META V5 - META SX V5: WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?
COMMENCAL META SX V5 ESSENTIAL CLEAR SILVER – Built for NZ’s Steepest Terrain
At the heart of the META SX V5 ESSENTIAL is FOX suspension, purpose-built for Kiwi terrain. Up front, the FOX 38 Float Performance fork features a three-position GRIP cartridge, offering superb adjustability to handle everything from technical descents to fast-flowing runs at the Christchurch Adventure Park. On the rear, the FOX Float X2 Performance with a large air chamber ensures unmatched control and stability, perfect for New Zealand's mixed trail conditions.
The drivetrain and brakes, handled by the trusted Shimano SLX 12-speed groupset, offer reliable performance on long, demanding rides like The Pioneer. With the DT Swiss E 532 tubeless-ready rims and MAXXIS Minion DHRII tyres, you’re equipped to grip through native forest in Whakarewarewa and tear through the rocky flats at Alexandra’s Flat Top Hill.
