My initial thoughts on the new 2022 Commencal Meta SX Mullet and some comparison to the Commencal Meta AM and TR.

I have a Champagne SX frame hopefully coming in the next few weeks and will be having SpokeX build it up. Will be putting on a factory 38 and float X2. I’m so stoked to try it out and see how it compares to my TR signature. Been feeling like the TR just isn’t quite enough bike, so I’m hoping this thing will hit the sweet spot👌

Not at all man. Personally the only somewhat, noticeable trade out is speed. A full 29er rolls faster. But I done feel like I’ve made any sacrifices going SX (mullet). Going on 5 months and still prefer it over the TR and AM. It’s like a blend of both actually

Dude, I've been watching your channel impatiently for this 2nd edition about your META SX! So excited to see you getting a video out there before anyone else on this bike. Love your reviews and calm demeanor; it's a joy to listen to your perspective. I'm planning a trip to Colorado in May to rent this bike and see if it's for me. I'm the last person on earth to still be riding a 26" Yeti (since 2012) and this bike will surely open my eyes to a new world...I would like to see another video of this bike with you talking about addressing the flip-chip adjustment in the low position and how it rides differently, and include hard braking in those positions and standing climbing. I don't always sit to climb, so climbing feedback is way different than seated which you cover aptly here.

What's your opinion on fox x2 so far? I'm building my sx and trying to decide what shock to go with. My last bike was a yt jeffsy, and a coil transformed that bike due to the progressivity of the frame. People seem to say the AM29 is suited to air because it's more linear at bottom out, but I know they reworked the kinematic for sx, so im not sure how useful that is for me.
@MILTONATOR
@MILTONATOR 2 жыл бұрын
Was hesitant to get the X2 because it’s got more settings than I was used to and slightly heavier than the Float X, which is what I wanted. But I threw on the X2 performance on my TR and dialed it based on a Jeff Kendall-Weed video and it made the shock feel super plush while at the same time poppy. Sold! Went out and got this one, X2 factory. Still only messing with LSC and LSR and soon will learn how to dial in the HSC HSR

I have been watching your channel for a while and I believe you used to have a 2018 AM v4.2? How would you compare it to the v4.2? I have a 2019 AM v4.2 in medium and am thinking of replacing with an SX frame build in size small. The SX in small is bigger in nearly every dimension than my medium v4.2, and the medium v4.2 fits me about perfect (I'm 5'8"). For me I believe the new AM is just to long in front and too short in rear, but the SX looks perfect on paper. Thanks!
@MILTONATOR
@MILTONATOR 2 жыл бұрын
It’s completely different. The 2018 AM was an awesome bike and I also had the 2020 (29er). The SX would be a nice upgrade in my opinion. Faster and more controlled. I thought the same as you and thought about getting a small SX or AM but don’t do it. The medium for your height would be a good fit. Doesn’t seem like it on paper but trust me.

I have just broken my 2020 meta am frame. So commencal offered to replace it with a 2022 SX frame. But as a all mountain guide I'm a bit hesitant. I'm sure it's a beast on the downhill. But I'm afraid its going to be horrible on the climbs. I'm thinking about asking for a Tr frame. What is your experience about the climbing compared to the 2020 AM? I do very steep climbs and I wasn't always happy with the climbing on the AM
@MILTONATOR

It’s been my experience so far that the SX (flip chip in high setting) climbs slightly better than the AM. A bit longer chainstays, steeper seat tube and 64 head tube. I liked the TR but didn’t feel very stable on the fast descents (compared to the AM and now the SX). My opinion

Thanks man. The sx wont fit a 29 out back. There’s a crossbar preventing it. In my opinion, the SX is an awesome bike. A big bike for big hits. If you’re all about speed and chunk, the SX is the one. If you’re more about poppy, playful, climbing, the TR is the one. The TR can take big hits too, just not as stable when speed picks up

Bro I’m almost 5’11 and got to demo a medium and it felt great. Actually it was the best bike I’ve ever hit jumps on. It’s so playful and poppy and not at all too small. I also have a large Remedy and a Large V2 Ripmo, and hands down was perfectly happy on the Medium SX. The large is enormous, closer to The new Firebird’s numbers. I’d probably throw a 50mm stem on just to compensate for the shorter reach. This bike doesn’t pedal as efficiently as my Ripmo, but descending, jumps and drops are so much easier than anything else I’ve ever ridden.

Yeah they do. I really liked my Pivot but this one takes up a notch. Probably because Commencal bikes have always been good to me

Great video, thanks. Which frame size you have and what you recommend for someone of 1.73m hight? I'm concerned about the long reach. Online commencal states size s up top 1.70 but i've ready alot saying "Meta one size smaller"?
@MILTONATOR
@MILTONATOR 2 жыл бұрын
That’s a tough one. I’m 5’ 9” (178 I think) and the medium fits me well. The other thing to consider is the 78 seat tube angle. When seated, it moves you closer to the cockpit, so even a long reach feels not so long (when seated)

How do you compare it to the Yeti SB150?
@MILTONATOR
@MILTONATOR 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve not owned an Sb150 but I did demo it a while back. The sb150 is a super cool enduro bike and it being carbon, makes it lighter in weight, easier to climb and get up in the air. One big benefit of the mullet is the butt clearance when going down the steeps.

@@MILTONATOR Thanks. Currently I got a SB130lr, but need something more "enduro" without going too big. In 2018/19 I had a Megatower. I guess has been my best enduro so far. But right now I can choose between a Sb150 and a Meta SX.
