I will have a New In Box Signature Meta Power 29 in the now unobtainable color Electric Lagoon/White (think of the rarity!) available for sale on Friday for the bargain price of just $14,000! What a deal! Why wait?You guys are killing me!!! I gotta wait till next year!!!
I ordered early, not sure when, but just a few hours later they were no longer available.When was the first day you could pre-order?
Ordered mine Sept 4 at around noon. By 2pm they were no longer available (large Signature)Couple days after announcement, September 2nd as far as I remember.
This is my 3rd bike from Commencal, always stuck with Large even though reach keeps getting longer (460mm -> 470mm -> 475mm), and top tube shorter (625mm -> 625mm -> 614mm)Anyone else confused by the geometry?
Reach and stack seem to fit, but the TT seems super short (cause STA is so steep). I wonder if I should choose the frame size primarily by the reach I like (size s) or by TT length and sizing table (m at 1,71m).
Anyone else stuck between two sizes?
The only other Commencal I own is a 2017 Furious in size m. Compared by the numbers it seems tiny (even if you compare it with the size s Meta Power SX). So size m SX seems way off for me, but I could be wrong, since Commencal recommends size m for 1,68m-1,80m.This is my 3rd bike from Commencal, always stuck with Large even though reach keeps getting longer (460mm -> 470mm -> 475mm), and top tube shorter (625mm -> 625mm -> 614mm)
So you are 3 cm in the recommendation of size s an 1 cm before the m recommendation. I am just the other way around ?I am a shy over 167cm and went with a small based. I like the more nimble feeling of a smaller bike on the downhills. I have learned over the years to trust what the manufacturers recommend in terms of sizing, and then if I am stuck between sized I go smaller. that said, I have a shorter torso.
I prefer the shape of the frame just above the motor though, with the slight angle up vs the other 2021 pic of the Essential MT29, motor seems like it wants to be angled up slightly more... purely for aesthetics mind...

The pics give a nice comparison of the EP8 vs E8000 sizes. The EP8 looks like a nice improvement.dunno if it's been mentioned... but has anyone noticed the frame design above the motor appears to be different on the new Dirt and Graphite models ?
As per the comment above I made in August when the first pics leaked... it seems to angle up more to the downtube...

EDIT* ... scrap that... looks like the renders for the Graphite and Dirt are not using the EP8 and seem based on the 2020 model for some reason.
Same for me. I think our bikes are on the same truckFedex delivery delayed until Monday now. Crap, I was all hyped up about delivery today
Yeah... for 500€ more than on the commencal website ?I see that "essential edition" is on stock @ bike-components.de....just saying , if you want one next week....
Mine is on Wed of next week. Can’t wait. Gonna swap out the brakes to my trusty Shimano Saints then it will be ready to shred.Fedex delivery delayed until Monday now. Crap, I was all hyped up about delivery today
Unlikely, it's about 70mm shorter than 630Wh one
Yes for shorter rides you can save weight I suppose. Or if you are going on an epic ride and carry an extra battery lighter is better.If you are looking for a lighter battery option than the new BT-8036, you need the BT-8035-L for 2021 models with EP8 system, it is the same size as the BT-8036 but lighter with less range.
I’m considering this battery swap as it saves 600grams
What a beauty ? looking forward to hearing/seeing more! how long was shipping?
Wow. Hoping I get the same surprise today!
No, these are from my spare parts bin. OneUp 210mm dropper, Fox 170 is too short for me.Did that bottle holder/pump come from Commencal? Different dropper post?
