Expirience with the Commencal META HT AM ORIGIN

Ludwig Döhl The META HT AM ORIGIN is a classic among trail hardtails. Robust, cheap, fun-oriented. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. On climbs, other bikes in the under 2000 Euro present a little better performance than the Commencal Hardtail. When viewing the 14,2 kg, its apparent: there are lighter All Mountains in this price range.
