At first I rather fancied the black/white, but now looking again I have a second impression:Signature black/white available for pre-order.
They obviously photoshopped the picture from the team edition with the wrong dropper, sloppy....

A 3 minute Photoshop job would have been better than the one on the website. Wrong rear tyre, wrong cranks, disk and dropper. Don't know why they did start with the original pics. Anyway, this is closer I would think unless they are changing the spec.Signature black/white available for pre-order.

Fair comment, I didn't re-read that description. As someone who has pre-ordered this bike I didn't like the confusion of a possible spec change, don't mind the colour change though, in fact I think I prefer it.Fitst line of the description does state « The image of this model is not a photo but in fact a 3D representation. The studio photos with the specs listed below will be available very shortly »
Still bit sloppy, thanks for work you did, must say that with the golden kashima parts the black & white one does look better then full black components on the team one.
And they won’t be changing the spec, that would be incorrect to the people who pre-order now
Curious what you bought instead?Depends on frame size and model if it says FEB then it is FEB, I spoke with them today too and decided to pull my preorder as I found another bike in stock locally and can have it friday
2021 giant trance x e1..... Not the same style of bike exactly, but form the sounds of it it seems like a good do it all bike, now with a big battery and a reliable yamaha motor. And decent spec for the price .Curious what you bought instead?

Agreed. I want a Kenevo SL, but swapped over to the 2021 Commencal due to availability, which is a completely different bike. Will hopefully end up keeping the Commencal for at least a year.It's interesting to me seeing ppl swap between bikes due to limited availability. I decided on the geo, travel, and then price I wanted before I picked the bike I wanted. Then I wanted to make sure the brand had good customer support. That's how I decided on the bike I wanted. It seems impatience has people swapping to completely different bikes.

Anybody? Please support!Hello mates, please support choosing the right size for a 2021 Meta Power 29"
I'm 188cm (6´2") tall and 91cm (3´) inseam, just between L and XL.
Extreme angles suggest me to go for XL as reach is not that big, just enough to compensate the steep seat angle.
I'm afraid to feel size L small, while also afraid XL to be sluggish and difficult to move on twisty alpine singletracks, due to the massive wheelbase and extra weight of the ebike.
As a reference, I ride a 2019 XL Orbea Rallon and feel is the right size for me, bike is nimble and playful.
Below geometries compared. Thanks for your support!

Take a trip over the pond, only £4792 here Signature is £5411i spoke to Commencal yesterday and they've confirmed the Meta powers are ready to ship from their French warehouse, but Shimano are replacing all motors first. they are still set for December deliveries.
im 6ft and im going to go for a Meta Power SX 21 Race.
Commencal store is £5900 for the bike. Wiggle and Chain Reaction show them for sale at £5500 but out of stock or currently not available, im imagine due to the EP8 motor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where else to pre order one from in the UK that might possibly be a bit cheaper than the Commencal Store? i think the conversion rate is from Euro to £ is what's making the Commencal Store seem more expensive..?
Give the guys a Bike and Spanner a call, they sorted me a great deal when I bought my 2020 SXi spoke to Commencal yesterday and they've confirmed the Meta powers are ready to ship from their French warehouse, but Shimano are replacing all motors first. they are still set for December deliveries.

I ordered my 2020 sx signature from Bike&Spanner too, even though I'm located in Finland. Great service.Give the guys a Bike and Spanner a call, they sorted me a great deal when I bought my 2020 SX

Really great to here your thoughts on the subject.I guess it depends on where you are in the sport, if you have something to ride currently, and what you already know you want..
I visited a LBS yesterday to get a lead time on a trek rail as my reserved focus sam2 has now been pushed back to February & the ep8 situation has put me right off the meta power. Bike shop owner only stocks Bosch e-bikes just now but wants a shimano alternative for his customers. He’s had an order with Merida for their new ep8 bikes for a while now. He told me he’d spoken to the Merida UK head honcho this week. They had originally told him December as well but they have now revised that with “delivery date unknown” I can’t verify this but his info supposedly from the Merida guy is that the component which is causing the problem is still failing under test. If your an optimist you’ll maybe still go with December, a realist probably early 2021, a pessimist ??. I’ve been waiting to buy since May & im not waiting any longer so I’ve reluctantly given up on the meta power & sam2 & bought a trek rail 9.8xt. Delivery next week.Any news regarding EP8 delivery?
Check out the website...Öhlins edition...couldn't resist too pull the trigger
now the long wait...
I like the polish as well, the other thing is that it is 1kg lighter than the Signature with Fox factory.Very cool. Love the polish. I dont have any idea how Ohlins compare to Fox Factory. Dont see much of that brand here.
Just noticed the different in Fox components color scheme on the Signature. The new one has black stealth graphics, the original in orange. Random? Are newer versions a different color scheme?
