Expirience with the Commencal META V5 ESSENTIAL

Ludwig Döhl Consistent successes in the Downhill World Cup make the Commencal brand almost a myth. And the META V5 ESSENTIAL also remains true to the robust, downhill-loving approach of Commencal. The combination of a 64,1 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Commencal, even if you ride fast. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on moderate runs should be considered pleasant.
