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

[@JaredHoff]

Had a blast! You guys are building an epic MTB destination. Can’t wait to go back.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I wish my property was this nice, I have elevation but the rest is a swamp tbh, I'm jealous of that land 😂

[@bud1lite]

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

[@JaredHoff]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking time to leave the feedback I really appreciate it 👍

[@EastBayRich]

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

[@JaredHoff]

Thanks man! I need to go back and clear that jump. It’s haunting me. I know I can.

[@mickfromrocky]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

Thanks for taking time to give me the feedback. Truly appreciate that. I have a few upgrades for this bike coming soon.

[@jonathan.lastra]

Awesome video! Great quality stuff!

[@JaredHoff]

Thanks man! I really appreciate you taking time to give me feedback 👍

[@bellarogers7202]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

150 travel would help me not clap the fork again 😂 I might do that, but I’m trying to not go overboard on upgrades like I always seem to do 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@MrSparkyss]

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

[@JaredHoff]

I’ve looked at those. They seem like a great option.

[@ark530abe]

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

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely will do! That’s a place I’ve wanted to ride. Rode the lift bike park there once, but haven’t been back.

[@trailpimp6369]

Nice bike man

[@JaredHoff]

Thanks bro!

[@erikklumpp3464]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely 👍 I currently looking for a good budget wheelset because I think that’s the biggest fault. I’m also looking for some discounted tires. Want to try and do all the upgrades for less than $1,000 to keep it somewhat “budget”.

[@erikklumpp3464]

@@JaredHoff I think a video too user spacers and tokens would be dope, especially hitting that same drop. Great video to show what tokens do.

[@Tomnuttall990]

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 🤭🤫

[@JaredHoff]

I actually like the forest green color. It looks even better in direct sunlight. I’ll try to show the color better in my next video, but agree that the N9 has a better paint job

[@cegalleta]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

You have to checkout my latest video where I upgrade the wheels. Made the bike ride so much better.

[@cegalleta]

@@JaredHoff I will!

[@MTBr-of-SoCal]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely did. But the bike still handled it 👍

[@MilitaryVet]

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

[@beauharvey8138]

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

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely 👍 I’m going to try and stay budget in this bike. I’m thinking Hunt wheels and whatever tires I can find on sale.

[@ChelseaZhang-zz6ey]

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

[@JaredHoff]

I usually throw my bikes on a tailgate pad. Hit me up on my email and I’ll take a look. If I think your product is something my viewers would want to see, then we might be able to work something out.

@@LaurentiusTriarius Why would you ask if I am from Tianjin? Our company currently has subsidiaries in multiple countries, including the United States and Japan, but we do not have one established in Tianjin.

[@virginiascurti5036]

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

[@JaredHoff]

This bike comes in 27.5 in a size small, but you could always throw a 29” wheel up front later.

[@matthewserna7475]

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

[@JaredHoff]

I definitely need to get a new wheel set. I’m thinking Hunt wheels 🤔

[@johndef5075]

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.

[@JaredHoff]

I hear ya!

[@user-qo5nz3qb6j]

Nice bike but doesn't ship to the UK

[@JaredHoff]

So sorry about that

[@hambo76]

Just buy a Canyon Spectral and call it a day.

[@JaredHoff]

That’s a good bike as well

[@waynelenderman1115]

Just buy a Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy(160/150 six different geo settings)and call it a day.

[@Iggy52]

What you really need to do is start working on your manuals again ☝

[@JaredHoff]

100% that’s going to happen 👍

[@Iggy52]

​​@@JaredHoffYou could maybe do a miniseries about your manual progress. Drop maybe 1 or 2 videos per month. Just an idea.. I think people would enjoy it as most bikers have wet dreams about the manual 😊

[@dpatt3997]

Your foot is not 12” probably only like a 10-12 foot gap

[@JaredHoff]

This guy knows my shoe size 🤷🏼‍♂️
