Commencal Meta AM 2

free

Has anyone ridden the new Meta AM. I'm thinking about treating myself to one for Crimbo but I'm yet to see one on the trails anywhere. I've got a Supreme DH for Downhill duties but am looking at the AM as a take anywhere, do anything sort of bike.

The spec looks good, the reviews have been good and the price seems right. Anyone own one?

I haven't....it has mixed reviews to be honest BR rated it as three stars...obviously your a fan of the Commy's but I would cenrtinaly look at the Remedy 8

You could save a grand and get something like this

Some interesting options there.

I've got a Spesh Camber Expert for XC/light trail duties but I'm looking for a real all mountain bike, particularly as I'm doing some gravity Enduro next year.

I seem to have ended up with two bikes at very opposite ends of the scale. The Supreme is my full on DH beast where as the Camber holds its own on long epic rides. So when I find myself going to new spots, finding some trails and wishing i'd got my Supreme with me or vice-vera. So the AM seemed to fit the do everything gap I've been looking for.

I'm open to other suggestions though. I'm not a Commencal die hard.

I would deffo try a Remedy, I have ridden one and they are fantastic...the Devinci's from Freeborn are worth consideration...

Others Mondraker Foxy,and the Lapierre Spicy..

For a budget of just under £3k, you could also do a nice custom build...with deals on frames such as the Transition Covert and Tomac Snyper being available for abround a grand

I've got a 2011 enduro and as a take anywhere, do anything tool, it is fantastic.

I'd say Yeti SB-66 but you'll struggle to get one. Spicy's also nice. How about the Ibis Mojo?
