The Perfect COMMENCAL META AM 29 To Rip Bike-parks Overseas...

One tip: I am using Fidlock bottle, and you can run 600 ml bottle on Medium frame without adapter, all you can do is swap the magnet mount on frame, swap the magnet mount on bottle and it will fit perfectly. Bike with fidlock bottle and also without the bottle mounted looks way better than a normal bottle cage. :)

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Ahhh yeah fair enough. I looked at the fidlock but they are a little expensive. Can't argue it looks better though!

Totally agree on the wtb volt saddle for comfort. Thanks for the bike check, absolute weapon. Have an awesome time in Europe

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Thanks man! it's a fantastic saddle!

[@broukos100]

Beautiful bike and really capable for hard enduro descends ! Curious to see you and your friend exchanging your bikes in the trails to see a future review of your commencal meta am to his spectral al 6 ... also your camera footage is of great quality ! Hope the trip to Austria goes well ! Ride fast ride safe !

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Cheers mate!! That would be a great idea. Even though we are quite different in height the bikes are only about 10-15mm different in length so definitely possible!

[@yuukibriggs6623]

The close up B roll clips of the bike 🤤🤌

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Hahaha thanks!!!

[@renots_8848]

Absolute beauty of a bike!

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Cheers mate!!

[@trailblazer_art]

This bike is a dream

[@BlueSkyBoys]

It’s a beauty!

Your bike have the flip chip? I just flipped it for first time on my 2022 tr Had to unbolt the shock which I dropped on my garage floor 🙃. Wasn't as easy as I thought. Sick bike mate have fun on trip

[@BlueSkyBoys]

No flip chip on this bike, although I have still found it quite awkward to swap the shock out

[@HuckHope]

Sick bike! I also like my 38, very chunky build.

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Cheers mate! It’s a beast of a fork!

[@barcs4515]

Would be great to know your shock settings? I've spent a looong time with my x2

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Hey man, I'll get James to have a look and report back!

[@fpsgenerator]

Dream bike!

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Sure is!

[@rokbukejlovic]

I cannot set my rear suspension it always feels hard and its stopping me down

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Which shock are you using? Could be a range of things but if you have already got the right air pressure for your weight then maybe you could look into dropping pressure and adding a volume spacer, or some more low speed compression. Let us know the shock and maybe we can help.

[@MrSupermugen]

I assume this initally was ment as a "daily driver" bike, like a bike to use everywhere? how do you like it for that stuff? climbing etc? I was looking at buying an SX frameset

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Yeah I definitely built this bike as an enduro race bike and a bike I can do longer rides on with some climbing. But I think it will still rip pretty hard at the bike park. I love it for all types of riding, it climbs very well and the suspension design is good for everything, lots of antisquat. I think you will enjoy the SX

[@MrSupermugen]

@@BlueSkyBoys you didnt mind the "big wheelbase"? In large it would be 30mm longer than my current bike

[@BlueSkyBoys]

I can definitely notice the wheelbase on steep switchback climbs but its still fine to ride, and the added performance on the downhills is by far worth it

[@lewisdelaney1434]

Hi mate what's the bottle cage adapter called?

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Hey man. It’s the Topeak alt-position cage adaptor

[@technotaubsi]

is the frame raw or whaat color is it? :)

[@BlueSkyBoys]

It’s a polished gun metal kinda color. Looks kinda raw I guess hahah. Hard to explain.

[@rokbukejlovic]

How much sag at the rear?

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Somewhere between 25 and 30% 🤟

[@flynndamsmtb9088]

Did you use a black sharpie on the assegai or something else?

[@kh05821]

nah that's the new 'ass' tire from maxxis.

[@BlueSkyBoys]

prototype Maxxis Ass tyre yes. Don't tell anyone

[@BlueSkyBoys]

was a sharpie yeah

[@flynndamsmtb9088]

@@BlueSkyBoys haha ok was thinking about doing the same thing but with the logos to make the tyres look cleaner, but didn’t want to try it until someone else did it so I didn’t mess them up 👍

[@idrinkcolt]

how tall are you?

[@BlueSkyBoys]

James is roughly 5ft 11”

[@darrensmith9182]

Shit it would be good if someone gave a ride impression

[@BlueSkyBoys]

James has some ride impressions in the first ride video on our channel, hopefully film a review when we are back in the same country.

[@TheChange-jd5zt]

What’s the color of the frame ?

[@BlueSkyBoys]

I believe Commencal call it gunmetal grey or something like that. Looks like raw metal but it is actually a finish overtop.

[@TheChange-jd5zt]

@@BlueSkyBoys thanx mate I was thinking of getting their COMMENCAL META HT AM RACE 29 MATTE GRAPHITE but should I wait for the 2023 range

[@tylerpaulmtb1926]

First ;)

[@BlueSkyBoys]

Lightning fast!
