How it compares
Up front the Commencal Meta HT V3 runs 150 mm – 20 mm more than the 130 mm median we calculated from 17 bikes in the “trail hardtail” category. Within Commencal’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Commencal T.E.M.P.O. and the Commencal Meta TR V4 on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
The fork line-up ranges from the MARZOCCHI Bomber Z1 to the FOX 36 Factory.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (MARZOCCHI Bomber Z1): 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 and Marzocchi suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
- Hardtail: only the fork needs setting up. With no rear suspension, rear tyre pressure is the key adjustment for comfort and grip.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta HT V3
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 (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.50″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Rear : MAXXIS DHRII - Front : MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: MAXXIS DHRII - Front: MAXXIS Assegai.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
