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

COMMENCALMETA SX V5 ESSENTIAL SILVER - Built for Australia’s Gnarliest Trails

Precision Suspension with FOX Performance

For top-notch control across varied Aussie terrain, the META SX V5 is equipped with FOX suspension components. Up front, the 38 Float Performance fork features a three-position GRIP cartridge, allowing you to adjust on the fly for anything from technical, rocky paths at You Yangs to long, smooth descents. At the rear, the FOX Float X2 Performance shock with its oversized air chamber and adjustable rebound ensures you stay stable on rapid-fire descents.

Reliable Shimano SLX Drivetrain and Brakes

Built to last, the Shimano SLX 12-speed drivetrain keeps you shifting seamlessly on both brutal climbs and fast-flowing flats. Shimano’s reliable 4-piston calliper brakes deliver powerful stopping power that’s invaluable when ripping through tight turns at Fox Creek or tackling technical rock gardens at Stromlo.

DT Swiss Wheels & Maxxis Tyres for Ultimate Durability

Featuring DT Swiss E 532 rims paired with sturdy Formula hubs, this setup handles the rough and rowdy with ease. The MAXXIS Minion DHRII tyres with EXO casing offer excellent grip and durability across Australia’s mixed terrains, from Tassie’s slick forest tracks to the sandy trails of South Australia.

Whether you’re tackling the iconic trails of Blue Derby or the sun-baked singletracks of Queensland, the META SX V5 ESSENTIAL is your ultimate Australian enduro companion.

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.
