Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the FOX Float X2 Factory rear shock model, which has a travel of 160mm. 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 size
When it comes to wheels, the META SX bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The META SX has 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, your safety is in good hands.
Dropper post
The Commençal model is also equipped with 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.
