hi, greetings from asia my friends ,
i have been looking around for an AM bike, and have currently boiled it down to commencal's bike due to its famous linkage.
however , what puzzles me is that which bike should i get ? the meta 5.1-5.3 ? meta 6 is out of the question ( too expensive, based on looking at the specs). so which bike should i get ? by the way, i'm a heavy rider, around 230 pounds or 105 kg. correct me if i'm wrong, commencal's frame doesnt allow the use of coil shocks right, but say can it support a fox dhx 5.0 air shock ? or must i use the shock that came with the frame ( in this case, the rp2).
hope to hear from u guys

Go for a Meta 5.2, cracking bike and I think the spec is just nice on it - good enough that you wont want to change anything whilst keep price down a bit over the 5.1.  The 5.2 XT looks immense.  Im a fairly heavy rider myself, and I think there a few on here riding Meta's that might even be heavier than me    Not sure about the shock situation, but the Float should be grand anyway?  If you are looking something a bit more heavy duty then you could always go for a Supreme and I think the '08 ones will all be coils.  I suppose it depends on your definition of AM

so i'm assuming that the stock shock is able to stand my weight ?

hey steveb, is that a meta 5.5 ? your saddle is really high up.

Ya, it's a 5.5.

I'm very tall!

(It's an XL too!)
