SIMPLICITY IS KEY
SIMPLICITY IS KEY
Riding a hardtail is a state of mind. It’s all about putting the joy of riding at the centre of the experience, without any gimmicks. This third version of the META HT has been freshened up thanks to:
- A completely redesigned aluminium frame to improve comfort.
- New geometry designed to inspire confidence.
- New frame protection for carefree riding on all types of trails.

A COMPLETELY REVISED FRAME
A COMPLETELY REVISED FRAME
The design brief for the META HT V3 was clear:
- Keep the DNA that makes the META HT the benchmark in its category.
- Optimise crucial elements such as comfort and pedalling position.
Curved and rounded seat stays connect directly to the top tube without a bridge, offering an unprecedented level of comfort for a hardtail.
The new ZS56/ZS56 standard head tube allows the use of angle-set or offset headsets.
The brake calliper is protected between the seat stay and the chain stay.
Now UDH compatible for use with the latest SRAM T-Type drivetrain.
The bottom bracket retains the BSA standard for easier maintenance.
The 29" wheels paired with wide tyres (up to 67mm wide) add even more comfort and tolerance to the drivetrain. The size S features a 27.5" rear wheel to maintain manoeuvrability and tyre clearance, especially on steeper terrain.
Our META HT bikes are sloping, with short seat tubes for increased mobility and to install a long-travel seat post. Depending on your inseam length, you can opt for the larger size to enhance high-speed stability.
The META HT seat stays are connected to the top tube. This solution allows internal routing of the derailleur and brake hoses through the entire length of the frame.
The META HT inherits a dual-density rubber chain stay protector and a seat stay protector which guarantee excellent frame protection and no annoying noises.
Depending on the size of the bike, the META HT features differentiated wheels for different behaviour adapted to each size. The S and M models have a mullet (29/27.5-inch) wheel combo where the L and XL sizes have a complete 29-inch wheelset.

RIDE-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
RIDE-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY
The behaviour of a hardtail is completely different to a full-suspension bike, which is why we designed its geometry specifically.
REACH
REACH
The reach has been slightly extended to provide greater stability while maintaining agility during weight transfer on slopes.
HEAD ANGLE
HEAD ANGLE
The 64.5mm head angle allows for confident riding on any trail, while facilitating front-end grip on flatter trails.
SEAT ANGLE
SEAT ANGLE
A steeper seat tube angle boosts pedalling efficiency uphill. On L/XL sizes, the seat tube has been shortened to allow for more freedom of movement on the bike.
CHAIN STAYS

The chain stays are short (430mm) to facilitate rear wheel placement and maintain the playful character of a hardtail.

AN IMPECCABLE FINISH
AN IMPECCABLE FINISH
The META HT V3 benefits from numerous aesthetic and, more importantly, functional improvements:
A new wide and effective downtube protector shields the frame from front wheel debris.
The specific chain stay protector uses dual-density material to reduce noise and provide excellent frame protection.
A chain-suck guard is factory-fitted to protect the chain stay.
The frame also now features two mounts for attaching bottles or tools, including a pre-installed FIDLOCK mount.

The reliability of our products has always been a priority. In addition to our own tests, we decided to put the META HT V3 to the test at EFBE. An independent laboratory that offers tests above the ISO 4210 standard.
The META HT V3 frame is therefore EFBE 5 certified. Specific to gravity and e-bike practices, it is the highest possible classification for a mountain bike in terms of reliability and resistance.
