Really liking the addition of the scenic shots with the music. Adds a cool, dramatic feel to the video.

Bars are usually measured without grips so that’s why they measured a bit longer than advertised. Grips add 10mm or so to total bar width

Its good to see you back on the full suspension! Also the new edits and music are super cool! I recently got to try LMNT and it was good! Way better than Liquid IV!

I like this new style of videos evan. It feels more entertaining to watch

I subscribed to this channel back when it hit 10K subs. It’s nice to see a big loop back to the old times and let’s be honest it brings back memories:)

Thank you for this! Brilliant work. 🤜🤛

My sweat is pretty salty but not as salty as the sponsor, seriously it's good stuff. The editing was pretty sweet, this channel is rapidly becoming my favorite, relatable but not boring 🤘

Been pumped to see this one! Let’s go!

Man, the whole video and the riding was so smooth. It felt really smooth

The effort your putting in is maad! Love it, as long as you are too🤘

Hey Evan, you should give us a video of all of your bikes you have collected over the years.

My wife will be happy to see this. She loves her Siskiu D7.

Great video Evan! The editing on this one is *chefs kiss* 🔥

nice editing of the video, I can see your great effort and professionalism :)

The new Fly Racing gear you're wearing looks much nicer than the motocross outfits you've had on in the past! Great editing on this one too!

These are just my favorite videos that you make!!! ❤❤😊

Ordered a Medium based on your review and other videos about the D7. Thanks!

Thank you for the video Evan 👍

Thank you for doing the sensible thing of swapping your bars. It really annoys me when I watch a KZfaqr instantly chop 40mm off a test bike’s bars instead of using the favourite they own. I hope you enjoy the bike… at least until you decide you need another hardtail. I’d recommend the Pipedream Sirius and Canfield Nimble 9, oh, and you should search everywhere for a second hand BTR Ranger. 👍🏻

I do love making changes to my rides! That price sounds great too!

Killed it on the editing

It feels like im watching a small movie / docu! Super awesome🎉

best edited video yet well done 👍

Evan, ....to lower that seat post as much as possible, I suggest you install a OneUp V2 dropper post. You may even want to go longer travel as it is adjustable, so you may lower travel depending upon how high you feel the stock post is. It has a much more narrow seat tube collar so the post will drop lower when the saddle is slammed to the seat tube. It has a lower profile saddle clamp which practically allows the saddle to drop to the rails. It makes a big difference in the feel of that saddle being out of the way when it's all fully slammed.

I have this bike and I love it. Agree with you on the cranks and dropper post being too long and may be the first things you will need to upgrade though. Check your rear hub though as this may need to be replaced before anything else. If it’s generic with no branding, save yourself some heartache and pull it off straight away to put something decent on its place as the generic hubs that Polygon have put on the SE are known to fail on a very regular basis. Mine completely failed within 100km. I put a Nukeproof Horizon v2 on the back - zero regrets.

I thought I see your Commencal again... But then I rmb it was MY favourite bike on your channel! 🤣 Btw my wife "thanks" you that I want a Bird Zero now... before your video I didn't know I "needed" one. 😅 Keep up the good work! 🤟

You should ride and review a specialized stumpjumper. I have a 22 stumpy pro and I love it.

That was awesome 🎉

Wow am liking the colors of the D7 did had an idea that Evan loves Polygon, just as much I love Marin, and for $1300 that is a good deal right there. If given the opportunity to ride full suspension I will love to try it out.

Bar plugs and clamp on grips can add that much width easy.

I think his edits have gotten better and more polished

Greatest KZfaq video ever

I have the Devinci Kobain and it is a great trail bike and it is very aggressive

Keep it up!!

Evan, Im pretty excited for the Siskiu D to see where you go with it. I bought a D6 and pulled off everything and put it on my Trek Marlin (minus rear hub ) and sold that to a guy getting his first real MTB. I pulled most off my stuff off my custom Ragley Big Al and install them on my D6 and after a couple of rides and I was feeling like the T7 was more my style. So now I have a 2023 T7, which I pulled ALL the parts off (Including the 140mm Rockshox Recon) and put them on the D6 to sell, and all my Ragley parts are now on the T7 minus a couple of things.I haven't sold the D6 YET, but now excited to see if you change my mind :) Love your series, I remember when you did the High Low series with the D5 you said you liked it better than the Yeti, but you kept the Yeti. Ready for the next adventure :)

I'm still riding a 2020 d7 it's my absolute favorite.

