Commencal Meta Power TR Fork Length: Height Limits and Offset
Commencal Meta Power TR fork length is specified separately from travel in the Shimano technical record. It lists recommended and maximum fork heights of 566 and 576 mm, while the original RACE build names a 150 mm ROCKSHOX Lyrik Ultimate. A travel label alone therefore does not answer the complete replacement question. If you are checking a fork for the Commencal META POWER TR SHIMANO RACE BRUSHED Bike, compare both its height and travel with the Shimano record. A previous owner may have fitted a different fork.
Commencal Meta Power TR fork length and travel
The archived 2022 sheet repeats the 566/576 mm height entries and describes a 29-inch Lyrik Ultimate with 150 mm travel. Keep the recommended value, maximum value and travel designation in separate fields. Do not relabel 576 mm as travel or treat the larger number as the original installed fork’s measured length.
The current family presentation also carries a 150–160 mm travel headline. That headline should not erase the model’s recorded fork-height boundary. A proposed fork needs its own documented dimensions and a frame-specific compatibility answer; the presence of 160 in a family banner is not approval for every fork advertised with that travel.
Keep 42 and 44 mm offset attached to their sources
The RACE build entry gives 42 mm offset for the original Lyrik. The archived 2022 specification agrees. However, the current geometry table prints 44 mm offset with its 566 mm fork reference. These are different entries, and this guide has no verified correction that makes them identical.
Show both records when asking the manufacturer or supplier about a replacement. The existence of a plausible matching fork is not evidence that one source entry can be discarded. A photograph of a different historical FOX-equipped family build cannot resolve the disagreement for the RACE.
Check the rest of the proposed assembly
The original fork listing also names a 15×110 mm Boost front interface, and the frame documentation lists a ZS56/ZS66 headset arrangement. Those entries help identify the surrounding system. They do not supply every steerer, headset, brake or installation requirement for a replacement fork chosen later.
Give the workshop the frame identity, the actual fitted fork and the candidate’s complete specification. Explain whether the objective is servicing, replacing damage or changing equipment. Keep the unresolved offset question open until it is answered, rather than combining convenient height and offset values into an unsupported compatibility claim.
The topic and family introduction provide background on Commencal’s platforms. A replacement decision needs the Shimano model’s own limits and the exact proposed fork.
FAQ
What maximum fork height does the Shimano record print?
It prints 576 mm, separately from the 566 mm recommended height.
Which offset is listed for the original RACE fork?
The build entry and archived sheet list 42 mm; the current geometry table instead prints 44 mm.
Does the family’s 160 mm headline approve every such fork?
No. The actual dimensions and complete frame-specific installation still require confirmation.
