At 2149 euros, the new Meta-AM hardtail is the cheapest bike among those tested. New bikes for 2021. Just like the Stanton steel hardtail, the mail-order bike with its 150 millimetre fork belongs to the trail hardtail category and is even touted by Commençal as the most versatile bike in the model range. From pump track to enduro use, everything should be possible. Compared to its predecessor, the aluminium frame has been put on a diet.
The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them - hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
