CHECK OUT THE META V5

The META V5 is our vision of MTB. It's a bike that's easy to handle, balanced, technically sound, lively, playful and pedal-efficient thanks to the new Virtual Contact System (VCS) kinematics. With 150 mm travel the META V5 can be ridden whatever the mood of the moment and the rider can be confident that it will overcome any type of terrain. Sometimes a race bike, sometimes a trail bike, the META V5 is synonymous with versatility and ease, without neglecting performance.

META V5 - META SX V5: WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?


COMMENCAL META V5 STAFF EDITION

With 160 mm travel at the front, 140 mm on the back, plus its 29'' wheels, the META V5 STAFF EDITION is fun on technical trails close to home, in the bike park for a few laps, or at the start of an enduro race.

For many of our staff, the FOX 38 Factory is the best enduro fork right now. It is sensitive, offers precise control and the GRIP 2 hydraulic cartridge is easy to adjust. Without forgetting the fork leg decompression valves which ensure optimal operation at all times.

The FOX Float X2 Factory is the shock used by our downhill race teams. Its large air volume gives it the linearity and feel of a coil spring. It can be locked out using a dial to make pedalling more efficient.

SHIMANO take care of braking with the sumptuous XTR set. The four-piston calipers with 203 mm discs provide maximum power.

The SRAM X01 Eagle drive is reliable, precise, and quiet. The 10-52t cassette makes for easier climbing everywhere.

In addition to being understated classy, the RENTHAL cockpit is the best in terms of shape.

The CRANKBROTHERS Synthesis Enduro 11 Carbon wheels benefit from carbon rims with differentiated stiffness to optimize grip and handling at the front and performance and stability on the back. INDUSTRY NINE HYDRA hubs are a benchmark. They offer the best performance/lifespan/comfort ratio and are raced by the COMMENCAL Enduro Project team.

To provide maximum grip for this META V5 we chose a pair of SCHWALBE Magic Mary tyres with Super Trail casing and ultra-soft rubber.

Size guide

What Size to Choose?

According to your riding style, choose a bike with a shorter Reach for more responsive and intuitive handling, or one with a longer Reach for more stability and confidence at high speeds. On a longer model, the front wheel is positioned farther forward, giving an enhanced feeling of security but at the expense of maneuverability and requiring more effort to move the bike.

Between Two Sizes?

When you find yourself between two sizes, the ideal solution is to test ride both to see which fits you best. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible. At minimum, check the Reach and Stack measurements of your current bike to compare them with those of the model you're considering. This will give you a better idea of which size to choose and how the position will feel once on the bike. You can also follow the advice below.

Morphology

Body proportions vary from person to person, even at identical heights. If you have long legs and a shorter-than-average torso, you might consider choosing a bike with a shorter Reach than the recommended size. Conversely, if you have long arms and a more developed upper body, the larger size might be better suited to your morphology. Ideally, you should try before you choose.

Suspension settings

Our kinematics are the result of advanced engineering for optimal working harmony of front and rear suspension with our bikes.

This guide is aimed to help understand exactly how things work and set everything up so that your COMMENCAL functions in the best way.
