Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox: Motor, Spec and Pricing

The Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox is a full-power enduro e-MTB built around the Avinox M2S drive system, 160mm of VCS rear travel and a 29/27.5-inch mullet wheel setup. At CB Cycles we stock two builds: the Podium at $18,800 and the RockShox at $14,600.

The Avinox M2S delivers up to 150Nm of peak torque and 1,300W in Boost mode. An 800Wh battery is fitted to Medium, Large and XL, while Small runs a lighter 600Wh unit. The DP100 touchscreen handles ride data and controls, with wireless handlebar buttons, and both builds use short 155mm cranks for pedal clearance.

Build Fork Shock Drivetrain Price
Podium FOX Podium Factory, GRIP X2 FOX Float X2 Factory SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed $18,800
RockShox RockShox ZEB Ultimate, 170mm RockShox Super Deluxe Select SRAM Eagle 90 T-Type $14,600

The Podium runs DT Swiss HX1700 mullet wheels, Shimano XT four-piston brakes and Galfer Shark rotors. The RockShox build uses DT Swiss H1900 wheels, SRAM Maven four-piston brakes with 220mm rotors, and Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tyres in DoubleDown casings. Commencal's own geometry charts and Avinox system documentation list the full numbers if you want to compare stack and reach before ordering.

Key Takeaway The Podium buys you FOX Factory suspension and a lighter wheelset. The RockShox build keeps the same frame, motor and geometry for $4,200 less.

Avinox Drive System Performance on the Trail

Avinox's M2S is a full-power system tuned for torque rather than outright speed. On steep fire roads and technical climbs, the 150Nm peak figure matters more than the 1,300W Boost ceiling, because torque carries you up ledges when traction is marginal.

The M2S ramps in smoothly at low cadence rather than surging, which keeps the front wheel down on loose South West climbs. Save Boost mode for short, brutal pinches, or you'll drain the 800Wh battery well before the ride ends.

Firmware updates can arrive through the Avinox app. Traction control and power delivery are adjustable per mode, allowing for customisation. If you've bought an Avinox e-MTB elsewhere, we still service and diagnose these systems, and we stock Avinox spare parts for riders Australia-wide.

Pro Tip Log your first few rides in the app before changing anything. The stock tune is a sensible baseline, and it's easier to judge a change when you know what you're changing from.

E-MTB Suspension Setup Guide for the Meta Power SX

Suspension setup on any e-MTB starts with sag, and the Meta Power SX is no exception. Set the rear shock to around 30% sag as a starting point, then adjust to taste.

From there, work in this order:

  1. Set sag front and rear with your riding gear on
  2. Dial rebound to a baseline, then tune on a familiar trail
  3. Add low-speed compression for support in corners and compressions
  4. Tune high-speed compression last, on repeated hard hits
  5. Recheck sag after any spring or pressure change

The Podium's FOX GRIP X2 damper and Float X2 shock offer extensive adjustment, which is both a gift and a trap. Change one setting at a time and ride the same trail.

The RockShox ZEB Ultimate with its Charger 3.2 RC2 damper is a simpler proposition, and for many riders that's an advantage. It's still a serious enduro fork.

The mullet setup's 29-inch front wheel rolls over roots and rock gardens with more confidence, while the 27.5-inch rear keeps the back end agile through tight corners. That combination rewards a slightly more forward riding position than a full 29er, so your setup may shift after a few rides.

If you'd rather have someone else do the work, our workshop handles suspension setup and general servicing on any e-MTB, regardless of where you bought it. You can book a workshop service or drop in to talk through your setup.

Watch Out Running too little sag can impact traction and support. The bike may feel lively in the car park but less stable on the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Avinox drive system in the Commencal Meta Power SX?

The Meta Power SX uses the Avinox M2S motor, which delivers up to 150Nm of peak torque and 1,300W in Boost mode. Power comes from an 800Wh battery on Medium, Large and XL sizes, while Small runs a lighter 600Wh pack. The Avinox DP100 touchscreen handles ride data and system controls, and wireless handlebar buttons keep the cockpit tidy. Riders can adjust power delivery and ride modes through the system.

How does the Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox handle technical terrain?

The Meta Power SX is built around aggressive enduro geometry and 160mm of VCS rear travel, with a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear mullet setup. The bigger front wheel rolls over rocks and roots, while the smaller rear wheel keeps the back end agile through tight corners. Short 155mm cranks add pedal clearance on technical climbs, and the Avinox M2S supplies strong assistance when the gradient steepens.

Yes. CB Cycles specialises in Avinox-powered e-MTBs, with diagnostics, servicing and genuine Avinox spare parts available through the Australind workshop.
