How it compares

At 160 mm, fork travel is 10 mm shorter than the median of the “enduro bike” category (170 mm, 41 bikes). The rear offers 150 mm, 10 mm less than the front. Within Commencal’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Commencal Meta TR V4 and the Commencal Meta SX V4 on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.

For suspension, Commencal combines components from FOX, RockShox and Öhlins. The fork line-up ranges from the FOX 36 Performance to the FOX 36 Factory. The Ohlins Edition build uses a coil shock (OHLINS TTX22 M.2 Coil), so SAG is set with the spring rate rather than air pressure.

Setup notes for this spec

Air fork (FOX 36 Performance): 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 RockShox suspension the rebound adjuster is red. Always count clicks from fully closed (clockwise to the stop) so you can return to any setting.
Coil shock (OHLINS TTX22 M.2 Coil): SAG is determined by the spring rate. Only add enough preload to stop the spring from rattling.
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.

Target SAG for the Commencal Meta V5

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.

160 mm fork, 55.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)

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

Basis: 2.40″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing. 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 :; Rear : MAXXIS DHR II - Front : MAXXIS Assegai; Rear: MAXXIS DHR II - Front: MAXXIS DHR II; Rear: SCHWALBE Magic Mary - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary; Rear: SCHWALBE Nobby Nic - Front: SCHWALBE Magic Mary; Rear: SCHWALBE Tacky Chan - 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.

Note: no guarantee is given. Specs can vary by model year, size and country; the type plate, the manual and Commencal are authoritative. The maximum pressures of fork, shock, tyres and rims always apply.
