New Electric Bike! 2021 Polygon Mt. Bromo N8 [Mountain Bike Review]

They should totally make a leaf colour way for sure, would be pretty sick I reckon. 😂

[@BackyardTrailBuilds]

That's all I was thinking after I did this. I just want someone to custom paint this on to one of my normal bikes.

[@ARandomBoat]

​@@BackyardTrailBuilds Go for it, If you could get a custom paint job like that, I reckon it would make a great video, and you'd end up with an awesome looking bike.

Depending on his budget tell him to get the specialised sl comp carbon but get the on that’s like 100% boost. The reason is cause it’s like 17kg

[@siriosstar4789]

@@bigmantomatohead3348 that's a terrible choice for a first timer . Weight is a secondary issue if the motor can produce at least 75 Nms of torque , so it makes the carbon frame pointless . aside from that specialized gets their motors from brose which have turned out to be a disaster . He should go for an aluminum frame with a bosch , shimano or yamaha motor , shimano or magura four piston brakes and mid level shimano components . this would only cost around 3 to 4 thousand NOT $.7000

[@Hondeer]

I raced for Devinci years back, still have the Spartan and Wilson. Grabbed a T8 for a cheap bike to thrash... I am so blown away with it so, did a custom build on it and it RAILS. Was going to get a YT Decoy next year to triple my elevation but Polygon sent me info on this bike as well and like you, Bam, Ordered! Local group here is stoked on the T8 and are excited to get tows with the Bromo when it arrives.

[@kalebmathieu1730]

Dude that looks good I bought the polygon trid as because of you so keep it up man

[@sirridesalot4634]

Deffintally one of the coolest e buries I've ever seen. Love your vids bro! Good to See u lossen up on your bike, KEEP SHREDDING

[@Ex4_]

I have an E-MTB as well, and I have to agree - it feels so good on trails. The heavy weight helps in the air during jumps aswell as on the trails. It gives you so much more control, by hardly feeling "too heavy" for quick maneuvers.

[@boiing9274]

Dude how do you have the patience to put all those leaves?! I procrastinate to just lube me chain!! Great work, man! Keep it up!

[@burddog0792]

He said he took four hours to chisel the holes in the concrete bridge. Those leaves are child's play for him. 😂

Great vid, and also great bit of kit that bike, I confess I was originally sceptical about the whole ebike thing, but since testing a friends out, it’s a no brainer. Work smarter not harder! Keep the vids coming🤘🏼

Bro, I can’t believe they sent you a 6000 dollar bike, shout out to polygon for making millions from bikes online when every other mountain bike was out of stock.

[@johnsmith4089]

Why do u think that is

[@johnsmith4089]

Trek, Santa Cruz Scott and many more have made 10x that money they made

[@stjumps8104]

this bike reminds me of the YT decoy , i love how good value the polygons are

[@Bri-tg6xr]

What's the diff between an ebike and a electric motorcycle? How good is pedal assist anyways?

[@melwalshmtb9121]

Right after I watched Vitals review this video released. That 6 bar linkage is crazy! Should be fun to service..... One of the nicer and more reasonably priced E-Bikes I've seen though

[@IAm2Beast4This]

A key is nice so people can't steal the battery. Im also not sure about the battery being on the bottom of the down tube as it might fall off if not perfect secured.

[@Elliotdumas93]

Just got my new first ebike yesterday and its awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@grantmurphy2186]

Amazing bike! Also, I didn't know you are in the St. Louis area! Just purchased my Polygon T8 today so maybe I'll see you out at the park in the summer!

[@joshuahuang07]

they picked the perfect specs for this one. new shimano drivetrain shifts well under load and the m8120 levers feel awesome

[@jjr1314]

New Bike Day! I think Dave might have had something to do with this EBike trend. Sure would make Coolio’s Climb a bit easier!

[@boiing9274]

my friend has a turbo Levo SL, and he cannot get it airborne, however hard he tries, and as far as I can see, he's got all the right technique.. how do you do this my man?! You are a wizard! Keep it up!

[@icewallowcum856]

pretty sure the technique is not right, try some small steep lips maybe or bunnyhoping off of stuff can help

[@garbydahamster]

Never have any experience with turbo levo, but most of the ebike that i ever tried like Giant and Merida had the same issue, but polygon is the most playful ebike that i ever tried so far.

[@lukjad007]

The feature of the easy battery removal might be a con for commuting since that means you need to carry it with you inside the shop.

[@hussainbellal]

Not sure if you knew, but the song you chose is Afghan. Haha. Thought I left my music playlist playing in the background, had to pause your video to check.

[@TheBramanteChronicles]

What saddle do you like? I have the T8 and would love to upgrade.

[@fairuzarkan6908]

Yess, that's why i love my local bike company, they name it Mt.Bromo because they test it there

[@jedidiahwest4619]

Congratulations, you and Pink Bike are on the same release😮 💯 🔥

[@BikeLifewithRob]

I think ebike is good for spending the day at jump and flow trails for the climbs back up.

[@shredditsbiking]

In my opinion this is the coolest ebike I've ever seen

[@kinza999]

Just wait until you try some uphill flow trails. You might have to build them in the states but they are here in the UK

[@dansacco1964]

Bike is cool but I'm way excited to see both of those parks and the suspension shop. I'm not too far from there. Glad to see Ebikes earning some respect and trail rights.

[@siriosstar4789]

There are so many e mtb bikes on the market of the same caliber right now that it's almost impossible to choose . Hopefully my new bike that i've been waiting 6 months ( a relatively short time compared to other bikes ) for comes next month

[@bd-ds2fb]

I’m not a big fan of e-bikes, but this one is pretty cool.

