How it compares
With 150–160 mm at the fork, the Commencal Meta TR V4 sits above average: across the 44 bikes in the “trail bike” category in our database, the median is 140 mm. Within Commencal’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Commencal Meta HT V3 and the Commencal Meta V5 on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
For suspension, Commencal combines components from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. In total, 8 different forks are used, from the FOX 36 Performance to the FOX 38 Factory. The Race build uses a coil shock (ROCKSHOX Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (FOX 36 Performance): 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.
- 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.
- Air shock (FOX Float DPS Performance): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Commencal Meta TR V4
Instead of percentages, this table gives SAG directly in millimetres, measurable with the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft. Change the pressure step by step until you reach the value; if Commencal gives its own target SAG, use that.
150 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (Essential, Ohlins Edition, Origin, Ride)
| 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 (Race, Ride 2025, Signature, Staff Edition)
| 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. 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 Assegai; Rear: MAXXIS Dissector - Front: MAXXIS DHR II; Rear: SCHWALBE Magic Mary - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary; Rear: SCHWALBE Nobby Nic - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary.
| 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 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.
