Expirience with the Commencal META V5 RACE

Ludwig Döhl Consistent successes in the Downhill World Cup make the Commencal brand almost a myth. And the META V5 RACE also remains true to the robust, downhill-loving approach of Commencal. With a flat 64,1 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. At a price of 5500 Euro , the competition usually installs lesser shifting components.
