Our first budget bike review of the Polygon Siskiu T7. After researching I think I have found one of if not the best bang for your buck full suspension bikes available right now.

Polygon brand is making bikes for Marin and GT. Some says for Vitus as well. Here in Malaysia, when Polygon releases bikes, you will see new Marins at the same time at the same bike shop.

I've had mine for several months and really like it. I've upgraded nearly everything but I ride pretty hard, lots of downhill tech. I recommend these to everyone. Great value. Yes Marlin bikes are made by Polygon. Also, wheels and tires are heavy. Jack from Custom Wheel Builder made me some nice Stans Flow EX3 with dt hubs. Saved 3 pounds when paired with dhr 2.

Sounds like you got a great build. Stock this bike is really good for the $. I've upgraded a few parts as well and lost 3lbs which really helped on the climbs. Such a sleeper bike right now. Thanks for sharing

So good for the money, especially considering they're actually shipping bikes! We DID take our porkers to an XC race. It went about as well as you'd expect. I don't recommend it ha

That’s what I’m riding. I got mine last year at $1799. Been really enjoying it. I have been upgrading things as I go. Only real complaint as you mentioned is they are heavy. For the type of riding I do I don’t notice the weight on the trail. If you are a clock watcher you will notice the weight. For an affordable bike you have to sacrifice something tho

@StraightLine_MTB 2 жыл бұрын

I agree it's heavy but didn't feel too cumbersome on the climbs. For the price I don't think it's that big of a deal as it rides well

Bike will just need handlebars and front wheel put on. All tools necessary to get you going are included. If going tubeless I recommend checking the rim tape as mine wasn't installed very well. Would appreciate using the link in description of this video if you do decide to purchase.

@StraightLine_MTB 2 жыл бұрын

The Siskiu looks like a better build kit than the Vander. The Siskiu also looks to have a more polished presentation with the internal cable routing and paint schemes. Your budget will dictate for you but for a bike you want to grow with and possibly upgrade, the Vader is a non-boost frame which would limit wheel choices. Siskiu T7 would be a great bike to ride as is or replace parts as you go.

Need opinions - I'm looking at 2 used Poly's ....Medium D7 & Large T7.....I ride with my 8yr old son in NJ/PA. We hit trails, some rocks, roots, and looking to do some downhill this summer. The T7 is only $400 more....should I go for it? Would this bike be happy on easy (green) trails as well as intermediate (blue) trails? Will the T7 also be ok for tooling around the neighborhood when needed? Also - I'm 5'10" / 30" inseem - Poly says I should ride a large...do these bikes run big or small?

@StraightLine_MTB 2 жыл бұрын

If you are planning to do some downhill then the T7 would be the better choice. The D series is more XC and the T series trail category. The extra travel of the T7 will be more comfortable and I find it to climb well. At 5'11.5" on a large I think the fit is in line with other trail bikes. Feels more compact but comfortable so I would follow Polygon's recommendation. T7 is a fun bike and worthy of upgrades as you go.

Hey yo. I am 5'11.5" riding a large and feel it is playful and easy to maneuver. I definitely wouldn't want to size down to a Medium. Polygon has you on a Large at your height and think that might be a wise choice if your looking to get some comfort and relative stability for any chunky stuff. It is a great bike for the price. Don't forget to go though our link in the description if you do decide to buy.

@@StraightLine_MTB It can be difficult to get through to the right person who will listen. I think their all trained to sidestep the issues. They might say to take it to a qualified bike shop to just add more sealer. Anthony was who I was finally put in touch with and he is handling the replacement wheel. I have my fingers crossed for me and for anyone else who may have issues.

@@StraightLine_MTB I wonder why they did that on one of their more expensive bikes but upgraded the cheaper ones. I purchased one earlier today then realized after I made the payment it looked identical to the 2021. I'm disappointed if it's just the same bike from 2021. Means it's a whole year older and it's misleading to say it's a 2022

@StraightLine_MTB 2 жыл бұрын

@@Gurutattoowpb Some bike companies don't do model year changes. So it isn't necessarily odd that the same bike is offered for a couple years. Could also be do to the current climate of parts availability to not be able to do a refresh.

@@StraightLine_MTB polygon appears to be a company that does change every year. It just sucks to buy the same bike in 2022 as in 2021 for the same price when they discount the bike from the previous year. Not to mention going to resell the bike in the future, since the color scheme is exactly the same it's hard to tell what year it's from. I guess it could bring up the value of 2021's lol
