2013 *considering a split* Commencal Meta 4x Long

*Seriously considering a split right now, if you want it complete let me know as soon as possible or it'll be gone*


Thinking of selling my Commencal Meta 4x in order to fund an enduro bike.
I love the thing so I'm in no hurry to let it go, if it doesn't sell I'll happily keep riding it. So no swaps, need the cash as I'll be buying new.

Pretty rare frame, I'm only aware of two or three v3 4xs in the UK. Almost certainly the only one in Scotland. Never seen another in person.
I built it up in March 2015 to replace my hardtail so I could race the Tweed Valley EWS. It saw a few crashes that week, one of which was fairly serious. The bike was fine, I just landed on my head. It's not been raced or crashed since, and has done approximately 30 rides in the past year. The bike is in good condition and runs smooth.

I ran a reverb stealth for a bit, the routing is very easy to set up unlike some other frames

It wouldn't take much to convert this back into a full on 4x bike or to set it up for dirt jumping. Kyle Strait used the exact frame for DS, slope and dual speed and style in 2015. I can lower the fork to 120mm no problem if you'd prefer.

In its current set up it's ideal for flow trails and big jumps (it's perfect for places like Forfar Quarry). I've also found its great on really steep, tight and technical trails like Water World at Golfie.
It's perfect for trail centres.
Fits me fine at 6'0 but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone taller

The matte finish has been a bit polished on the top tube and there's a few chips round the BB and chainstay. Commencal use pretty thick paint which is nice and hard wearing.
Headset is a little rough. BB is smooth. Grips feel new. Wheels are true and in very good condition. Fork is in near perfect condition. Shock is in perfect condition. Rear brake would benefit from a bleed at some point.


Size Long 2013 frame, bought new from Commencal in March 2015. 120mm rear travel.

2015 Rockshox Monarch RL, Bought new in March 2015. Fitted with brass offset bushings.
2014 Rockshox Revelation RL solo air. Lowered to 130mm.

Alexrims sx44 front wheel.
Easton Haven UST rear wheel. Has thebearing upgrade so it doesn't have the issues that the older Easton hubs had.

Nukeproof headset, grips and shimano BB bought new in March 2015..

SRAM Guide R brakeset, 185mm SRAM rotors.

Shimano XT 10 speed GS derailleur and shifter with sunrace MX3 11-42t cassette in black. Really good combo, shifting is great and you get the range of XX1! Pretty light too. Cassette bought new, derailleur and shifter bought second hand but unused and unfitted a few months ago.
Shimano Deore cranks. If you'd prefer I can fit my saints instead for another £40.
2013 e13 LS1 chainguide, not pictured.

Spank Spoon 760mm bars in blue. 17mm rise I think and/or rawed Nukeproof Warhead 760mm bars, 38 mm rise.

Cheapo seatpost.
You're not getting my special Tweedlove saddle, sorry. I have a fairly old wtb V saddle that's pretty comfy.

Will include a few tyres.
Muddy Mary 2.35, loads of tread left (fitted, front)
High roller 2.35 42a, 50% tread left (fitted, rear)
Ignitor 2.35 60a, not much tread left
Ardent 2.4 60a, loads of tread left


I can post at buyers expense however I'd much prefer local pickup. Aberdeen/Fife
