First Ride: 2021 Commencal Meta TR – Is Mini-Enduro a Thing?

Commencal’s Meta TR left us impressed with its trail-smashing capabilities when we reviewed it in Sedona, Arizona, a few months ago. Even with only 130mm of rear travel, that version fell into the burlier side of the trail bike category.

There are four complete bikes in the lineup, with prices ranging from $2,199 USD up to $4,799 for the Signature model that’s shown here. Highlights of the Signature build kit include a 160mm Fox 36 fork, Float X2 shock, Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, and DT Swiss wheels.
