Expirience with the Commencal META HT AM ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl The META HT AM ESSENTIAL is a classic among trail hardtails. Robust, cheap, fun-oriented. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Commencal Hardtail is a very balanced customer. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. In the price range of under 3000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Commencal Hardtail. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 14,2 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter.
