In recent days, COVID-19 has forced us to stay confined to our homes and many of us have been prevented from riding at all.
Unfortunately, our professional riders are subject to the same rules.

This weekend (28th & 29th March) the first round of the Enduro World Series in Manizales, Colombia was meant to be taking place.
Like many sporting events around the world, it's postponed. The second round in Chile the following week (4th & 5th April) suffered the same fate.

Obviously disappointed, members of the team managed by Cécile and Cédric Ravanel, wanted to show us the META AM 29 that they should have introduced this weekend.
After Yoann Barelli and his 'High Polish' frame, the COMMENCAL Enduro Team will ride a 'Sand' version featuring new typography which was inspired by our ABSOLUT and META TR SX designs.

We'll have to wait a little longer to see it in action!
