It could go to 200mm of drop in 31.8 and would last years before even the main seal head would need to be regreased, let alone a rebuild of the post. If ethirteen just put those keys into their old post they literally would have the cheapest, most reliable and durable post on the market. The length of the post is horrible but, that’s a result of the tool free travel adjust feature, and it works fine otherwise. The keys on the new ethirteen vario are f*cking massive, and it fits a standard cartridge in 31.8. The one up post goes to 210m travel, is reliable, durable and works great in 31.8, same thing with all the other 180-200mm posts in 31.8. I’d much rather have a well engineered, cleverly designed post in 31.8 that will work well because it’s designed well than a 34.9 post that is good regardless of how well it is engineered only because all the internals are bigger and stronger than their 31.8 counterpart. just sounds like a lack of good engineering to me. If most riders are sizing down then that might say something. It would be a cool analysis to see pro rider heights and the size bikes they choose. Matt Walker, an inch shorter than me, is on a medium switchblade (I would ride an XL) with it's offensive sub 1200mm wheelbase. ![]() It's interesting though that the new Switchblade was 'only' 66deg up front. ![]() And I can't imagine the Commencal enduro team didn't ask for the changes above. I'm 6'1" (1.85m) on an XL and the bike isn't long or short, it just fkn fits really well with the steeper sta and more generous tt/reach and the slackage helps tame the gnar. I just graduated from a 1215 wheelbase to 1260+. If anyone's griping about longer travel bikes getting too big I can see that as an issue for some. For those that like traditional geo for a mid travel trail bike you can always size down or pick up a Trek or Specialized. Not everyone's on board w/ LLS but the almighty demo is the way to go even though ultimately it just comes down to personal preference and type of terrain/riding the rider prefers. A real plus! Finally, the new MAXXIS Dissector tyres perfectly match the theme of this bike, with an excellent ratio between lateral grip and rolling ability.Think Nico's words are good food for thought. The big advantage of this RIDE compared to the ORIGIN is that it features a KS telescopic seat post. Downhill, the free roll feel and reliability of the SHIMANO Deore brakes are a confidence booster. The SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed transmission gets you up the most challenging of hills. This suspension combo provides comfort and performance on all types of terrain. On the back, we have a Deluxe Select+ shock and settings are as simple as they are effective. On the front, the new ROCKSHOX Zeb fork with 38mm uppers will give you all the precision you need to stay between tapes, even when braking hard. It’s very simple, everything is new! Notably, the sharper lines highlight improved performance.The new META AM 29 will therefore delight riders eager for performance and those who like to give it all regardless of the difficulty of the trail before them!About the META AM 29 RIDEWith its ‘Alpine White’ finish and black components, the META AM 29 RIDE will be remembered.This version of the META AM 29 is suspension-focused and fits into the enduro program resolutely. The use of double-row Enduro Bearings allows a more homogeneous deformation of the frame without the loss of stiffness via the bearings.Aesthetically, the frame has evolved in depth. The seat angle is straightened and the offset is reduced for optimised uphill positioning regardless of whether in the saddle or on the pedals.The stiffness of the frame is always the subject of much attention. This means handling is not impeded and the bike feels like it has a good sense of direction. Lengthened for stability, equipped with a 40mm stem, a short fork offset (42/44mm) and a slacker head angle.
