Commencal Meta Power TR Shock Size: Separate Dimensions and Spring
Commencal Meta Power TR shock size for the documented Shimano RACE is 210×55 mm. The current technical table gives 20×10 mm mounting hardware at one end and says no bushing is needed on the yoke. The separate 140 mm rear-travel figure describes wheel movement, not the shock’s stroke or overall size. The Commencal META POWER TR SHIMANO RACE BRUSHED Bike is the RACE version discussed here. Read its ROCKSHOX coil specification from the manufacturer record, rather than from the different air shock visible in the historical photo.
Commencal Meta Power TR shock size needs both mounts
The archived 2022 build identifies a ROCKSHOX Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate at 210×55 mm. The current page repeats that model and size. Keep the technical table’s 20×10 mm/no-bushing-on-yoke wording with the dimensions when discussing a replacement; an advert quoting only 210×55 leaves the mounting arrangement incomplete.
Matching those numbers does not approve every shock of the same nominal size. The complete unit, its clearance and the appropriate configuration still need assessment for the identified frame. Neither source supplies permission to improvise different hardware merely because a spacer appears close to the required dimensions.
Read stock spring entries as stock entries
The archived sheet lists 350 lb for small and medium, 400 lb for large and 450 lb for extra large in the spring-rate description. The current build page gives the same sequence. Those are the manufacturer’s size-related build entries; they are not a spring calculator using the weight or preferences of an individual rider.
The current technical record separately lists recommended sag as 26–30%, with a 14–17 mm entry. Preserve the source’s wording rather than converting the stock spring list into a universal adjustment prescription. A spring or shock change should be discussed with a suspension specialist using the actual rider and bicycle information.
Keep the historical photo in its limited role
A FOX air shock is visible in the older launch-family image, whereas the RACE sheet describes a ROCKSHOX coil unit. The shared platform context does not turn those two assemblies into the same build. No shock identity, installed spring rate or replacement approval is inferred from that photograph.
For a useful service enquiry, name the frame, current shock and reason for the work, and include the mounting record. Distinguish a repair from a proposed equipment change. This article provides identification information, leaving disassembly, spring work and final compatibility to the applicable instructions and an appropriately equipped person.
Use the topic directory and brand introduction for platform context. The dimensions, mount description and spring question here belong to the identified Shimano RACE documentation.
FAQ
Is 140 mm the listed shock stroke?
No. It is rear-wheel travel; the documented shock is separately designated 210×55 mm.
Does the stock XL spring entry fit every rider?
No. A frame-size build entry is not a rider-specific spring recommendation.
Does the historical FOX shock prove the RACE specification?
No. The photograph explicitly shows different equipment from the documented RACE coil build.
