My back 2 back test: Pyga Pascoe vs Commencal Meta AM


Pikey

I took the 2 seat tube angles - 70 on pyga and 73 on common and then applied them to the top tube seeing which would have longer reach. Common takes it.

The meta definetly feels more stretched out.

Okay so to conclude the meta AM was just way better than the pascoe in this test review[emoji12] [emoji7] , and the meta SX is my next bike when the money tree in my yard starts shedding some $$$

ha ha not quite.

You honing in Caps ....

 

Both Large frames

 

Meta ST angle 73 deg, Pascoe 70 deg.

Meta ETT 620, Pascoe 627

The Pascoe's (actual) seat tube is 70º, but the virtual angle is 73º (BB to saddle rail) which is the same as the Meta's.

If you look at all those small differences between head angle, wheelbase etc. It all adds up to giving the one bike a better feel over the other.

Agreed ,but a better feel in different scenarios. The pascoe for me is definetly a better all rounder,one bike do it all sort of ride.
