META V5 - META SX V5: WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?
COMMENCAL META SX V5 RACE SPARKLY BLUE
Top-tier Suspension for New Zealand Conditions
Featuring a premium RockShox Zeb Ultimate fork with DebonAir+ and ButterCups tech, this bike absorbs every root, rock, and rugged surface thrown at it. Whether you’re dropping into the steep tracks of Nelson’s Codgers MTB Park or navigating Wairoa Gorge’s wild trails, the Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock provides fully adjustable compression, tailored for both smooth and demanding descents. Adjust your suspension to match the challenges of everything from Wellington’s muddy winter trails to sun-soaked alpine routes.
Braking Power Inspired by the Pros
Equipped with TRP DH-R Evo brakes—the same trusted by World Cup champion Amaury Pierron—these powerful 203mm rotors ensure peak stopping performance. Ideal for New Zealand’s unpredictable weather, these brakes maintain their efficiency through everything from Taupō’s dusty summers to Christchurch Adventure Park’s winter slush.
Versatile Drivetrain Built for Kiwi Terrain
With SRAM GX EAGLE’s 12-speed range, the META SX V5 is ready for the longest climbs and steepest drops across the North and South Islands. The 520% gear range is a game-changer, whether tackling Cardrona’s lift-accessed heights or pedaling up Wellington’s coastal ridgelines.
Optimised Wheels for NZ's Varied Trails
The CRANKBROTHERS Synthesis Enduro wheels bring the best of both worlds with enhanced grip upfront and stability in the rear—perfect for navigating Rotorua’s slippery geothermal trails or Te Mata Peak’s scenic descents. Paired with Maxxis Assegai EXO and Minion DHRII EXO+ tyres, this setup is engineered for New Zealand’s varied, technical terrain.
