This is the 1st bike I bought on my way back from a 15yr hiatus from Mtb. I changed brakes and tires and now the bike is faster then my YT Jeffsey and my Ibis Ripliy CF. I highly highly recommend, no need to spend $3-$4k more for other bikes.

Great review mate! Made me consider much fun you will have for $2k. Freedom, exercise, mates, challenges, fresh air, etc. Now imagine how much money people are spending on cars or 4x4 bits and bobs that they will either never use and certainly not get the same amount of enjoyment out of. No brainer.

100% definitely worth it! Once you starting riding you understand but to people who don't ride, 2k for a bike seems crazy!

Great review mate. There has been a few changes for the 2021 model, what's your opinion on the new specs?

It's great to see a better shock on there, really helps the rear end shine a bit more. The extra range on the drivetrain is a big plus too!

Weekend warrior here who does mostly XC and Trail, who's also getting his first full-suspension (or dual, as you guys call it ;) ) bike in almost 20 yrs. So I'd say this is a good fit, lol. I hate 29" wheels, so if I can work a medium frame, I'm set!

[@tommytfaa]

Very curious what you think about the price jump on 2021 D7. I really liked that 2020 price point.

[@madcapper6]

Awesome bike and specs but one thing I don't understand is no boost in the front. Polygon does boost front and back on their Xtrada hardtails and here you have a full squish, kinda like the full suspension version of the Xtrada 8, and no boost in the front. You'd think boost would be a more critical feature on the FS bikes over the hardtails.

Hey mate, love this review. I’m very tempted by the D7 but do you think it’s worth spending a bit extra and going for the T7?

[@trailtalkmtb6603]

Slightly different bikes, really depends if you need the extra travel. I liked how agile and snappy the D7 felt on the flowy stuff. If you are hitting technical sections at a bit more speed, then the T7 would be better, but for XC and Trail the D7 is more well rounded.

How much is the weight?

[@christopaul5405]

I’m 178cm. Would frame size M and 29” wheels be alright for me as I bought that Or should I have bought the L frame? AnywAys amazing content!!!!

You are in between sizes, so cant go wrong, the medium will be a bit more fun on the trails. Thanks!

Compare it to the giant stance 1 2020

Not a big fan of the stance, the other bikes are a fair bit better and have through axles, while the stance still uses a QR.
