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 Mountain Bikes. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Commencal Meta Power 29 SX Race E-Bike 2021.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Commencal Meta Power 29 SX Race E-Bike 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 Mountain Bikes. 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 Mountain Bikes. 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 Mountain Bikes 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 Mountain Bikes.

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.

  • Description: Commencal Meta Power SX Race E-Bike The Commencal Meta Power SX provides levels of power, agility and control like no other E-Bike on the market today. It features a strong and modern-geometry equipped alloy frame, RockShox suspension, a SRAM Eagle 12-Speed drivetrain and a powerful Shimano electronic motor drive. This bike is a versatile off-road machine that’s efficient and stable to make long climbs easier and agile and controlled to dominate steep descents.27.5″ Wheels and Long Travel Suspension E-BikeSince it arrived onto the MTB scene, the Meta Power SX has given many riders the chance to (re)discover ebikes in a very different light. It’s a 27-inch model with long travel that extenuates pure riding with the best trajectory, so there’s no more excuses on hardest, steepest sections. Now, this platform has improved in many areas and all are proving to be even more effective and beneficial for riding anywhere on the mountainside. Powerful and Efficient Shimano EP8 Electronic Motor DriveThis Meta Power SX is now equipped with the new Shimano EP8 engine. With a torque of 85 N.m, the power output curve has been improved to result in a bike that’s smoother and more responsive to pedal strokes. The positioning of the motor is such to enable the lowest battery position possible, meaning much better weight distribution. A new engine mount combined with a new generation engine guard, both optimise space and reduce the risks of catching the ground. Finally, a new 630Wh battery increases capacity a lot. This pushes the Meta Power SX into the realms of being more of a ‘shuttle bike’ – it climbs without a fuss for as many descents as your arms can cope with! Enduro Geometry for All Terrain ConditionsThis Meta Power also sees an increase in travel to 180mm at the front and 165mm on the back. With 27.5 wheels the bike feels at ease through short steep chutes where a lot of downforce is applied. The geometry has been designed accordingly with a long front and a slacker steerer angle. Everything is held with a 40mm stem to provide excellent downhill positioning, where this bike is completely at home. Longer in length, it also gains in stability on all types of terrain. RockShox Suspension Optimised for E-Bike RidingIt features the best RockShox suspension currently available for enduro. Up front, the new ZEB Ultimate fork with 38mm uppers offer all the necessary adjustments, both hydraulically and with its completely redesigned Debonair air spring. On the back the Super Deluxe Ultimate shock. All for maximum grip and performance on the most demanding trails and terrain. SRAM Eagle 12-Speed Drivetrain and Code R BrakesThe SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain features a 10-52t wide gear set. An example of reliability and precision that allows you to tackle climbs in peace and with panache! The SRAM Code R brakes provide power, a true-touch-feel and reliability. Finally, ebike specific E13 wheels are designed to withstand the harshest knocks and shocks. And that’s ideal because this bike is made for that!
