I have the Essential build (38, float x, slx drivetrain) and its a great "bargain" at $5400 right now. I was worried it would be too much bike, but man was I wrong. It does everything great. Yes it's heavy but you don't even notice it on trail. This bike is so confidence inspiring, I ride it non-stop.
Great bike! I had so much fun test riding it! And the essential build is a great choice!
I just picked up the SX Essential and have been extremely impressed with the bike. I was concerned about the longer reach and chain stay, but can report that once on the bike, they are not as noticeable. It really takes some speed to get it to perform, but once at speed, it is very lively and composed. At slow speeds, it is not very playful, likely due to the weight and chainstay. If you are a hard charger and gravity rider, you will love this rig. I am between 5.11 and 6' and went for a Large.
The sizing is pretty good not too big for me in a size M. Very fun bike once the speed picks up
Commencal Meta Power SX such a sick bike. Smashes everything in sight. Carry’s speed so well! I run a 10 speed on mine with a 36 chainring.
Awesome! This bike does smash through everything
What 10 speed are you using?

Great video and great bike! I would put myself in the intermediate category and did the same thing you just did, went down to the SoCal Commencal shop and test rode the race build. First time on an EMTB and ended up buying the Essential model. Don't forget you can apply that rental price to your purchase there so it's like a free rental/trial if you end up buying one! The TRP brakes were AMAZING and the biggest miss for me from the race build to the essential build, but the brakes on the essential build are still a significant upgrade from my acoustic MTBs so I am happy. I let the shop put mine together and literally rode it from the showroom at purchase to the trails and was immediately comfortable on this bike. These bikes shred!
Congrats! Very nice choice!
Good video, but It'd be nice if you went over some important info since it's an ebike:
What's the battery size? Is it integrated, or can you remove the battery? Room for a battery extender? Expected battery life when riding? Is there an app that can allow you to fine tune the assistance and power levels? How are the electronic controls? Weight? Warranty? How does the motor feel on each assistance level while pedaling (torque)?
I'm in the market for an ebike. Every bit of info helps
I was so focused on the ride report and forgot the most basic stuff! Thank you for pointing it out!
I wish Spank sold a bar with similar numbers to the PNW Loam bar with 5° upsweep and 10° backsweep. Love the vibration damping on my Virbocore bar, but not the up and backsweep. Great review 😎
Thank you! I’ll definitely pass your request to spank!
Love my MetaTR Bosch. It’s perfect for Texas Hill Country.
I have yet ridden the TR version but looking forward to testing it in the future
I’m actually thinking about scooping this bike up 💯. Either this Meta OR Canyon Spectral:ON . Opinions welcome 🙏🏽 please 🙏🏽
The spectral on is definitely lighter than the Meta SX.. I lean more towards bosch than Shimano at them moment.
Any idea what that spicy news might be that you mentioned?
It’s definitely a ripper!!!!!
Didn’t you get the Factory models in the US?
Factory models are available in the US. They had a race model available for test riding.
Thought you were gonna suffer on the climbs ? You have a motor
How is that compare to Fezzari (Ari) timp peak
The timp peak is more maneuverable and lighter. Both are solid bikes but I prefer the Bosch motor
How does it compare to the Ibis Oso?
"update to its motor".........lmao~!
That color alone is a deal breaker…
Call Commencals phone number and listen to how they pronounce it.
