Reme Le Hane Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I was looking out a new bikes and spec for price the Pyga won out, until today when the prices shot up, now it’s R4 less than the AM Team. To the less experienced me, the Meta looks to be the better option spec wise, bike shop being 10km vs 60km from my house also helps. Going to demo a Meta later, see how it feels, but any insight would be great.

Jewbacca Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I won't lie, I read this post 4 times and still have no idea what it means
Kuys Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Which model Meta are you looking at? I ride a Slakine. Havent ridden 'n Meta yet so cannot compare. But super happy with my Slakline. One of my biggest reasons was local support for whicg the Pyga guys are tops. Again dont know about the local Commencal support, sustainability etc.
DR ◣◢ Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I won't lie, I read this post 4 times and still have no idea what it means5 times for me. What I understand is that the Pyga is R4 cheaper?
Johnny Lawless Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Not exactly the same choice but my friend had the Meta AM and Hyrax for weekend. He went with the Meta as he decided he wants an enduro rig so with the suspension travel difference ot wasn’t really a fair fight. I’m a big fan of Pyga but that Commencal sure is a tasty machine as well. Tough one.
Meezo Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Meta all day every dayYep! Waiting to get all my parts to finish mine.Niko has been amazing in getting me a size and colour that was not available in the country. I'm biased, but never been a pyga fan

Hopefully before the end of 2020 I'll have it built up
Redrush Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Commencal all day. I have a HT AM, Niko was extremely helpful.My next bike will ten to one be a Commencal again.
Kuys Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Sheeze, I almost feel intimidated with all the Commie fanboys
Meezo Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 But but but local? YawnUnfortunately in my XC days bad experiences with the then guys to look up to had put me off the brand... Local if affordable sure... Ask Lyne Components I'm a big advocate
Reme Le Hane Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 OP Spill the beans! Nico was extremely helpful with this and that was also partially a deciding factor, I emails Pyga a few weeks back and got a quick response to that, but my 2 subsequent replies to that mail have gone unanswered. Nico on the other hand replied to my first message after 9pm the evening and all follow ups where really quick. Personally, I never want to struggle or have to chase people to give them money, and 80 grand is not pocket change, my last email to pyga was “I want to buy the bike, what is the lead time and process”. First ride will be tomorrow, this morning I’ll just hit the mini trail down the road to tune all the bits.
floatfox Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 Pyga has great products but their current way of trading isnt great. Friend of mine bought a Pyga and waited more than 2 weeks for the bike.

I want a a Commencal just so I can shout "INTO THE GNAR" everytime I go riding.... P.S. I say that every time I go riding anyway, but it would be WAY cooler if I had a Commencal
