Overview of components
Fork
This bike has the RockShox Pike RC fork installed. The fork’s travel is 140mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the ROCKSHOX SUPER DELUXE RCT rear shock model, which has a travel of 130mm. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. To sum up, always consider getting a bike that has a rear shock as well.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the META TRAIL 29 RACE model has 29″ aluminum wheels. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The META TRAIL 29 RACE comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
There are 4 sizes available for this model. Rider height can be anywhere between 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, you can easily find one that suits you.
Dropper post
Commençal META TRAIL 29 RACE includes a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
