Expirience with the Commencal META V5 SIGNATURE

Ludwig Döhl Consistent successes in the Downhill World Cup make the Commencal brand almost a myth. And the META V5 SIGNATURE also remains true to the robust, downhill-loving approach of Commencal. The flat 64,1 degree head tube angle of the Enduro von Commencal oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Commencal META V5 SIGNATURE wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Commencal knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 6000 Euro .
