META HT - Kyle STRAIT

We all know Kyle Strait for his FRS Rampage runs. But day-to-day he’s just a normal guy who likes to change things up... And what better way to do that than by choosing the META HT AM!
"For me it’s not always a full on race every time I ride. I don’t need to go Mach 10 on all trail rides. I found that I can have more fun on my local trails and fine tune my skills on the META HT. Picking the right line keeps me focused all while being able to keep up on the climbs with my fitter friends. The META HT has a slacker head angle which makes it feel very similar to my other bikes. I’m thinking about making a hardtail gang, who wants in?”

YESSSS some hardtail love!

[@METEORA_47]

hardcore hardtail 🤘

[@Kyleisaac345]

My '21 Meta HT is the most versatile bike ive ever ridden. Dirts jumps to bike park as is shown here. Great riding, Kyle.

[@GRANTROBERTPETERS]

How many spacers do you run and what bar rise also pls

[@roelsmasterpiece9986]

My meta also climb better than my 2012 xc bike. I thought it was impossible but with when I tried it I was surprised.

[@joellewis759]

That best hardtail in the world! Insane rider as well! 👌🏼🔥

[@andersonnjayco647]

Commencal is the only bike company that plays doom metal. The best genre for this type of riding imo 🤘

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Damn Strait. 1 of the LEGENDS in the MTB sport. Love the Bubba scrubs. And decent music.🤘

[@trailspirit]

Kyle Strait/ Black Sabbath/ Commencal. No more needs to be said!

[@muzicianzero3328]

Indeed

[@macoly]

How much travel on the fork did he use in this video?

[@dumsbike]

wowwwww!!!!

[@Enduro.willy.]

Hy i need a Dealer in Germany have you any Idea who can find it ? I Love your Bikes! and Kyle strait Rocks 🥰🥰

[@matthewleong8573]

So smooth! Is he riding a 27.5" or 29" model of the Meta HT?

[@GRANTROBERTPETERS]

Probably med 2023 as it’s got 27.5 rear wheel and 29 front. You can run 2929 on all 2023 even the small.

[@GRANTROBERTPETERS]

I’ve just bought a 2023 med and will be running 2929

[@mudspencer7411]

So sick!! What wheel size is he on??

[@allblack2977]

Mullet

[@amanciber11]

He is riding 29 in both wheels

[@allblack2977]

@@amanciber11 I thought the metas were mullet setup ??

[@amanciber11]

@@allblack2977 depends on what frame size. In bigger sizes you have 29er like the one Kyle is riding in this video (not sure if he is large or extra large). The smaller frames have mullet configuration.

[@joaoaraujo-ov7zn]

CommenÇal !!!!!!!!

[@BlazeTechMedia]

all i have to say is bring back 2SIX.... and release Git Sum on youtube please Kyle

[@TrentMTBSD]

I have ridden there. It's a secret!

[@m.collapso]

Wal-Mart!

[@olwa_cycling]

This bike really makes me question the necessity of a rear damper

[@treyelefsen1689]

U can ride the meta ht just as hard as any full sus with similar geo/travel, obviously it’s gonna be a bit more rough due to the lack of rear suspension but you can still ride the ht hard

[@olwa_cycling]

@@treyelefsen1689 I know I got it 😉

[@treyelefsen1689]

@@olwa_cycling same been thrashing mine for about 8 months and it’s never let me down

[@stevemcwright9457]

Better a good HT than a Crap full

[@Vlad-tuapse]

Кризис, хули, подвесы дорогие нынче

[@elquemontabicicleta]

Excellent video but a ZEB on a hardtail? That's crazy even for KS

[@NickArthfael]

Depends, the extra stiffness from the 38 stanchions is nice to have especially with heavy riders on gnarly stuff. I have a 170mm Domain on mine and it's perfect for my riding style and weight (XL frame, 192cm, 95kg without gear).

[@elquemontabicicleta]

@@NickArthfael I get what you are saying and it makes sense when you ride a full sus bike. In my case, my Meta ht comes with Yaris and I think a Pike being a lighter yet capable fork could suit this type of bike a bit better.

[@Beowulf245]

Eh. I mean, this looks pretty cool but this is not even remotely Kyle Strait's level.

[@POUDCHINO]

Seul défaut de ce bike’c'est qu'il soit en alu....
