About Me

Diego from San Diego, CA. I do audio for a living and ride bikes on my time off. I ride a 2017 Commencal Meta AM v4.2 mullet, 27.5" rear, 29" front. I also ride an Octane One Zircus 26" dirt jumper. My favorite spots to ride are Mount Laguna, CA, Big Bear, CA and Sweetwater Bike Park in Bonita, CA.

I had the same “problem” with the bike nose diving when jumping, but I have been playing around with different rebound and compression settings on the shock and settled on a super slow rebound setting and soft compression. Still nose diving a bit but I think the frame design/kinematics has to do with it. The bike still rips hard, no issues with frame cracks or anything.

Yes, I have ridden enduro and a bit of bike park with this bike. It can handle everything pretty good honestly. At the moment, I am running full 29er set up and a Burgtec offset bushing to slacken the head angle a bit. I was running the original mounts when I was riding a mullet setup. It worked fine.

Thanks! No problems with the frame so far. I have been riding it for 9 months and still holding up pretty good.

More H2O bottle space with piggyback out of way. Lower center of mass. Nice frame--where's the review

Hey, I used a pair of offsetbushings.com and reduced the forks from 170mm to 160mm (same as rear travel). The hardware on the Meta is a 10mm bolt therefore the offset on the bushing and the change in geo is very minimal, approx half a degree. The geo ended up being 64 degree head tube angle. I cant recommend doing the same. The riding feels different both in a good and bad way. Climbing and low speed handling sucks. Although going down feels good and it corners better too. Cheers.

Hi. I had the same issue with the MT5 caliper hitting the frame. The solution was to use a 180 adapter, and I also used a Dremel tool and took some material off the caliper. It is still pretty damn close but it does not hit the frame anymore.

At first, it felt very nervous and twitchy on technical climbs, but you kind of get accustomed to it. The big wheel obviously brings the front end a bit, however I have been playing around with handlebar rise and have settled on a 20mm rise bar with minimal headset spacers under the stem (5mm max) and that seems to have helped a lot with climbing. Also, I have been playing around with offset bushings to bring numbers back to where it was, and honestly it is pretty close to stock, if not, a bit slacker, which I do not mind...

I ride Kenda Hellkat tires, and this definitely looks like a Kenda Hellkat...

Looks like an Intense frame to me. More evidence for Gwin to Intense?

Maybe the alloy bars and coil shock are Neko’s?
