Unlike the recently announced 2021 Meta TR29 the AM29 seems to have been released quietly and appeared on their webshop today Commencal linky

It looks an interesting Enduro-sled with a super slack 63.6 head and 78.6 seat angles, along with reasonably generous reach but not so long chainstays.

The build options top out with Ohlins and feature Fox forks for other models, but interestingly the fork on the base and mid priced models is blurred out and details with held on the spec sheet.

Given that the rest of the build on the blurred fork models is sram, and all the higher models have 38mm forks…

I think the new Rockshox 38mm enduro fork will be released on the 7th July 😁

Was just coming here to see if anyone had mentioned the meta am yet. Went on the commencal site randomly and it was all there!
Looks like some real good changes. That Öhlins model looks tidy!
A mate has last years one and while nice it rides like you are sat up high. Still a weighty beast but jury is still out with me if that matters!

This is what google said about 38mm Rockshox
pinkbike rumour mill

The base model comes with these that appear to be Lyriks and the blurred models are high up the range

It’s the new RockShox Zeb.

I have an ebike coming with one on.

I wonder where they got the name Zeb from?

On the details spec it says the frame comes with double row Enduro bearings. Trek spec these too on my Slash. They don’t seem to last longer but coet twice as much.

Bang a new EP8 motor in that Ohlins one and 700Wh battery and I’m in

Here is Yoann Barelli riding his 2021 Meta Am29. He seems a bit mad and endearing and has amazing bike skills and commitment.

What a bonkers trail!

Woof

Indeed, but sadly out of stock, and pretty porky once you’ve attached a suitable shock to it.
