- Good color choice (White and Lagoon Blue Option)
- 34.9mm dropper post diameter for better bushing overlap
- Good amounts and quality of rubber frame protection
- Minimum 200mm rear rotor
- Standard boost spacing
- 4x paint chips on frame, size of pencil erasers
- Rear brake mount required sanding and alignment, had overshots of welding material
- Almost all threaded holes had paint or other heavy residue in them making installation of any bolts a pain
When the new revision of the Meta AM, the geometry reached a near perfect level of aggressiveness. The amount of travel is ideal for this super-duro bike, while being progressive enough to maintain a lighter trail feel than a thoroughbred DH bike. The color ways were very good looking online, and they proved to be brilliant and deep in real life.
The ride feel is exceptional, with plenty of small bump sensitivity, and end stroke progression. It is heavy, my build turned out to be 38 lbs but this adds to its character and isn't super noticeable on the climbs compared to bikes of similar travel. My previous Yeti SB150 felt just as difficult to maneuver uphill.
However, the quality control on the White/Lagoon Blue frame I received was sub-par. That is the only true downside.
