@Polygonbikesmedia has established themselves firmly as a brand who excels in terms of value proposition, with a range of reasonably priced mountain bikes that are still down to be ridden hard. With the Siskiu T9 though, the spec list reads a little different to usual, with high-spec components throughout that may have you expecting a high price tag to accompany. At under $3,000 though, the Siskiu T9 will avoid sticker shock for most riders, and the performance it delivers as a result of its high-quality spec is quite impressive. Read on to learn all about it.

My next bike will probably be a colossus, I spent two hours on one I'm sold, now I just have to break a bike to justify it 😂

Man that's awesome value. I hope they sell a tonne of them and force other brands to reevaluate there prices. I'd definitely buy one if I was in market for trail bike

For sure, really good spec for the money and the performance is levelled up as a result!

I have a t8. Quickly snapped the chainstay in 2 places. Took 3+ months to get the warranty part. Within 2 weeks I Snapped the top tube. Another 4 months later, I got the replacement front triangle. Exploded the stock wheel in the first month aswell. Had to buy another bike just to keep riding. Should have just bought the ripmo to begin with with.

Loving my T9. I agree the back tire needs to be changed out. Probably the wheels as well to save some weight where it counts most.

It’s a little heavy, but wouldn’t take much to shave a couple pounds if needed. It doesn’t ride like a 36lb enduro bike regardless!

It's definitely a porker 😂 my large trance x29 2023 with 135mm travel was about the same out of the box, now it's 29 to 32 pounds depending on wheels/tires and if I have the DVO coil on or the stock DPS...

I personally think the Polygon Colossus N9 is much more better at this price range. Sometimes the N9 can be cheaper too

@TheLoamWolf Ай бұрын

We don’t disagree. It’s a way more capable enduro/DH focused bike, but this thing outpedals it for sure.

Polygon a bike company that gets the average consumer. Unlike the rest that are struggling because they push overpriced builds. Looks like Kona might be done.

@TheLoamWolf 3 ай бұрын

We love to see brands pushing the performance envelope at more achievable price points, and Polygon is certainly doing that. Looking like there's still hope for Kona. We're crossing our fingers!

You seem to get a whole lot for your money. I just purchased a Transition Smuggler frame with shock that was a few hundred more than this entire bike. Makes me question my purchasing decisions. 🤔

I bought a polygon T8 in 2022. Within 6 months, I snapped the chainstay in two places simultaneously, under normal tral conditions. After 3.5 months I received my warranty part. A couple weeks after building it back up, the top tube snapped right by the seat tube junction. After 4 months, I received my replacement front triangle. Very budget frame

I broke my T8 frame twice, in 3 places, in one year. Under normal trail riding circumstances. It took over 7 months to get the frame warranty parts to get back on that bike.
