Key differences

Supported differences are shown below. Data limitations are labeled separately.

  1. Identity & price

    2023 Commencal META V5 ESSENTIAL had an original MSRP $1,200 lower than 2027 Commencal META V5 ESSENTIAL.

    Original MSRP is the published list price when new, not today’s used-bike value.

  2. Data limitation

    Published weights cannot be compared because the measurement conditions are missing or differ.

Selected-size geometry

Geometry overlay

Frames share one scale and a bottom-bracket alignment. Size labels differ by brand; schematic drawing aids are identified below.

Gearing comparison

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

RPM

RPM = pedal turns per minute.

2023 Commencal META V5 ESSENTIALSize M · Low · 32T · 10–51T
Lowest0.63:1Highest3.20:1Total range510%
Estimated speed at 90 RPMLowest gear4.9 mphHighest gear25.1 mph

2027 Commencal META V5 ESSENTIALSize M · Low · 32T · 10–52T · 12-speed
Lowest0.62:1Highest3.20:1Total range520%

Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.

How it works

Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.
