The Commencal Meta HT AM really knocked our socks off during testing and was a blast to ride in virtually all situations. The versatile hardtail rolls on 27.5+-inch wheels and tires and charges hard in aggressive terrain and is super playful and fun-loving. Its geometry is aggressive enough to be stable at speed and confidence-inspiring on gnarly trails, yet it's not so long or slack that it becomes a handful at lower speeds or in tighter terrain. The 27.5-inch wheels and moderate reach and wheelbase also help to give the bike an eagerness to get off the ground, manual dips in the trail, and slap some corners. It's also a comfortable and relatively efficient climber that seemed to encourage our testers to get out of the saddle and stay on the gas. Commencal's consumer-direct sales model means that you get a lot for your money, and the Essential build we tested blows the doors off most other bikes in this price range.
Given its plus-sized tires and relatively slack front end, the Meta HT AM isn't the zippiest or most efficient hardtail in the world. Those big ol' tires do provide a nice damp ride feel, but they aren't the fastest rolling, and this bike can feel a little boring on mellower trails and terrain. That said, this isn't intended to be an XC bike, and we think most people riding the Meta HT will probably be having too much fun to care. We were truly impressed by this bike, and we feel it would be a great addition to anyone's bike quiver, or as a low-maintenance daily driver.

The bikes I looked into when I got one last year were the commencal meta ht, canyon stoic (adding this as it came out after I purchased one), Kona honzo, and nuke proof scout. Something in this range will grow with you and give you a really well rounded hardtail that can do everything from tech, flow and dirt jumps. I went with the commencal meta ht essential and love it. Good luck!

All your suggestions for bikes, things to look for or stay away from in a bike are welcome! Trying to make this a post that can be referenced off of for others too. 


1. How can I know what makes a bike valuable? Is there any easy way to guage how good a part/specs are of a bike? (Besides rhe frame material, thats a given)

2. Can you build bikes yourself like computers to be cheaper or is it a completely different story?

3. I know I don't understand wtf the differences between certain parts are, but what about bike lines? For example Trek Roscoe vs Martin ect. What makes all of the bike lines different, and how can I "know" what they are for? (I can assume the numbers mean how top of the line they are, but also is there a certain point that the best of one line wouldnt be worth it compared to another lines lower model?)

4. This one will be a no brainer for you guys, but because I am a noob I have to ask: How does a $500 hardtail compare to a $1000 hardtail? Sure the parts are better, but *what* makes them better?

5. Branching off of #4, what would be the price range for a beginner? From what I have heard I dont like the idea of a super cheap bike, but I dont know if I can take full advantage of something $1500+

6. Obligitory one: at the moment I like flowy, easy-to-go-fast-on trails/parks. I also think offroading in more technical trails is interesting, but I like the roller coaster feel of bike parks better. I have really thought about the Roscoe 7 but then saw the Stance 29 2 and still dont know which is better for my needs as they both are about the same price (lets ignore my point in #5). People say the Stance is good for beginners but is not meant to be "sent" with, can this be bad? I dont want to break a bike for going too crazy lol.


P.S. I think its also worth saying I have a bike, but its really old with spring suspension and rim brakes. So it was good for the time but I cant adjust the suspension down a lot since I am a lightweight. I have thought about upgrading it, but wanted to see my options of getting a modern bike.

New MTB lover here, I have questions that are asked not so often. (And some that are)

Most bikes can't withstand repeated hard bottom outs. For good strong aluminum frames, Commencal Meta AM is a good choice, but they are heavy. Pole bicycles is another good choice with their CNC frames since CNC process is pretty reliable these days, and the [7075 T6](https://www.makeitfrom

I have just damaged two carbon frames in 5 months (Nukeproof Mega and S-Works Enduro) after riding my 2016 Capra AL for 5 years without any significant frame damage.

It’s dawning on me that I’ll need a second bike, I am looking into a Commencal Meta since I have heard their frames last a long time and can handle hard riding.

Do you guys have any other frame suggestions?

Specialized refused to warranty my S-Works frame so I’d prefer a company that stands behind the quality of their bikes with a decent warranty like Nukeproof.

Looking for the most durable enduro bike frame (aluminum or carbon)

I suggest the meta HT, but I'm biased. Make sure you upgrade to at least a GX derailleur and shifter, and get a dropper post.

Consumer Reports

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ripmo V2 impressed our testers and is the best all-around trail bike we've ever tested. The Ripmo's geometry was updated to make it slacker and longer, and the suspension kinematics were adjusted to make it more progressive at the end of the stroke. This long-legged 29er was already a confident and capable descender, but now it feels even more composed in gnarly terrain and stable at speed with improved big hit performance. Short chainstays keep the rear end sporty, and it's just as lively and energetic with responsive and precise handling. The V2 maintains its incredible climbing abilities with the efficient DW-Link suspension platform, a steep seat tube angle, and very direct power transfer. Superlatives like "quiver killer" come to mind with the Ripmo, as this is one bike that can do it and do it all well.
The Ripmo V2 is an excellent aggressive trail bike with an amazing combination of uphill and downhill performance. This bike makes a lot of sense for the rider who wants a bike that climbs well without sacrificing any performance on the way back down. This bike is supremely versatile and we'd recommend it to just about anyone.

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ibis Ripmo V2 is even more impressive than the original. The head tube angle has been slackened to 64.9-degrees, the wheelbase lengthened, and the suspension curve tweaked for more progression at the end of the stroke. While those changes may sound minor, the new Ripmo is notably more confident and capable in aggressive terrain and at speed. Despite the geometry changes, this bike maintains its mythical climbing abilities, excellent low-speed handling, and maneuverability in tight, technical terrain. The DW-Link suspension provides a calm and stable pedal platform, excellent small bump compliance, great mid-stroke support, and the increased progressiveness is noticeable on bigger hits. We think that Ibis really hit the nail on the head with the V2 as there was seemingly nowhere this bike didn't perform well for our testers. Whether scrambling up a steep climb or charging down a descent, this bike was comfortable, composed, and intuitive. Our testers aren't always on the same page, but it was easy for them to agree that the Ripmo V2 is one of the best bikes they've ever ridden.
