- All new and redesigned Commencal Meta V5 T-Type Chalk. Full 29er, 160/150 travel. This is the top of the line build and in my opinion Commencal nailed it! This is what you get straight out of the box for $6200 USD. Stay tuned for two more videos to follow with this bike. Up next will be the ride review and finishing things off with an exciting announcement for those local to Southern California.

![[4K] Perfectly Balanced Commencal Meta v5 Review](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3WbcVcfGUcw/mqdefault.jpg)
Following :) My 14-year-old son rides for Commencal Australia and we recently built him up a custom Meta V5 in glittery black. It's a great bike so far. He's very impressed - though there is a little more noise from the rear triangle than we'd like (we're still working on that). According to a friend of ours who had an early prototype that he raced in EDR world cups this year, most of the Commencal Enduro Project riders run their bikes in the high position most of the time. I know they also run 170mm forks, but they seem to think it pedals better in that position, and with 28% sag, and fairly open compression/rebound settings for most tracks. I'd be interested to know your thoughts swapping between low and high. Good luck with it, and enjoy!
That's awesome about your son riding for Commencal Australia. First ride was simply getting acquainted with the bike. Getting more miles on it tomorrow and this coming weekend. Will definitely pay close attention what you've mentioned as well as the high/low setting. thanks for chiming in
Epic bike Milton!
Excited for the next 2 videos.
At one point we had all 5 members of our family on Commencal bikes!
Thanks man! That’s awesome. It’s cool that they make kid bikes with legit geometry
Looks sweet!!
I was hoping you would do a review of this bike. I want to buy this bike but need feedback on how good it is. I got the Meta TR after watching your video on it. The bike is great and you did a great review of it. I am leaning heavy towards getting a V5.
Im glad I get the opportunity to review it. I’ll got into a lot more detail in my review video soon but for now, after the first ride (13miles) I can honestly say the V5 combines the best characteristics of the TR and the AM. Feels like a trail bike but when the time comes to switch from fun to business- it does! Great climber also. But yea, a few more rides and I’ll have the complete review up. Appreciate the support
@@MILTONATOR great looking forward to watching your review.
Sheeeeesh! What a beautiful steed! Lookin forward to seeing some footy of you on that shred sled. Cheeooow! Ohh and that jersey is lookin FRESH!🤙
Thanks man! Mauna Ride Wear FTW 🤙
Happy birthday dude🎉,
Thanks man 🤜🤛
Dream bike right there
💯
Something exciting: Joe Moore works at Commencal and is riding distance to Greer.
Nice bike Milton? Do you still have the Norco? Or is this your new bike now? Ride safe and God bless always 🙏😊
Hey Alvin! Still have my Norco but my plan is to sell it and replace it with the Meta v5 😀 God bless bro
I'd be interested if I hadn't seen all the broken frame posts on the Commencal owners FB page. It's ridiculous how many frames break. I'm in the owners threat of Propain, YT, Transition and Canyon too. Canyon is also a mess but the others have nowhere near as many issues
Hi there, from my personal experience - I’m a long time Commencal fan (7yrs owned 5-6 different metas) and didn’t experience any such issues. I’m also a member of the Commencal owners fb group and just spent 10-15 mins searching for cracked frames and found a few but mostly older bikes. But I get what you’re saying, last year I was interested in Canyon and after scrolling through the owners fb group, I decided against it because of all the cracked frames being reported
Awesome video Milton! Can I hire you to edit my videos?
lol thanks man
Can you edit ours too?!?
@@3BrothersExtreme lol 🤘
The big change is the one less covered... the new Frame due to the totally redesigned rear suspension system. Replacing AM and TR approaches? What do you think, after riding both in the past?
Commencal’s new virtual contact system is a significant improvement. In my opinion the climbing is much better (more supportive) and there’s no need to lock out the shock at anytime. And going down, the bike feels very well balanced and grounded. I didn’t get a chance to weigh the bike, but the geometry makes it feel light weight and easy to ride. I personally prefer the v5 over any other prior version
@@MILTONATOR Industry pushes new models at a frequency that is higher than the average rider/user affordability. I get it, and I'm glad for those that can enjoy this steep innovation curve.
Commencal made a vpp bike 🤔 😁
Is that yours? Did you sell the Norco?
No. Not yet 😅 demo bike from Commencalusa but after the first ride, I will soon be listing my Norco for a Meta V5. I’ll explain more in the ride review video but in short, this bike is great
Curious to here what you think about the tyres. I believe in the straight line they're good. But through the turns you have to lean the bike a lot to gain grip. ( i had this problem with the dhf on front)
For sure. Too soon to tell
Yeah DHF has a dead spot
Comment se comporte t il face au commencal méta TR
what size did you get ? and how tall are you ? nice bike !!!
5’ 9” Medium 🤘
$6200.00 dollars. Well worth-it. In this economy rich always get more, there is no way I'm paying 6200, for a bike, that probably has a hundred-dollar, made-in-China, frame, and a 900 percent mark-up, of the actual price. Is it any wonder why no small bike shops exist in my home city. 6200 dollars. I been riding for 38 years, never owning a car. No way would I spend that much, not even 2000, on a bicycle. Not even Glenn Curtiss, would approve.
My friend, bikes are a lifestyle. I make the time to make the money to afford these bikes because it’s what I enjoy and bring me fulfillment. I’m not rich my any means but mtb is what I love so I’ll make a way to get the bike I want. Yes you are correct but don’t assume all bikers are like that because I’m just like you that dedicated a part of my self to this sport and so do many others
Just sold my YT Capra Core 1 and upgrading to either...

Hard decision
Oof! All good choices but I’m biased #metaV5 🫡
3mm thick rotors? Sure bud
Always appreciative of value added comments. Thanks bud
"Meta" not Mayta lol
compare to ripmo
From my experience the Ripmo is a bit more agile and more maneuverable but when the ride gets fast and rough, the Meta v5 feels more capable (the Ripmo v2 geo could use an upgrade. My opinion)
