Expirience with the Commencal META SX SIGNATURE

Ludwig Döhl When it comes to riding on moderate runs, the Commencal Enduro feels really good. With 15,1 kg, the Commencal Enduro counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. Commencal is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Commencal META SX SIGNATURE, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The META SX SIGNATURE shows what its capable of in the downhill.
