How it compares
150–160 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 150 mm median of the 101 bikes in the “e-MTB for trail and touring” category in our database. Among Commencal’s e-mountain bikes, the Commencal Meta Power TR V4 has the shortest fork travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Depending on the build, fork and shock come from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 36 Performance E-Bike to the ROCKSHOX 35 Gold RL. The Meta Power TR Bosch Race build uses a coil shock (ROCKSHOX Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure. It is powered by BOSCH Performance Line CX or BOSCH Performance Line CX Gen 4 or SHIMANO DU-EP800 with a 625–630 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (FOX 36 Performance E-Bike): 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.
- Coil spring (ROCKSHOX Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate): if SAG is off, only a different spring rate will fix it. Preload should just keep the spring from rattling; more preload makes the shock less supple.
- Shock (FOX Float DPS 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: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta Power TR V4
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Commencal take priority.
150 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (Meta Power TR Bosch Essential, Meta Power TR Bosch Ohlins Edition, Meta Power TR Bosch Ride, Meta Power TR Shimano Ohlins Edition)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 26 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 30 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 33 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 30 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
160 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (Meta Power TR Bosch Limited, Meta Power TR Bosch Race)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 27 mm | 24 % = 13.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 32 mm | 28 % = 15.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 35 mm | 30 % = 16.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 32 mm | 27 % = 14.9 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. 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 DHR II - Front: MAXXIS DHR II; Rear: SCHWALBE Nobby Nic - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary; SCHWALBE MAGIC MARY.
| 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
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker (or on the shock) or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
