How it compares
With 180 mm at the fork, the Commencal Meta Power SX 800 sits above average: across the 56 bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category in our database, the median is 170 mm. Front and rear both work with 180 mm of travel. No other Commencal model among its e-mountain bikes has more travel up front. The frame is made of aluminium.
For suspension, Commencal combines components from FOX and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the ROCKSHOX ZEB Ultimate to the FOX 38 Factory E-Bike. Drive comes from BOSCH Performance Line CX Gen5, paired with 800 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (ROCKSHOX ZEB Ultimate): 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: turn the red FOX and RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Shock (ROCKSHOX Super Deluxe Select): get on the bike in your normal riding position, step off carefully and read the O-ring. Always cycle the shock a few times after pumping.
- e-MTB: the extra weight mainly affects tyre pressure, which is why the table below already includes a surcharge. SAG is measured just as on a bike without a motor.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta Power SX 800
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Commencal specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
180 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.50″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Rear: MAXXIS Minion DHRII 27.5'' - Front: MAXXIS ASSEGAI 29''.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) 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.
