FAST, we mean REALLY F*#KING FAST!

Watch the vid and read up on our thoughts!
