Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying MTB Frames. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Commencal Meta HT AM Hardtail Frame 2021.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Commencal Meta HT AM Hardtail Frame 2021 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new MTB Frames. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling MTB Frames. Brands like Commencal are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the MTB Frames category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for MTB Frames.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

Other modern touches include internal cable routing, dropper seatpost cable routing, plus moulded chainstay and seatstay protectors as a barrier against chain slap. The Boost type spacing at the rear enables the use of wider hubs and wheels for better stability and power transfer.Modern Hardtail Mountain Bike Frame with Updated GeometryThe first-choice for many, the Meta HT AM frame quite simply makes you want to ride. To stay ahead of the curve, Commencal looked at the little details that make the difference. On this updated version, the seat tube is lowered, which means it is now possible to install a longer travel seat post. Also, the choice of size is no longer restricted by a seat tube that’s too high – this is particularly useful for those who want a longer bike.Compatible with 650b and 29er WheelsA semi-rigid frame allows more pedalling efficiency, has a lighter weight and it reduces essential maintenance.
