[@harryfetter]

What do you like about hardtails?

[@adamf.8564]

EVERYTHING.

[@Lucas_Collins]

Stumbled across this bike by accident looking up bike review videos, now I'm obsessed haha. Great video! Seriously really considering this bike. Coming off of a 2006 Norco Bigfoot, I'm sure this will be quite the upgrade 😂

[@harryfetter]

I’m sure it will. Thanks for the comment, it’s a great rig!

[@Enzo-0526]

i know this comment was a year ago, but i love mine lol! totally worth it

[@mrvapor4791]

I just really like the stance.

[@lukas-a9234]

That’s sick, looking forward to some clips of you riding it

[@harryfetter]

Thank you! Stoked to spend some time on it

[@lukas-a9234]

@@harryfetter how do you feel about the climbing performance on this bike compared to a full sussy

[@harryfetter]

so much better! it accelerates up climbs so quickly

[@riverspohn9375]

Hey man nice reveiw! does this bike feel playful? (does it manuel and bunny hop easy)

[@harryfetter]

Yes! Super playful and fun for manuals and wheelies

Hello, I assume that's a large by the 29 wheels (?) Also 5 11 so inbetween sizes - what's your inside leg measurement?

[@harryfetter]

You’re correct that is a large. I am between sizes but like a longer reach. Not sure what my inside leg measurement is

[@huitzilopochtligarcia4552]

How much travel does that fox has?

[@harryfetter]

150mm

[@alamanako]

Sweet bike!! What’s the color?

[@harryfetter]

Magnetic grey I beleive

[@yamahschector]

Really no reason to get anything higher spec than this version of the meta. Is the ohlins much better? I own the ohlins.

[@MrWolf2212]

How do you like the Ohlins version?

[@yamahschector]

@@MrWolf2212 it’s alright. I like the GX eagle and the brakes. The fork is alright kind I am still working on the settings. The seat is horrible, seat post only okay, wheels are just okay. Mullet small is fun to play around on I wish it just came in a full 29

[@MrWolf2212]

@@yamahschector if you had to do it all over would you buy this bike again or something else ??

[@yamahschector]

@@MrWolf2212 something else. I do not ride as aggressive as I use to due to less free time on the bike and not in shape like I use to be. I am more about getting a good trail ride in with more distance and having playful fun downhill. I would have gone with a yeti arc or similar bike. Right now I have a used banshee paradox in the garage I am rebuilding slowly to try out and if I do not like that I am going with a yeti arc. The ohlins meta to me seems like a beautiful hardtail for the big rough rides. I am wanting to get the meta on the chairlifts where I believe it will be a darn fun bike. The seat sucks more than any other part on the bike or maybe any seat ever in my 20 years on a mountain bike. The seat is uncomfortable and squeaks and creaks and that has never been a thing for me ever. It took me some time to get use to the meta because the size and I am short 5’4-5” I bought a small. Now that I am use to it I can play around on the bike and it kind of feels like I could have tried out a medium just to see how I fit. I often wonder if a full 29” would be better than the mixed wheel it came with. Now that it’s in the garage I am keeping it because it is the rowdy bike that has a place. This bike is fun overall great and a must have if you ride fast rough and like the big hardtail for the downhill rough trail days. There is a video out there where the mega is used on the psychosis downhill race where you can see how roust the bike can get.

[@MrWolf2212]

@@yamahschector YETI ARC is a beautiful bike and very light, but it costs top dollar. I might just get a Roscoe 9 or Chameleon. Both of them are good enough for the trails that I go to.

Model - Race ?

[@harryfetter]

Yes!

[@maximusbarka7833]

This bike It's a bit heavy, someone answer me plz

[@harryfetter]

It’s a bit heavy?

[@maximusbarka7833]

@@harryfetter I mean that the typical weight of the hard tail is from 13 to 13.7 kilos, and this one weighs 14.2 kilos. Isn't it rather heavy or is it something normal ?

[@harryfetter]

​@@maximusbarka7833 I do not think it feels that heavy

[@Nomad7541]

That’s why I chose sentier vrx with weight ~12.3kg
