Nice bike.Did a 25 km trail yesterday. All in ECO with 55 km range left.
I’m still liking this bike

The last longish ride I did was 40 km there was still one bar left , sorry I can't remember what the range left was . The ride was mostly in trail with a couple of full power boosts .Nice bike.
Have you done a range test? how far do you think you could go on one battery?
I'm looking at the signature edition meta power, just curious how far that Shimano battery will propel you on a long bike ride.
Range is a difficult question - I myself asked in this forum before being an eMTB owner. My riding terrain is not mountains but a load of hills, so a “long” grind to the top is usually not more than vertical 75 meters. However on a full ride it can get to 1000 meters on a distance of 25 - 30 km’s. I’ve only once managed to use all the range, which was 1000 meters of climb on a two rides of a total of 30 km, pushing it in trail mode. Usually I get 1000 meters / 30 km’s in trail mode running down to 30-40% range left. It of course depends on your settings, but my settings are 90% assist on 70Nm in trail mode, I have a little less in eco mode, which is 50% assist on 50Nm, I rarely use boost mode, but I could turn it somewhat down as with the other settings to get another useful setting. According to the Steps system itself is claims 85 km I eco mode, 65 in trail and 45 in boost, but I suspect they are pretty optimistc. By the way I have an EU restricted version of the 2020 Teams model.Nice bike.

You’re quite right that you get much more bike for your money on the Commencal, and i reckon you won’t be disappointe. As you’d see in an earlier post from me, it won the “Best value” in competition with the Levo S-works which won for the best eMTB.Thanks for that mate.
Demo rode a Levo Comp with the 7000 battery, did 2000M Vert & 61km was amazing.
Commencal so much more bike for your money compared to a levo.
Thanks again
Would have to agree. If anybody asks me, right now I recommend this bike as possibly, arguably the best value quality emtb available in Australia.You’re quite right that you get much more bike for your money on the Commencal, and i reckon you won’t be disappointe.

Go for it, it’s an awesome rig - I for sure am happy about my choiceWow that is a killer build for the price, Commencal NZ is based in my home city, definitely arranging a demo.
Yes, it was exactly what I meant. Do remember to clean it occasionally as it also packs a lot of dirt.Fitted this bike yoke a month a two ago and it really has made the gear changing so much more consistent when the bike absolutely shite up during winter rides,think it was trail Niels that mentioned it,thanks?

Funny, I got the exact same 35mm Horizon stem, only mine is red to go with the red pedals and forkHaven’t been out properly for over two weeks as the weather and family things hasn’t been great,managed to get a few hours today to give the beast a bit of maintenance and some new parts,haven’t properly cleaned the show bits of the bike but cleaned and lubed the transmission brakes pivots etc,also removed a lot of sludge out of the seat tube which I’ve now put some old inner tube over to hopefully reduce this,fitted new front Mudhugger shorty guard as the last one was stopping the fork travel by 20mm,fitted a new 35mm reach stem and some new hopefully stronger stamp pedals as my ride Alfa ones have had a hard life?might invest in a 200mm SRAM centreline rotor as the cleanscreech avid one is scored and been straightened so many times!

I was so tempted in red myself I ended up tossing a coin because I wasn’t getting anywhere with my decision making?the Mech mod is great because I can now remove it to clean?Funny, I got the exact same 35mm Horizon stem, only mine is red to go with the red pedals and fork
I’ve been running centerline rotors for ages on my analogue bike, the are great - and have stayed trueView attachment 26384 View attachment 26385
Might try and sand and straighten this one for a spare,hope the centreline stays true for longer?
What bottle cage you using? the space it tight and have tried a couple which rub the shockView attachment 26467 went ahead and put a 29 front wheel on my SX a while ago. nothing but good, gonna keep it on!

tried a few different er nt ones but found this worked best. paired with a Camelback bottle.

Never tried a Levo, could be nice if you could give a short comparison, not that I’d give up my 2020 Meta Power TeamDemo booked in for next Friday, 2020 Meta power team 29. See how the beast compares to the levo, quite excited.

Love my Signature. nice brakes and shocks. Cool colour too.Got to demo the Meta power 29, my friend demoed a Levo at the same time which makes for a good comparison.
On the climbs the bikes were evenly matched, I liked the little display the Shimano system has, motor noise is louder but it didn’t bother me at all, we climbed up a mix of steep fire road and single track, I kept the meta in trail for 90% of the ride.
On the downhill is where the Meta comes alive, this bike rips, we rode a good mix of trails, steep / flow / jump lines, the meta ate it all up, bike felt like my Transition Patrol, didn’t feel like an ebike at all.
My friend on the Levo wasn’t having so much fun, the model was specd with brakes from SRAMs disappointment series, guide r which have the clamping power of an elderly relative holding your hand & NX group set that has more flex than a Russian gymnast on gear, (I’m a Shimano fan)
We rode 6 laps of Victoria Park NZ, both bikes had 500wh batteries, the Levo noticeably lost power near the end of its battery, the meta kept its power right to the end.
We did 16 km and 1166 vertical metres, climbs are steep hence the poor battery range & we kept the bikes in turbo / trail since rain was on the way.
End result, Meta wins over the Levo, perfect for downhill runs, as a trail bike for bigger rides, I’m unsure, would need more time on the bike.
So I’m down to either the Meta Signature or Trek Rail 9.8
