Thanks.
Ordered mine near the end of September, though it’s looking doubtful that I’m in the first wave.
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?
I ordered early, not sure when, but just a few hours later they were no longer available.
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?

Ordered mine Sept 4 at around noon. By 2pm they were no longer available (large Signature)

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)

Called today to find out where I am in the queue. They didn't give me a number but told me it should ship next week or so. I'm in the united states. And my order was placed on September 4th.
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.

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.
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 also prefer my bike on the smaller side, but I'm confused cause TT in s is so super short.
I hope that some of the lucky ones, who get their Metas in the next days can share their opinions ?

Am around 178cm and I’ve got a medium 2020 SX and it suits me about perfect ?? the reach on these newer Commencals is fairly long and even though I could ride either size according to the sizing chart, I feel the large would have felt to big.

Some of the models and sizes are showing in stock on the US site now!

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.

The pics give a nice comparison of the EP8 vs E8000 sizes. The EP8 looks like a nice improvement.

Can't imagine wanting to step down to a 504wh battery. Part of the joy of emtb is not worrying about the weight.

No, these are from my spare parts bin. OneUp 210mm dropper, Fox 170 is too short for me.
