How it compares
Up front the Commencal Meta HT V2 runs 140–150 mm – 20 mm more than the 130 mm median we calculated from 17 bikes in the “trail hardtail” category. On travel, it slots in between the Commencal T.E.M.P.O. and the Commencal Meta TR V4 in the Commencal range. Commencal builds the frame from aluminium.
In total, 5 different forks are used, from the ROCKSHOX Yari RC to the MARZOCCHI Bomber Z2. Wheel sizes differ by build or frame size: 27.5 / 29.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (ROCKSHOX Yari RC): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: on FOX, Marzocchi and RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta HT V2
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Commencal gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork (Meta HT Am Essential, Meta HT Am Origin, Meta HT Am Race, Meta HT Am Ride)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm |
140 mm fork (Meta HT XS 2026)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 24 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 28 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 31 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 28 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.60″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: MAXXIS Minion DHRII; Rear: MAXXIS Dissector - Front: MAXXIS Dissector.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.35 bar (20 psi) | 1.55 bar (22 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.47 bar (21 psi) | 1.67 bar (24 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.59 bar (23 psi) | 1.79 bar (26 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.71 bar (25 psi) | 1.91 bar (28 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.83 bar (27 psi) | 2.03 bar (29 psi) |
| 110 kg | 1.95 bar (28 psi) | 2.15 bar (31 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.07 bar (30 psi) | 2.27 bar (33 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
