Commencal Meta SX V5 – 2026

The Commencal Meta SX V5 is an alloy enduro and freeride mountain bike with 165mm of rear travel, a 170mm Fox 38 fork and a mullet wheel setup — a 29″ front wheel and a 27.5″ rear. It is offered at outset.bike in two 2026 builds — Signature in Pure White and Essential in Pure White — in sizes S, M, L and XL.

At outset.bike, we stock bikes we genuinely believe in. The Meta SX V5 is the gravity-leaning Meta — built for steep natural tracks, jumps and bike park laps — and the 2026 builds put the same frame as the current bike under sharper pricing.

A MULLET ENDURO PLATFORM

Commencal builds the Meta SX V5 around a triple butted 6066 alloy frame that weighs just 4.08kg, with 165mm of rear travel on a 230 x 65mm shock and a custom upper chain guide over an ISCG 05 lower mount. The mullet format pairs a 29″ front wheel for rolling speed with a 27.5″ rear for clearance and agility on steep terrain, with a 64° head angle, a 77.5° seat tube angle and recommended sag of 27–30%. Why it matters: the SX takes the Meta platform and points it downhill — it pedals to the top, but it is built for the way back down.

CHOOSING YOUR BUILD

Signature – Pure White is the top build: a Fox 38 Factory fork and a Fox Float X2 Factory shock with a 2-position lever. Shifting is SRAM Eagle 90 T-Type 12-speed with SRAM X0 T-Type cranks and a GX T-Type 10–52T cassette, braking is Shimano XT 4-piston on 203mm MT905 rotors, and the wheels are DT Swiss EX1700 rims on 350 hubs. A OneUp V3 dropper (125mm on S, 170mm on M, 190mm on L and XL) and Maxxis Assegai MaxxGrip front / DHR II MaxxTerra rear tyres in the new EXO+ casing finish it. It weighs 16.3kg (average size S, without pedals).

Essential – Pure White is the Fox Performance and Shimano build: a Fox 38 Performance fork and a Fox Float X Performance shock with a 2-position adjuster. The drivetrain is full Shimano SLX 12-speed with a 10–51T cassette, braking is Shimano SLX 4-piston on 203mm rotors, and the wheels are DT Swiss E593 rims with the same Maxxis Assegai / DHR II EXO+ tyre pairing. A KS Rage-I dropper (125mm on S, 170mm on M, 190mm on L and XL) completes it. It weighs 16.5kg (average size S, without pedals).
