Hot off the PB press:
Not been a fan of how they used to look but these look lovely with a neat shock mounting

It is nice but at this moment in time I think I prefer the old V3 platform, I do like the way the shock is recessed into the frame though.
The way the shock is recessed in to the frame, make it scream "weak point" to me, I very much doubt it is but it just looks wrong (to me).
Also are those shock mounts integral to the shock (ala Spesh Enduro) or does it fit to a std shock? Specific/custom shocks really put me off stuff.
That does look very nice, especially the choice of colours.
No, I will not get distracted by one!
The trail version looks excellent for doing a bit of everything. They seem a bit more reasonably priced than before too (assuming everyone didn't just buy them from CRC for 40% off).
Very rare to see a susser with lines as nice as that. Lovely.
Nice lines but my oh my, those are some off-putting decals.
looks like a stumpjumper to me

Agreed, Commencal decals are awful at the moment
META V4 AM
Oh dear, looks like I'm buying a new frame.
*cough* Kona Process *cough*
Didnt like it, but then I saw the fluro yellow black am & have to have one!
Had last years am1 in 26" and currently have the am1 29"
The capra was top of my list for a replacement, but I think this edges that into 2nd place.
Prices look good also, looking forward to the full specs & some more reviews.
With the shock tucked away like that the top tube flows nicely to the seat stays which then flow down to the rear axle and it almost creates a single line in doing so, much like a hardtail.
Beautiful.
Most full sussers are ugly functional products but this looks like some passion actually went into the design. Good stuff.
Murdered out, now with blood 🙂
Interesting to see how the AM V4 compares to the Capra.
Nice vid too...although it was adorned with BOS front and rear not as stated in the specs.
I like the look of the 120mm one. Top Tubes used to be a bit short, but this looks about right with a 50mm ish stem. Quite like the look of the carbon Saracen 650B as well. Not that I need another bike, but if I did....
