The Commençal company comes from Andorra and is known for high-quality aluminium bikes. The META POWER TR RIDE fits perfectly into the image of the gravity-oriented brand.
In the automotive and motorcycle world, Japan has always had a reputation for being a breeding ground for excellent engines. Shimano is doing its utmost to live up to this reputation in the e-bike world with the EP8 engine. Also seemingly hopeless inclines the Shimano motor easily climbs up well Although the EP8 isn't the strongest when it comes to maximum power, it still has its advantages.. The Shimano EP8 provides a natural riding experience with a gentle power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the META POWER TR RIDE with only an average range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Commençal META POWER TR RIDE in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

The Rock Shox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. On rough descents, the moderate chassis limits you and demands a more precise line choice than bikes with better chassis. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the META POWER TR RIDE. With their four pistons and 2 disc brakes the SRAM brake brakes good. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Commençal uses average parts. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated.

Value for money

Conclusion


Expirience with the Commençal META POWER TR RIDE

With a good motor and a good geometry the META POWER TR RIDE counts among the better climbers on the market. This emphasizes its fun factor on tours on challenging trails. Nevertheless, an average groupset and a mediocre range also give cause for criticism. We have to stay honest.
