![]() In my ten months or so with the bike, I never really used the ProPedal beyond level 1 because doing so made the suspension unresponsive to the point of losing climbing traction. Still, stock, the bike can feel a bit numb and lost mid-stroke and occasionally gets hung up on ledge-y bits. There’s little help in resisting the bike’s desire to get airborne off of every kicker or rail every corner. As the trail bike from a downhill-oriented company, the Meta 5.5 is a fun bike- which is the main reason that I bought it. Having verified the stock shock’s length, travel, and bushing width, replacing the Commencal’s stock RP23 with the O2 was a five minute job. The shock is offered in seven length/travel combinations (ours are 200/51mm) and with a standard (more progressive) or Additional Volume (more linear) air canister. Under that (Fox RP23 style) sits an indexed rebound damping adjuster. A multi-position lever provides easy access to four compression damping levels: from essentially open (which I’ll call 1) to nearly-locked (4). The $380 O2 RCX is X-Fusion’s most adjustable rear shock. Nonetheless, I’ve been spending time with both the high- and low-volume versions of X-Fusion’s O2 RCX on my Commencal Meta 5.5 Carbon- and it’s been an eye-opening experience. Sure there are the usual air pressure and damping adjustments, but given the high cost of custom tunes and replacement units it’s often easiest to find a bike that works well and stick with the suspension designers choices. Like most riders, I haven’t felt the need to monkey much with my rear shocks.
