This will be a roomy bike for sure, giving the rider a big cone of movement over the BB. That said, the steeper seat tube angle should take care of any issues in that department. This will give masses of clearance for super long travel dropper posts – the only consideration being how close the rear wheel gets to the back of your saddle in a bottom-out situation. It also shortens considerably, to 440 mm in large. The seat tube steepens up considerably too, now a very healthy 78.6°. With that, Commencal now spec the bike with a shorter offset fork. The head tube angle slackens off two degrees to 64.5°. The chainstay increases just 1 mm to 435 mm, consistent across that size range. Reach is increased across the S-XL frame size range, now stretched to 440 mm in small, 465 mm in medium, 490 mm in large and 515 mm in XL.

The new suspension kinematic is said to give the bike a more lively ride feel while also reducing the necessary leg work for the rider, reducing fatigue. The META TR 29 now uses double row Enduro Bearings said to be stiffer and more reliable.

Note that the rocker now bridges around the front instead of at the rear of the seat tube in a one-piece design. There are a few differences to the linkage design that allow for this additional travel, and some other differences that probably bring additional lateral stiffness to the frame.

At first glance, it doesn’t look heaps different to the 2019 version, though it now supports 140 mm rear wheel travel as compared to the previous 130 mm. The 2021 Commencal META TR 29 still uses Commencal’s linkage-driven single pivot suspension platform. Everything you need to know about Commencal’s new trail bike is right here. In terms of travel, the 2021 META TR 29 is more comparable to the affordable SX build released earlier this year 140 mm rear wheel travel is now paired with a 150 mm or 160 mm fork, model dependent.
