No it would be very irresponsible to finance a Honda... Buy a proper bike

Dude no time to make a cable tie box.

Anyone have a review on the Leatt DBX 3.0? Or recommendations for a flat pedal shoe "on a budget"?

DMR V8's are around your budget, strong and they grip well. Using them on my hardtail with no complaints.

Those berms look prime. The track looks awesome man

Finally got back on the bike after a few weeks. The walk/session up and down the hill multiple times was definitely worth it, after the first bomb down the hill the fatigue and minor babelaas disappeared The Commencal Meta HT does not stop impressing me. Also the full face does inspire more skill than i have but does allow the limits to be pushed here and there.

Commencal all day. I have a HT AM, Niko was extremely helpful. My next bike will ten to one be a Commencal again.

Its next week

Go 2.5 on the tyres that extra meat helps alot and it feels like it can go over/through anything

Been following this thread since post #1. Tell the people what they want to know.

Baakens valley Port Elizabeth. Next stop Crossways just out of PE. Keen for the down hill, not so much the up hill

Is yours a 2018 Meta? The 2018 seem to have a lower seat tube. I've got a 2019 and my one gripe with the frame is the seat tube height. Ive got a 120mm dropper on it and its just suits me. I contemplated chopping some of the seat tube off but i decided against it.

Hows the seat tube on your meta so low?

Commencal Meta HT AM essential or race available out of cape town. I got one in October and i love the thing its got some chunky tyres and its super playful. You can get the 2019 at a decent price. https://www.commencal-store.co.za/meta-ht-am-essential-c2x26867483

Will they take a moderately used kidney as payment?

RIP dude that mamba has got you now

Awesome Bike! Got my HT meta last year and I'm loving it.

Fox Proframe

They are 2.6'' Veetireco flow snaps. Came with the bike, all the grip in the world but they aren't tubeless ready (because of the skinwall) loving them though.

Here she is after the first ride and baby downhill. The bike feels amazing with its wide tyres and awesome fork.

The box (+ bike) is in cpt still. It is an AM essential. Complete overkill but why not.

So after months of flip flopping between buying a slade trial or building a dartmoor back to buying a slade. I did the logical thing and bought a Commencal. Now I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas

I feel you, im trying to justify to myself to buy the Meta HT essential
