Expirience with the Commencal META SX OHLINS EDITION

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding on very demanding single trails, the Enduro of Commencal is an absolute banger. On the scale, the META SX OHLINS EDITION with 15,1 kg looks good. Most Enduro in the price range until under 6000 Euro are heavier. Commencal is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the META SX OHLINS EDITION. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. At a price of 5799 Euro , there is hardly any other manufacturer to spec such good shifting components.
