Commencal Meta AM 29 Worlds Edition enduro bike looks back on gravity win, forward to trails

Last fall at UCI MTB Worlds, Commencal downhiller Myriam Nicole took home the rainbow jersey win on a customized DH bike, and now a special Meta AM 29 Worlds Edition enduro bike recreates that shiny winning paint job in a bike ready to hit the trails. The fourth generation Meta AM 29er has been a popular, affordable enduro mainstay since its overhaul two summers ago, so the special Worlds paint job just offers a unique new canvas to create your own À La Carte trail bike…

2020 Commencal Meta AM 29 Worlds Edition alloy enduro bike

The big-wheeled Meta AM 29 was the most recent upgrade to the long-running Commencal Meta AM v4 platform. With 160mm of rear wheel travel and proven modern trail geometry, the Meta AM 29 is one of Commencal’s most popular & versatile all-mountain & enduro bikes.

At the 2019 DH World Championships in Mont Sainte Anne, Myriam Nicole was among the Commencal Team riders on a customized Supreme DH bike when she earned her rainbow stripes. That pearl white & platinum gray paint, with shiny oil-slick reflective logos was designed to shine on the world stage, and now it is ready to come to a gravity trail near you.

Meta AM 29 – Worlds Edition build & Tech details

For 2020 this unique look transitions over to the popular Meta AM 29, built up with a premium Fox Factory, Kashima-coated suspension setup – a 170mm Fox 36 Factory fork up front & 160mm of rear travel through the Fox Float X2 Factory air shock, plus a Fox Transfer Factory dropper post (125mm on M, 150mm on L, 175mm on XL).

A durable high-performance SRAM groupset fills it out, with XO1 Eagle 1×12 drivetrain featuring the rainbow Eagle chain & cassette, and Code RSC brakes. Then a killer, race-ready e*Thirteen LG1 EN Carbon Race wheelset finishes it off, wrapped with e*Thirteen LG1 TRS All-Terrain Race F/R 29×2.35″ MoPo tires.

With a triple-butted 6066 alloy frame, capable faux-bar suspension design and space to run lightweight or piggyback shocks, this is a bike that can get built up many different ways. The Meta AM 29 frame claims a weight of 3.7kg (8.1lb) and sports massive 29×2.75″/70mm max tire clearance. The alloy bike features a pressfit BB92 bottom bracket, internal cable routing with 31.6mm dropper compatibility, molded-on downtube & chainstay protection, enduro bearings throughout, ISCG05 tabs, and a Maxle Boost rear end.
