After the EWS in Olargues (France) we had a chat with Cecile and she told me: "It's crazy Yo, I won with the biggest margin ever and I didn't even feel that I rode fast, riding this bike is like cheating" hahahaha !!! Few days later my bike showed up (then got stolen by a Dinosaur...crazy story!! By the way, this dinosaur is still on the run, be careful..) and I felt the exact same thing, THIS THING IS RAD !!! It basically makes me feel like a super hero every day, from riding down crazy stuff, to scaling mountains, It makes me a better rider ride after ride. And if you think this is marketing bullshit I simply invite you to demo one as soon as they are out, so you can see by yourself, but be careful, it's addictive (and the dinosaur could be around and still your bike any time haha)

For sure...I just got the black star meta, its super plush and fast, but dang I'm kicking myself that this beast became available a few weeks after I got mine. Def next bike without a doubt.

Can I get one in raw finish and no logo's?

@fecalmaster: Yes.... get it blasted with walnut shells.

Everyone knows that and fuck that, just offer it like they just showed us.

This brand is truly, truly on point right now, and the growth and success they've experienced in the shreddiest bike disciplines is truly to be "commended." Congrats

Patiently waiting for the Meta TR 29...

Certainly not “in depth”, more an artistic interpretation of the design and development process. Well executed though.

Who else thought of Life Cycles when watching the scenes from the factory?!

Ravanel would still win even if she was riding a 20" kids bike

35lbs... let's go pedaling, but first...gym session with months of steroids. Is that why only Cecile can due well on the bike???

Love this bike!! If all the beige was flat black, it would be perfection!

Sshredder (Jun 23, 2018 at 11:43)

The bike is too heavy for regular people. Pedaling that thing will be tough.

My Specialized S-Works Enduro 29 weighs 35 lbs (with coil, 2.6 tires, and cushcore). Hard to pedal up but awesome going down. This bike will be the same and half the cost - impressive! My next enduro bike.

bulletbassman (Jun 22, 2018 at 8:21)

I’m in excellent shape and it will be too heavy to be worth it for everyday but 3600 for a dedicated race bike of that quality is an insane deal. I may wait to see how some other companies respond since I already bought one bike this season but Unless someone else puts out an even cooler looking freeride bike with big wheels and a coil shock I’m sold

Just got a Meta V 4.2 (27.5"), weighs a respectable 30.5lbs. with pedals. It climbs well for a 170mm/160 mm bike!
