Bike Check: Commencal Meta AM 29 by Tom Bradshaw
Bradshaw opted for the Meta AM 29, with a 170mm fork and 160mm rear travel for maximum chunder-eating ability. Tom is a fit guy, with an all-terrain Everest on Fromme Mountain on the North Vancouver coast in his back pocket, as well as a few XC World Cup races under his belt as a junior and he says he has no problem pedaling bigger bicycle.
Bradshaw loves this funny Type 2 fun (miserable as it happens, but fun in retrospect) that borders on Type 3 (not fun at all, not even in retrospect) and in his most recent Pinkbike video he tries to ride 100 tracks in a day in Cumberland, BC on the Meta AM 29.
200mm front and rear discs for SRAM RSC codes.
Bradshaw says he runs his bite point dangerously close to the bar because he feels more comfortable with his fingers closer to a fist.

Never happy to ride.
