Hi Craig,

It's off topic a bit but I have just taken delivery of a V3 and was wondering if Commencal will be producing the rear shock/mud guard. The holes are in the frame for it and it's mentioned in literature but I can't find one on-line anywhere?

Thanks

Hi Nippy.

They have told me that they will be. They received prototypes at the beginning of Jan. In the meantime you can use a cut open innertube and ziptie through the bolt holes.

Cheers Craig.

Just seen the new am at Torico. Was told it was heavier than the 55?

[craig1980]

Possibly, The AM is 10mm more travel and the AM2 weighs 13.34kg. Not sure what the latest spec of the Meta 5.5 weighs.

All I can say is that is doesn't ride heavy!

Finally picking mine up tomorrow 

Will get it weighed et at and pictures posted up at the w/e

I rode the Meta 55 AM at Coed Llandegla on Sunday.  Boy does that machine climb and feel a lot lot lighter than it is.

But I think my current Meta with it's 160mm FIT fork spoils me a bit;  I can descend quicker on mine than I could on the AM.

But, begs the question - what would it be like with a 160mm 36 fork fitted?  Fast I'd say, very.

Back end tracks the ground nicely. Easy to jump.
 
Good enduro bike that's for sure.  Oh - and it does look great; really cool, low slung look...

However, happy with mine for the time being.  But pointed out my rear shock needs to be serviced and tuned asap!
