META AM 29 XX Edition 2020
{{::translation.needHelp.label}}
After all, we're only 20 years old!Starting from scratch in the 80's wasn't easy.Starting again from scratch in the year 2000 was another story.In the midst of the giants of the industry, how do we make our mark?Simply by following our path. The one that involves competing.We spend all our energy (and our money 😅) on getting to the top steps of world class podiums. Sometimes it works and we spray champagne. We love champagne.Maybe sometimes it's not enough. That's sport.But every time we move forward we learn.We learn from winners and champions who keep us busy pushing us to raise our game by demanding ever more efficient products from us.Miguel MARTINEZ, Christophe DUPOUEY, Rémy ABSALON, Rachel, Gee & Dan ATHERTON, Cédric GRACIA, Romain SALADINI, Anne-Caroline CHAUSSON, Rémi THIRION, Myriam NICOLE, Cécile RAVANEL, Thibaut DAPRELA, Amaury PIERRON.So many big names who won their first major titles in our colours.Loads of reasons to look back on these 20 years with huge pride.In order to celebrate this landmark, at first we thought about making a vintage bike, which would represent our colourful history.But at 20, we're not really old enough to be nostalgic yet. We'll have time for that in the future.At this age we're full of ideas and energy. We look forward.So we have created a bike that turns towards the future.XX Edition.A sleek bike with the all new SRAM AXS wireless transmission and seat post.A design with a bit of bling (of course!) with its pearly white paint and oil slick graphics.It's a bike that really represents us.And because we wanted this bike to be super special we decided to produce just 100 of them.We've made 100 but only 99 will be for sale.We're keeping one for our museum.Because one day there will come a time when we'll be old enough to sit down and reflect. When we'll look back and come across this bike.And hopefully we will be proud.

Riders Insight
- The COMMENCAL climbs well, above all thanks to the balanced seating position / The bike will compensate for any lack of riding technique. / The componentry left nothing to desire.ENDURO MTB
- Excellent parts spec for the price // Excels on rough, steep terrains // the Meta's short back end fit the overall manners of the bike very well, keeping it quick in the corners, and facilitating rapid direction changesPINKBIKE
- A bike to ride hard! // Compact is the first word that comes to mind. Almost unheard of for a 29er! // The META AM 29 inspires confidence, reliability and strength... In short, stiffness is here!ENDUROTRIBE
- The composed ride gives extra confidence when things turn more technical and steep. It's certainly not a bike that's scared of tight corners. I can confidently say I've never ridden a bike so fast.BIKE RADAR
- If asked to sum up the Meta AM 29 in one word, "balanced" would be a good choice. "Ready for anything" would be another way to describe it. We were impressed with just how easily such a big bike was able to deal with several long and steep climbs. Whether carving turns or getting off the brakes down a rock-strewn single, we found the new bike fun and easy to ride.VITAL MTB
- The META AM 29 made me discover new things! Behind the handlebars, I am in control, all the while maintaining grip, the same as through rough sections. No questions asked. Everything is easier with this bike. I really love it and since my injury, I miss it...Cécile Ravanel
- Since i've been using it i've had a hard time going back to using conventional transmission.ANTOINE VIDAL
- I can make my own choices and transmission settings via the SRAM AXS bluetooth app.ANTOINE VIDAL
- This system has become indispensable for enduro and I really want to be able to use it for DH too!ANTOINE VIDAL
