New META HT AM: Lower profile to get higher!The META HT AM continues on its own path. Our research shows that this is the most versatile bike across our entire range.Enduro, off-road, urban playgrounds or pump track, it's literally at home everywhere.We believed in this niche several years ago and since then we've become real specialists. To stay ahead of the curve, we're looking at the little details that make the difference. On this new version, the seat tube is lowered. Two advantages: 1) It is now possible to install a longer travel seat post. 2) The choice of size is no longer restricted by a seat tube that's too high. Which is particularly useful for those who want a longer bike.For the rest, we've tweaked our formula. A semi-rigid frame allows more pedalling efficiency, a lighter weight and it reduces essential maintenance. A 150mm or 160mm fork provides comfort and/or safety depending on what you're riding.The frame facilitates 27.5 and 29-inch wheels. 27.5 for small and medium sized riders. Or simply for those who prefer increased handling, comfort and grip. 29 for medium and large sized riders. Or for those who favour efficiency, precision and performance.A first-choice bike for some, a second or third choice for others, the META HT AM is one of those bikes that quite simply makes you want to ride. About the META HT AM 29 RACEThe 'Matte Graphite' paint job immediately excited us and that sets the tone for this 29er model!As the name suggests this is a performance focused model. With 29-inch SPANK wheels and 2.4 MAXXIS tyres, it oozes precision and efficiency, whatever the terrain. Equipped with a FOX 36 Performance 150mm fork, this precision is guaranteed, in particular thanks to the 36mm upper tubes. It also features the 3-position grip cartridge and pneumatic Float Evol spring that means adjusting the stiffness is a breeze. The SHIMANO Deore brakes are particularly powerful and durable, in fact, they're famous for their bite. The KS seat post is added to link up pedalling and DH sections seamlessly. As for the 12-speed SHIMANO Deore transmission, we have a 10-51t cassette and makes this model a formidable pedaler.That full-suspension bike had better watch out!
