Commencal Meta HT AM Race review

May 2017 · Guy Kesteven

Bombproof big-control front end at a small price, but brutally stiff and reach is short. Buy if you like your hardtails to be as hard and stiff as possible, and are happy with a shorter reach

Highs
  • Top-quality fork and sorted kit for the cash, super-confident slack angle, big bar steering

Lows
  • Brutally stiff rear end upsets dynamic balance and control of the ride, short-reach frame by the latest standards, QR rear axle