[@sallyodgers99]

Can you get your sponsor to ship more of their bikes to australia? I would love to get my hands on one of these one day.

[@derekleswing795]

You have a really cool style with putting leaves on everything and I don't understand it but I am aware that it looks siiiiiiicccck

Hey seth, when you upload videos with POV clips you have to render in 4k. If you dont do this the resolution from the clips wont be as good. YT compresses 1080p Videos pretty bad...

[@gregorz46]

Does this count as using a power tool on your trails?

[@ZackSavir]

Never thought you’d get one, but that’s AWESOME!!!!

[@superyamagucci]

Cleaning a bike that's hard to clean: 1. Clean it really REALLY well. Take a few bits off/apart if you need to. 2. Polish it up with a ceramic paint coating. (I'm using Mothers CMX) 3. Repeat. 4. Go get it as filthy if you want. 5. Hose it off with your garden hose. 6. Wipe off the drips with a clean cloth. 7. Looks like new. Lasts... well I'm not sure. I'm weeks into it, and it still works like I've just done it. From what I can gather from online reading, you're looking at a year or more.

[@zaccreativeplayz]

Proud of you man keep doing what you're doing

[@Toyota_Echo]

I feel like the fact that the battery isn't locked by a key is an issue. Keys prevent theft and batteries are huge targets

[@RiDankulous]

Ebikes can have a nice benefit to people who bike exercise and use to get around town and such: backup power to assist for longer distances. An ebike is a bit heavier. It takes longer to get from A to B, but I considered that a plus, it gives me more of a workout. The ebike can help get up hills that are real tough. This is of great benefit to someone in many areas of Kentucky, for example. Also, if someone runs out of body energy to exercise prematurely, the throttle is always there to save the say =D. So helping with the hills make biking realistic for people who previously it would take too much effort.

[@JoshuaDomoslai]

There’s no throttle. It’s always constantly assisting your pedaling

[@zenopf]

Dam well done!!! Really good video, really good to watch, informative, better then much bikes specialists I've seen! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@BackyardTrailBuilds]

Wow, thanks man!

Very cool bike for sure... To your point about all the pivots. My twins each got a Polygon (T7 and T8) this year for racing NICA, and I was looking at taking apart, cleaning, lubing, etc all the pivots over the winter and damn there are a lot of them. Any chance you will do a video on the disassembly, cleaning, and lubing of one of yours?

Cant somebody just steal the battery? Besides that, it looks pretty sick!

[@ronin550]

EEebs are life, cant wait till I get my Rail 9.8

[@Don-Michael]

Seth, weighing the battery just made me super curious.... Couldn't you theoretically ride an E-Bike without the battery as a normal trail bike? I wonder if a company has thought of a way for a bike to be ridden with/without it's battery, essentially giving you 2 bikes????

[@itshofftime]

This does exist for some bikes already. However, some frames have been designed with the battery as a structural member - meaning they must have the battery installed.

[@onlycasual1]

I found it a bit strange how you didn't mention the main point of an e-bike ie the riding experience with the battery assistance

[@FiretrailMtbAdeventures]

Love polygons bikes possibly co side ring one for my next rig 💪👌

[@j-swizzle1922]

What’s the point of it being an Ebike though? What would you use it for?

[@Driver8takeabreak]

I am surprised you didn't report on climbing with the bike, as I imagine that is one of the biggest advantages of the bike compared to a non-e bike.

[@dustin5941]

You need to check out Two Rivers Mountain Bike Park right outside of Springfield,MO. It’s crazy!!

[@bikeninja956]

so is the "Mt Bromo" named after Mont. Bromont Quebec?

[@CJ-xe7nv]

Mt. Bromo is one of the most famoust volcanic mountain in Indonesia. Polygon tested it there that's why they name it as Polygon Mt. Bromo.

[@johnkuiper7960]

If your ever in the Springfield area again. Would love to see you check out Lone Pine Bike Park.

[@mikewelpott8743]

I cannot help but wonder about the N7 version. I have a Polygon HT (Xtrada 7) and love the bike but HATE the Suntour XCR 32 Air fork. It is SOO bad, that I am wondering if Suntour can make a decent fork even on their higher end bikes? My kids have Manitou forks that are about the same price point, but they are butter compared. I would very much like to see a review of the N7...

[@KlintonSilvey]

Dave is a wild man. Y'all have no idea

[@isaiassv]

Amazing! I loved that bike!

[@basstest5051]

Could you ride the bike without the battery or doesnt it work?

[@CampWeed]

I never understood why people get so hung up on the extra weight of an ebike as if it's a bad thing. A 150lb rider on an ebike is no different than a 170lb rider on an old fashioned analog bicycle as far as component- and trail-wear goes, and the extra mass gives a smoother ride over bumps and through corners. The only time extra weight will hurt is going uphill, and that's what the motor's for.

[@OverMotoren]

At around the 1 minute mark you say you will share how this changed your view on E-bikes, but you don't seem to get back on that.

[@wolf359loki]

Would it not be a good bike with out the E Part? I FULLY understand the use of a E-Bike in the city, doing casual riding and some trips. I am not convinced that there is a need for a E-Mountain Bike. If you put that shock and equipment on the same size bike and ride them head to head would there be an advantage.

[@dingdomz2188]

Wow beautiful ebike.

[@Adityas92]

Yes

[@jackpiki]

5,999$ is definitely *not* a budget price for an ebike, but we can all agree that with brands pushing the 10,000$ line it is a pretty good deal. If you're new to ebikes don't spend amounts uowards of 3000$, there are lots of option that can get you a sick bike and let you get a feel for the thing, without breaking the bank or having to sell them again after a month
