Expirience with the Commencal META TR ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Commencal All Mountain into consideration. With a 64,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Commencal META TR ESSENTIAL, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent.
