2025 Commencal Meta HT V3
Riding a hardtail is a true state of mind; it's about putting the joy of riding at the center of the game, without artifice. Don't be fooled by appearances, the META HT is capable of handling all trails: from small natural singles to the most challenging enduro specials. In its ultimate V3 version, the META HT returns with a completely redesigned aluminum frame to improve comfort, rethought geometry to inspire confidence, and new frame protections to ride with peace of mind.
• SIMPLICITY IS KEY. Riding a hardtail is a state of mind. It’s all about putting the joy of riding at the centre of the experience, without any gimmicks. This third version of the META HT has been freshened up thanks to:
- A completely redesigned aluminium frame to improve comfort.
- New geometry designed to inspire confidence.
- New frame protection for carefree riding on all types of trails.
- Curved and rounded seat stays connect directly to the top tube without a bridge, offering an unprecedented level of comfort for a hardtail
- The new 7556/7S56 standard head tube allows the use of angle-set or offset headsets.
- The brake calliper is protected between the seat stay and the chain stay.
- Now UDH compatible for use with the latest SRAM T-Type drivetrain.
- The bottom bracket retains the BSA standard for easier maintenance
• A COMPLETELY REVISED FRAME. The design brief for the META HT V3 was clear:
- Keep the DNA that makes the META HT the benchmark in its category.
- Optimise crucial elements such as comfort and pedalling position.
- The 29" wheels paired with wide tyres (up to 67mm wide) add even more comfort and tolerance to the drivetrain. The size S features a 27.5" rear wheel to maintain manoeuvrability and tyre clearance, especially on steeper terrain.
• RIDE-SPECIFIC GEOMETRY. The behaviour of a hardtail is completely different to a full-suspension bike, which is why we designed its geometry specifically.
• REACH. The reach has been slightly extended to provide greater stability while maintaining agility during weight transfer on slopes
• HEAD ANGLE. The 64.5mm head angle allows for confident riding on any trail, while facilitating front-end grip on flatter trails.
• SEAT ANGLE . A steeper seat tube angle boosts pedalling efficiency uphill. On L/XL sizes, the seat tube has been shortened to allow for more freedom of movement on the bike
• CHAIN STAYS. The chain stays are short (430mm) to facilitate rear wheel placement and maintain the playful character of a hardtail.
The reliability of our products has always been a priority. In addition to our own tests, we decided to put the META HT V3 to the test at EFBE. An independent laboratory that offers tests above the ISO 4210 standard.
AN IMPECCABLE FINISH
The META HT V3 benefits from numerous aesthetic and, more importantly, functional improvements:
• The specific chain stay protector uses dual-density material to reduce noise and provide excellent frame protection
• A chain-suck guard is factory-fitted to protect the chain stay
• A chain-suck guard is factory-fitted to protect the chain stay.
• The frame also now features two mounts for attaching bottles or tools, including a pre-installed FIDLOCK mount.
The META HT V3 frame is therefore EFBE 5 certified.
Specific to gravity and e-bike practices, it is the highest possible classification for a mountain bike in terms of reliability and resistance.
