ive been hearing that the commencal meta 6 isnt as good as it could be...however does anyone have any opinions on it?
Also any other bikes similar to it in the same kind of price range (1500-2000) which are better than the commencal? thanks

"goughie"......sounds like someone i know,
yeh i have heard the frame isnt great and can even BREAK soo depends on your sort of riding really.
I have a giant trance x3 which is the best bike in the whole entire world!! I recently used it in the Red Bulll Rampage and it was fine,,,You should get it in my opinion......
well good luck with your bike searching "GOUGHIE"!!!! hahahahahahahahaGiant trance x30 -
Each to their own. Any frame can break, I know someone who races downhill on a Meta 55 frame, what you normally see is the white paint cracking. I had a demo on a Trance X before I bought my Meta, it felt effcient but dead and no fun at all.
What riding is it you want it for? If it's general trail riding the 5.5 might suit you better, if it's for freeride/DH I'd go for something heavier, if it's endurance I'd go for a Super 4 . It's a bit of an oddball in my opinion.
There's a review of the 5.5.1 in this months MBR if you're interested, Merlin sell them with £700 off RRP and finance options.0 -
