Commencal celebrates 20th birthday with LTD Edition Meta AM 29 XX

Commencal is celebrating its 20th birthday with the release of the limited edition Commencal Meta AM 29 XX with AXS components and holographic decals.

Commencal is celebrating 20 years this year and has launched a limited edition Meta AM 29 XX. Each Meta AM XX will be numbered and only 100 of the special bikes will be produced, with one-off holographic decals but only 99 will actually go on sale.

Being a limited edition super-bling bike, Commencal has built these bikes up with some dream kit including wireless SRAM AXS drivetrain, wireless Reverb dropper post and a mix of E13 components with matching graphics.

Earlier this year Andi was actually at Commencal and snapped a few photos of a preproduction model of the XX. The drivetrain isn’t AXS as it was just a sample bike, but these photos will give you an idea of what the bike looks like in the sun.

The XX is on pre-sale now at the Commencal website at €6999.00.

Commencal Meta AM 29 XX Press Release;

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 steers 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.
