the scale stops at just a touch under 38lbs or 17,2kg
Ok thank you, I'm considering meta am 29 team, trek slash 8 or alloy spire gx. It's a really tough call.
I was going to get a slash 8 this time last year but they sold out so i got the TR race. I'm really happy with it. I've ridden a slash 8 and that is a great bike as well. You really can't go wrong with either. Maybe look for a slash 8 used to save some money. I'm sure some rich covid bikers would have bought them from a dealer and now realised they don't need it.

I haven't ridden any of the bikes you listed but I do love my TR and commencal has basically all the other companies beat when it comes to value for the price.
Ha! Yep. I have a 21 meta AM. Cushcore, alloy bars, GX alloy 165 cranks, fenders, and don’t want to weigh it! I still like nerding out on all the little ti bits, and am conscious of trying to save weight where I can. At the same time, It feels so good out on the trail and climbing doesn’t seem all that bad so I don’t worry about it too much.
I am having some trouble dialing in my rockshox superdeluxe coil on my 21 meta TR. It feels pretty harsh and rear doesn't feel like its tracking the ground very well. My guess its probably a combination of rebound and sag. I am currently running a 400lb spring at 28% sag. According to Tftuned, to achieve 33% sag I need to use 385 lb. I'm considering trying a 350 lb spring whenever they come back in stock. Has anyone tried using a springdex coil? Would the progression of the springdex work against the frame?

I’m in the same boat as you. I weigh about 205lbs so I’m running a 550 spring. The I would describe the feel of the rear end exactly the same as you.

Its not too bad at bike parks on fast rocky trails, but anything else is kind of brutal sometimes lol
I'm riding AM and I would say that usually I like stiff rear end. However, it was way too stiff until I reached 31-32% of sag
I'm 130 pounds and running a 350 pound spring on a fox DHX2 with high/low speed rebound and compression fairly open as fox recommends it for my weight. The sag I'm getting is about 22% and I think its exactly where I want it. I originally had a 300 pound spring which felt plush, but not supportive enough on big impacts.
