Link.

The head angle is 69.5 degrees...

Hmm shouldn't be this year head angle 68 degrees...

Ahhh, Mags and their angle finders, here we go again!

The Meta underwent a radical rear suspension overhaul a year ago

Wow, what happened there then? I thought they just went to a single beam swingarm, didn't realise the whole suspension platform was over hauled too!

Have to say what I always say, Mag reviews are largely pointless, often damn right miss-leading and at worst damaging to a brand. But they say they love the Meta 5.5.2 and that it's a great bike, so on this occasion I'll have to agree with them 100% ;-)

This does not make my decision over what new trail bike any easier. Can't decide between a 5 or 666.

I'd rather magazines voice some sort of point of view - you don't have to believe them. 
Unlike some of the American magazines where everything is "simply awesome".

Thats probably because the bike manufacturers would sue the reviewers over there for a bad review! Claim loss of sales or some crap rather than admitting problems in their bikes...
