Installing a bottle cage has also been made easy.Ĭlassy and modern with a Silver paint finish, this META SX TEAM will stand certainly out, especially with all those plush parts.Ī top-of-the-range model, this META SX is equipped with the best ROCKSHOX suspension currently available on the market for enduro: The cable routing is neat for easier maintenance, the cables being easily accessible in the down tube, while grommets are placed at the ends to give perfect support and prevent penetration of water and mud.

The welds have been the subject of meticulous work to reduce them as much as possible without affecting the solidity of the frame. Depending on your preferences, you can have the choice between a dynamic bike that's perfect for big pedalling trips, or a more progressive version which is ideal for days in the bike park or on more committed trails.įinally, we have worked on a detail that makes the difference the finished look. In addition to all this in-depth work, as on our META POWER TR and META TR models, we now offer a Flip Chip on the shock extension in order to be able to better adjust the geometry, and therefore fit with your style! This system also means you can adapt the height of the bottom bracket as well as the steerer and saddle angles within seconds. Through new double row Enduro Bearings, eliminating any deformation, the new META SX offers perfect deformation/rigidity management to provide grip, comfort and performance. Apart from the kinematics which have been reworked to provide more liveliness, we've made a point of managing the stiffness of the rear triangle. Undoubtedly, one of the points that has changed the most is the way the suspension works. A shorter 10mm reach, a straightened steerer angle and extended (10mm) chain stays mean that the rider is naturally repositioned in the centre of the bike and will therefore have the ability to be more precise and agile in their technique. Once again, our choice to work with Aluminium has allowed us to accompany this change in wheel size with an adjustment of the geometry. The result is a bike that is more agile and easier in the steeps, more efficient under braking and more dynamic when pushing hard. Quite simply, this way the bike is much more balanced, specifically relating to grip on the front and back - the large 29-inch wheel on the front allows more confidence and rolling capacity whilst the 27.5-inch rear wheel offers more manoeuvrability and responsiveness. The geometry and kinematics of the bike must be completely reworked and it is thanks to this experience that we are now able to present the most successful version of the META V4 we've ever produced, the META SX!Įquipping this META SX with different sized 29/27-inch wheels is not the result of a trend that we're following. This work has allowed us to understand that to transform a regular bike with the same sized wheels into a bike with different sized wheels, it isn't effective to just throw a 27-inch wheel on the back. The frame can still fit a 27.We have been working on 29/27 Mullet bikes for 3 years now with our different DH teams. Models are now fitted as standard with 29/27 wheels in sizes S/M and 29-inches in sizes L/XL

A fork with 150mm or 160mm travel which provides comfort and/or safety depending where and how it’s being used A semi-rigid frame which allows for better pedalling, a lighter weight and reduced maintenance Its development revolves around reliability as a priority: Particularly useful for those who want a longer bike.įor the rest, we are continuing with the winning formula that made this bike so successful. The choice of frame size is no longer limited by a seat tube that is too high when purchasing the complete bike. It is now possible to fit longer travel seat posts. It’s a choice of reason which offers two advantages: To keep current, we’ve worked on the smallest details that make the biggest differences. We believed in this bike many years ago and we have become real specialists. Max himself says, “It’s better to have a good hardtail than a bad full-suspension bike.” Our research confirms that it is the bike in our range that is most widely used, and to do most things! Enduro, off-road rides, urban missions, pump track laps.
