I think the slow shifting is due to the cassette not being hyperglide, so it doesn't have the specific ramps of the genuine shimano hyperglide cassettes. Probably bc cost cutting. Nice ride though. Polygons are great but they are always out of stock where I live.
@DaleStone3 ай бұрын
Helicopters are definitely best at the start of the ride rather than the end eh? 🙂 Looks like an epic trail and even better weather too, good stuff!
@JordanBoostmaster3 ай бұрын

@growlith69693 ай бұрын
Did a little looking and some maths and rounding and it looks like you can have 5 people in a group and if the ride is averaging 2000 Canadian then it's about 300 US per person. Just in case anyone wanted to know. That's good money for a good memory.

I'm a Trek guy and my wife recently started riding MTB with me. She likes XC and flow trails so I was gonna get her a Trek Top Fuel but she refused to let me spend that much so after a bunch of research I got her a Polygon Siskiu D7 for $1199. That bike does everything she needs it to do with the only changes being touch points and a shorter dropper. i would recommend a Polygon to anyone looking for a really functional entry level bike.
@josephcombs33243 ай бұрын
Bought the D7 for my son 4 years ago when he was 13, he's been riding and racing moto since he was 4. He has beaten the tar out of that thing ever since and have only changed to Magura 4 piston brakes and replaced worn out drive train components. It has held up to Mt Bachelor, the Lair in Bend, Or., and countless jump line runs around southern Oregon. Last fall I bought the Polygon N8E for myself and earlier this year i got the N7 as well. Needless to say we are sold on Polygon.

@@josephcombs3324I just commented that it’s not a budget bike. It’s a bike with budget components. I have beat the fuck out of a D7. Cracked the frame. Got a remedy 8 for 1k to get me by. Got a new frame for the D7. And I’ve been riding it again with upgraded components. Obviously the d7 pedals better uphill but both feel the same going down hill. Marketing is such bullshit

Me on my $800 mtb with coil forks 💀 In reality, it's a really good bike from decathlon with lower end components, making it easier for a student like myself to get into mountain biking. Yeah, it's an SR Suntour front coil fork, and some unnamed rear coil. It's all round pretty good, tektro hydro brakes and a microshift 9 speed make this bike really good. For now, I've put some continental tires on it and my next upgrade will hopefully be a dropper. After that, I'll hang onto the bike and put some air suspension on it :)

@craigellis6803 ай бұрын
Great looking bike. My prediction based on experience is that you will love the bike and other than a few personalised changes you'll keep it as is. The lower end suspension in my opinion is fine as when you get the higher end stuff it takes longer to get set up because of all the twerking options. Once set up though does anyone really make changes? That's why I think it's fine. A zeb is a zeb.

It's fast and it corners like it's on a rails, but it's a handful on tech and tight sections. Maybe there's merit to riding all three wheel sizes and picking and choosing depending on the trail?
