Polygon Syncline C5 Review | First Impressions

[@ecopennylife]

What do you think of the XC style Polygon Syncline C5 29" carbon hardtail ? Should I convert to tubeless tyres ?

[@jackmaetal]

I’m on tubeless for the first time… I wish I used tubeless a long time ago

Polygon rider here from the Philippines! I’m considering getting the Syncline as my race bike!

[@ecopennylife]

It's a really cool bike - I love it, more videos are in the pipeline for my Polygon Syncline C5 🤟

[@jackmaetal]

@@ecopennylife I’ll wait for those videos!

Good to see you really like your new bike

Seriously considering this bike, seems awesome. I think you got the medium size, how is the fit, how tall are you, and do feel comfortable in the cockpit, do you feel a little stretched over the front on very long rides? That's the thing to order online, you can't be sure of how it fits, thanks for your reviews.

[@ecopennylife]

Thanks for watching, I'm 172 cm high, 62kg, bike fits fine for me, check out Bicycles Online height recommendations on their website, if the fit is really bad there is an option to send back in Australia, email them if you have any concerns ☺️

@@ecopennylife Thanks for that, looks a good fit for you, and I'm aware of the sizing and 30 day guarantee, but the effective top tube is longer these days than old days which concerns me about modern bikes. You also have long limbs to body ratio, I'm the other way round lol. Love your bike rides, hope to see more 😄

When the time comes to upgrade my 2009 X-Cal ,which has had an epic run for me, this may be the frontrunner to be its successor. Kind of reminds me a little of the old Gary Fisher Superfly just much less expensive( in today’s money superfly was around 3k in 2009) for 1500-1700 this is almost too good to be true.

@@CDcooper3876 the Syncline is a great bike if you're more XC orientated like me (not so much for extreme downhill & jumps etc) 🚴
