Expirience with the Commencal META SX TEAM

Ludwig Döhl As a on very demanding single trails, the Commencal META SX TEAM ticks all the boxes. With 15,1 kg, the Commencal Enduro counts towards the lighter bikes in this price range. The competitors are sometimes heavier. The moderate 63,6 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. At a price of 5199 Euro , the competition usually installs lesser shifting components.
