Perfect! Killer spec and look. Only thing I would change are the white decals. Black would do better. Also on the website the Zeb's decals on the Race are white and the chain is silver. Pitty there's no Meta SX priced between the Ride and Race and on better components than SRAM SX and Guide RE + some cheaper coil. 5699€ for such a machine and it will be mine. Race too expensive, Ride requires too much upgrades.

Thanks! I looked into new decals to cover the white ones but nobody makes them yet... Perhaps a project further down the line. I swapped out the Zeb decals for gold from SLIKgraphics and the chain was upgraded to a gold Sram xx1. Gold pins on the DMR vaults and gold collars on the deathgrips. As i said, must've added about 20hp with the upgrades ? ??

Have to agree, just don't see the point of this bike. The geo isn't bad and I'm sure it rips, but your not saving any weight at all, just sacrificing suspension travel for what?? I guess it's basically in line with the Levo and other manufactures that have a more 'trail' oriented E bike. But without the weight savings, just not worth it in my opinion. Especially with the Levo SL and the Orbea Rise. No contest. It's still going to be a heavy big beast that's still going to plow but with less travel. A miss in my opinion. Should have come out with a smaller battery, even mullet, shave off at least 10 - 12lbs, then we be talking. As is, no point at all. Same weight basically as it's bigger counter part. So why??

I agree 100%. For me, there are two EMTB styles that are interesting going in to 2021. Big enduro bikes 170-180mm travel or the Levo SL/Orbea Rise style truly light weight trail bikes. The bikes in-between these doesn't make sense to me anymore.

Or at least 10mm to the travel, 0.5 degree to the HTA or 1 pound less weight ;-)) Great bike. I'll probably end up on the SX Ride model and upgrade further in the future step by step.

Have you compared the real weight to the advertised?

It says "REAR ROTOR MAX. SIZE: 220 MM", so you'd think it should fit... Haven't tried myself

problem is the caliper that is bigger than original sram crap

 

[Mcharza]

Damn, use a hammer. But only a little ?

 

[Darkyhs]

I got on my bike the 220 Magura MDR-P discs with Shimano Saint brakes. But my Team version came with 220 SRAM discs. So it should fit. If you need any pics of the clearance, please do let me know buddy

 

[melmark]

Looks like the caliper width is the issue. Perhaps V4's just won't fit. Smaller rotor looks like it might move the caliper closer in where clearance is a smidge wider.

 

[robat]

You also should be aware, that commencal uses a special 20mm adapter (the speed sensor is mount to it). You can buy it on their website.

 

[Darkyhs]

 

[Mteam]

Hmmm, that brake adapter mounted speed sensor is interesting - I'm wondering if I could use it on my orbea wild fs to move the speed sensor away from being spoke mounted to being brake disc mounted for a slightly cleaner look.

I've just checked the commencal website and you can buy the adapter with the built in speed sensor mount point for 35 euro - I wonder if there's enough space on my frame for it.

 

[Mteam]

can anyone with one of the brake adapters with built in mount for the speed sensor, tell me the following:-

1. What size brake rotor you have (200mm or 220mm)
2. The length of the bit that sticks out underneath the adapter that the speed sensor mounts to - the dimension marked by the red arrow below- need to check whether it will fit.

Hey is there anyone who knows the mounting hardware size for the shock?

In spec sheet it says "20 X 10 MM FRONT / 15 X 10 MM REAR"

heads up, check your actual oem installed dropper post length vs spec: i just discovered my size L meta power 29 signature came with a 150mm dropper installed when it should have been a 175mm!

Good luck getting the 175mm version from commencal. They’ll bust out the fine print and tell you to pound salt.

Same on mine. But I was swapping for 200mm anyway, so didn't bother with customer support.

Confirmed. So what does this mean? Wrong Dropper installed?

 

[Motofinne]

My guess is that they didn't have enough 175mm droppers because of the supply issues and had to put 150mm droppers.

 

[R120]

There is a shortage of parts worldwide which is holding up assembly of many bikes - we are seeing quite a few bikes from various brands coming with slightly different components than advertised as brands are having to fit what they can get hold of to get the bikes out to customers

HOPE V4 CALIPER ASSEMBLY SOLUTION :

The only solulion is to buy the
200 MM REAR BRAKE HANGER META POWER V2 (Code: W20MPWBRAKEH200)
a Hope Floating Rotor 203mm
and everything works

220mm rotor CANNOT mount with Hope V4 Caliper

waiting for this combo kit
FENIX + ZEB SC4 CARTRIDGE

 

[melmark]

has anyone figured out a work around/hack for the stupid 20mph limiter? (besides the one shenchman tried) Really annoying...

 

[melmark]

Has anyone found a good bike work stand that fits this beast?

The answer for the "droppergate" mystery: it depends when you ordered the bike

i'm quite sure the spec was listed as 175mm on the size L signature at least when i ordered it 8/31/2020; this link with the original signature color scheme & specs has been static since august as far as i know:

I just checked mine, it’s a 150mm.
The L and XL Signature were and still are listed as 175mm.
