Commencal Meta AM goes 29er

 

 

Commencal's new 130mm-travel Meta AM29 sports a 68° head angle, 142x12mm rear axle, tapered head tube, ISCG tabs and routing for RockShox’s standard Reverb dropper post. Let's hope the Andorran company have ironed out the shock tune issues that marred our experience with the 26in version.

It'll be available in the US mid-May in a single top-level build for roughly $4,500. More models and a frameset ($1,800 without shock) will become available later in the year. UK pricing and availability is still to be confirmed.
