How it compares
170 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 170 mm median of the 56 bikes in the “e-enduro bike” category in our database. The rear offers 165 mm, 5 mm less than the front. Within Commencal’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Commencal T.E.M.P.O. Power and the Commencal Meta Power SX 800 on travel. Commencal builds the frame from aluminium.
Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX and RockShox. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 38 Performance E-Bike to the ROCKSHOX DOMAIN RC. Drive comes from BOSCH Performance Line CX or SHIMANO DU-EP800, paired with 625–630 Wh of battery capacity.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 38 Performance E-Bike): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- 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 (FOX Float X Performance): 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 V4
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.
170 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. 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: Rear: MAXXIS DHR II - Front: MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: SCHWALBE Big Betty - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary.

| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion (or on the shock) 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.
