Expirience with the Commencal META SX V5 ESSENTIAL 1

Ludwig Döhl The META SX V5 ESSENTIAL 1 is the Enduro of downhill superstar Amaury Pierron. The chic aluminum frame can withstand even a rough pace. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the META SX V5 ESSENTIAL 1 is a very balanced customer. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on extremely technical trails should be considered pleasant. But the META SX V5 ESSENTIAL 1 still holds an ace op its sleeve: compared to the direct market environment, it has a significantly better suspension.
