META TR 29: The best of both worlds!

Whilst collecting a number of awards in the press ('Best Trail Bike under $3,000' from Pinkbike and 'Trail Bike of the Year' from MBUK),

the META TR 29 is now taking things a step further.

How do you make a high-performance-uphill bike whilst keeping the COMMENCAL DNA when it's time to go down the hill?

This is the challenge that we set our engineers.
And the results are amazing!

GEOMETRY

Thanks to 29-inch wheels, kinematics that make the bike even more dynamic and a straighter seat tube angle with reduced offset,
the META TR 29 is formidable through any pedalling sections.

As soon as you get to the top and you've hurried to take that inevitable selfie, you'll be ready to take on the most daunting trails.

The 140mm rear travel and 150mm or 160mm fork up front will give you that extra confidence
which will make all the difference when things get tough.

TECH

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.
Aesthetically, the frame has evolved in depth.
It's very simple, everything is new!

Notably, the sharper lines highlight improved performance.
Equipped with super tyres and brakes, the new META TR 29 is certainly not just a more comfortable XC bike but rather clearly,
a 'mini-enduro' which pushes the standards of agility and dynamism even further.

KEY POINTS

Geometry

The new META TR 29 is longer: 490mm reach (size large) vs 475mm on the old META TR 29.
The seat angle is straighter: 78.6° vs 76.5°
Direction angle more lying down: 64.5° vs 66.5°
Short fork offset

Optimised kinematics

More vitality
Less leg fatigue

In addition to all this in-depth work, like on our META POWER TR and META SX 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.

Travel

140mm rear
150 or 160mm on the front

Finish

Better cable routing
Easier bottle cage installation

Shape

Easy assembly and disassembly of the contact system
Stiffer and more reliable double-row Enduro Bearings
More of a compact rear triangle for less interference with rider's heels and calves
Lower seat tube :
- Makes it possible to mount a telescopic seat post with large travel (34.9mm diameter)
- Maximum insertion length
