Summary
The Commençal Meta TR is a trail bike that stands out for its burly yet precise ride, indestructible build, and no-nonsense performance. It features modern geometry, increased travel, and a suspension setup that offers remarkable rear wheel traction and a lively ride feel. While it excels in aggressive riding and technical trails, some reviews note a learning curve with suspension settings and a preference for more comfort on longer rides.
Burly yet precise ride
Indestructible build
Remarkable rear wheel traction
Modern geometry
Increased travel
Learning curve with suspension settings
Less comfortable for longer rides
Front tire choice questioned
It felt burly but rode precisely, and seemed downright indestructible.
BetaThe rear wheel traction is remarkable and completely unmatched.
BetaThe Meta TR is about as anti-mainstream and as rock ‘n’ roll as it gets for a 140mm travel ‘trail’ bike.

The Meta TR Staff Edition is a unique build that features the staff in Andorra's favourite frame and components.
Mar 2022 · Anthony Smith
Beta Photo Director, Anthony Smith, rolls the dice on a frame he's never ridden, and builds it into one of the most stunning all-metal dream builds we've ever seen.

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.
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
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
