Very good bike review and Everstoke review. I had a great time showing you around. This is a great video .

[bellarogers]

Great video Jared! I agree with you on bars, stem, grips and pedals by T1 and call it a day. Only thing I would do later on is upgrade the travel to 150mm and that’s no biggie.

Been waiting for another good review of this model, thank you, great video

[EastBayRich]

Awesome bike review + Everstoke? Great combo and a great vid! That last drop and aSingleTrackMind's wood double are huge!

Excellent review that reeks of honesty . I’m a huge believer in short travel trail bikes . I have a short travel ebike and while it was a gamble it paid off. The connection with the trail is nicer than bigger travel and they are so much fun and very capable . Back to the bike you reviewed…. That drop was huge at the start but despite bottoming out it handled it but I do agree with the tire conversation . As for the other components I think this company gets it right bars and stem wise but the wheelset could still survive a few years for a less demanding rider ( man you do punish bikes 🤣) but for someone as aggressive as you they need replacing.
Really good review as usual mate and it’s great seeing someone talking about and riding the more affordable brands.

Honestly I agree with the upgrades, the wheels are the only thing holding that bike back.

- The brakes are probably some of the best in the market.
- The transmission is the gold standard for best value.
- Geometry and frame quality is top notch.
- The tires aren't bad actually, the problem is that they're a bit too much for the bike and the casing isn't the most supportive one, but other than being heavy they will perform just fine.
- I don't know about the dropper but just replace it when it breaks imo
- Cassette is also heavy, but as with the dropper, just replace it when it breaks

A lot of Polygon bikes use Novatec hubs, that are actually pretty high quality, you could just buy a pair of new rims and save money instead of buying a brand new wheelset.

Dang!! That was a freakin' hard landing off that highest ladder drop! Seriously slammed the fork & rear to it's fullest limits with a loud cracking sound.

I think you should do a follow up, what would it look like to ride this bike adjusting for—big drops and technical terrain. The suspension is more than capable and you can make it a better bike. I think polygon is phenomenal value for money and as a platform you can build a killer bike.

i grabbed on sale, hunt trail wide wheels on my t7 and thinner 2.4 tire (tubless) and it made a world of difference

[arkabe]

Good vid and sick bike. Stop by Mount Shasta and check out some of the new trails out there. Only a couple hours from Klamath Falls

[joshfetil]

Now I', thinking if I should buy the polygon t9 or the polygon colossus n7 both are good can you give me you thoughts sir?

[MilitaryVet]

It’s always hard to size up a jump and just send it without anyone to tow you in.

[MODIFIEDMTB]

Great bike, lack lustre colour considering the T8 colour way although we cheaped out on the gold one too. Top of the line T really should be on par with how great the N9 looks... Unless the rumours about a T10 are true 🤭🤫

[SteveSolaka]

Lol j was expecting to see: you didn’t do the 6 feet jump, seemed as a bad idea not enough suspension travel, would be a painful landing

[beauharvey]

it is a killer spec bike but you surely have to get a lighter garburuk cassette with that wheelset again like your n9

[highentropy]

Why isn't this bike available on the official Polygon website?

[virginiascurti]

The only reason have not got one is I can't get a Small with 29" wheels.

[ChelseaZhang-zzey]

Do you need bike rack to restore your bikes? our company have it, are you willing to try iy?

[johndef]

Dropoffs kinda just suck. Basically falling and slamming into the ground. Probably stresses your frame more than anything too. I enjoy just about anything else though.

[matthewserna]

Hard to fault you for that jump with 15lbs of wheels below you😂
