When we developed the META TR 29, our intentions were clear - to make a bike that performs very well uphill but that also retains the COMMENCAL downhill DNA. We got the result we wanted thanks to a few key points:
- Large 29-inch wheels.
- Reworked and modifiable kinematics making the bike more dynamic.
- A straighter seat angle (and reduced offset).
The result is a particularly harmonious bike, a formidable pedaller and ideal companion for long active rides. The TR is seamlessly capable of transcending from uphill to downhill and soaking up all types of lumps and bumps in between. Thanks to 140mm of rear travel and the 150mm or 160mm fork, it tackles most obstacles without hesitation. Plus, the TR shows liveness and is playful when it comes to the terrain and pumping for speed etc. Mike Kazimer, reporter at Pinkbike, describes the META TR 29 as one of the funnest bikes he's ridden!
The stiffness of the frame is always the subject of much attention.
The use of double-row Enduro Bearings allows a more homogeneous deformation of the frame without the loss of stiffness via the bearings.
In addition to all this in-depth work, like on our META POWER TR, META SX and CLASH bikes, we now offer a Flip Chip on the shock absorber extension in order to more acutely adjust the geometry, and therefore fit your personal style! This system means you can influence the height of the bottom bracket as well as the steerer and saddle angles within seconds. Depending on what you want, effectively, you can choose between a lively bike perfect for big pedalling missions, or more progressive bike ideal for days in bike park or on more committed lines.
About the META TR SIGNATURE HIGH POLISHED
The META TR 29 SIGNATURE has been designed to highlight the high-end components that adorn it. The paint job is classy and refined and gives pride of place to the suspension, wheels and transmission that make this bike a real collector's item!
Beyond its good looks, this top-notch build is made to make the most of its characteristics. Suspension-wise, the FOX 36 Factory fork with Kashima treatment is a must for strength, unequalled liveliness and ease of adjustment. The FOX Float X2 Factory shock is also the best, especially in terms of quality and performance, thanks to its numerous functions and oversized air spring. The high-end suspension combo on this META TR 29 makes it a dream up and down, and this is also thanks to the 160mm travel! SHIMANO XT takes care of transmission and braking. They lead the way for reliability and consistency. For the wheels, which are another essential component of a high-end bike, DT SWISS XM1700 Spline make an appearance and their excellent weight/dynamism/reliability ratio immediately shouted out to us.
