Commencal Meta AM for trail?

Timmy666

Hi all,

I'm thinking about buying a Commencal Meta AM framekit, but I'm not sure that it's the right frame for me. I mostly ride trail, not so much all mountain stuff.
Will this frame work for me or is it a bit too much for my type of riding?

It's probably a bit overkill but you'll have fun with it.

My enduro is too much bike for most of the riding I do, I'd probably be better off with a Stumpy or even the Camber. If I could go back in time and buy a Stumpy instead then I probably would, but I still enjoy riding it. Saying that though I recently bought a 29er hardtail for when I want to do longer, smoother xc type stuff.

How about the meta SL? Or is the AM a good deal?

Cheers guys, I've got a great deal on the Meta AM framekit which makes it harder for me to decide

Think I'll go with the kit and sell it if I'm not happy.

ive just brought the meta am frame and built it up

have not had chance to ride it yet but its not the lightest of bikes

If you won't do any AM riding then you will just be riding a less efficient, heavier frame than you could be using. Get a frame to suit your riding not just the best deal weather it suits you or not.
Commencal give a pretty poor warranty as well, only 6 months where most other manufacturers give at least 2 years.