I picked up a DSE a little while back. It has been a seriously awesome bike for me so far. The only upgrade ive had to do with it is a new wheelset since i blew out the rear hub after about 30 miles. I went with the Hunt Trailwides and couldnt be happier. The engagement is way better than the stock wheels.

Just opened KZfaq and just commented this I like the bike too ngl even my old bike is running smooth

Awesome bike

Glad you're finally reviewing this! Shame it comes right as the bike seems to have permanently gone out of stock in the UK (the cheapest I ever saw it was £849. absolutely insane price). Also, did I miss how much it weighs in the video? Curious how this thing would climb

I really like this style of video, you should do it more!!

Great value bike.

Just got my new bike too 2020 Santa Cruz chameleon D build 😍😍

Do the Siskiu T7! It's a little more but well be suited for some upgrades with the geometry.

these polygon bikes are pretty dope and have good parts and for a good price. might buy one soon but they are hard to find at any bike shop. Around here

i got a d6 back during the holiday if changed everythiing so far. frame has nice geo

I've bought the exact same bike, thinking of fitting a Reba or Revelation fork. Keeping standard brakes but fitting 203 disc F/wheel and putting 180 on rear

I see the Matty Active plug in the background haha.

Reminds me of spindatt videos. From when evan would do the end of video "threats" to now with the edits

I have the same bike! I have had some highend bikes sworks evils santacruz ect. My polygon siskiu d7 is my favourite bike. Every time i ride it, it just gets better. I have but DVO Sapphire fork and topaz on it and ride way above its 120mm says. I also but some galfer pads and rotors on it and oneup bars and rev grips. I cannot fault that bike.

I got the Bossnut which I think is the same bike for £500! Put a pike on it and some carbon wheels too

very nice bike,, to my birthday I wish my dream dream bike

Hey Evan, I purchased the DSE after watching your initial D7 videos. As a first bike it was perfect to learn on and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s my upgrade list. Fox 34 130mm Tubeless Magura trail brakes Bars, pedals, grips. I think it could still use a better riser button and like you said shorter cranks. What length do you have in mind?

I read your review of the d7 on sagamtb. A piece that stood out to me was that you said you thought it was unlikely that it could be upgraded to be sub 30lbs. Well I've got a medium d7 (xc build) and it's currently weighing in at 27.8lbs. Not only is it possible but not even that difficult. With an unlimited budget I could probably get into the 25lbs range.

Fair weather rider 😂

Great videos on the d7 and d7SE... Do you think buying the SE is worth it to have the boost front fork setup - even though I may not upgrade forks for a while. Is the Suntour fork on the SE worse? But for future proofing if something breaks, then I eventually will. Or is the regular d7 better with the rockshox fork and just now worry about it?

I noticed that the seat post on my Siskiu is pretty tall also by about 10 or 15mm. I wish there was a way to shorten the dropper that comes with the bike but I don’t think there is.

Did you find the air valve cap for the fork after the test run? I was so fixated on that I had to rewind to watch what you were riding :)

i also had a D7 and loved it...but got a D7SE expecting the same bike. The D7SE was shipped to me from Bikesonline with a different rear hub than the D7...a generic hub with far fewer points of engagement. Bikesonline did not disclose this in it's advertising and blamed it on Polygon changing components indiscriminately. The reason the D7SE is much less expensive than the D7 is because it has cheaper components, and many people who have purchased the D7SE have had problems with them such as the rear hub failing, and other wheelset issues.

I own this exact bike too, I went for a medium which I found to be a perfect fit for me (175cm) been riding it for a few months and have done a handful of upgrades. Nukeproof horizon v2 rims front and rear, this was a much needed upgrade as the stock rear hub was low engagement and they were overly heavy (spoke holes on the front rim kept leaking too) Stock tyres it came fitted with were Maxxis recons, too slippy for UK trails so swapped out for Scwalbe magic mary 2.4 front, hans dampf 2.35 rear both in super trail casing. Went tubless with Peatys valves and holeshot. Grips swapped for Ergon GA3, Saddle Ergon sport, peddles Nukeproof horizon sam hills, Stem nukeproof horizon in copper. Upgraded the front and rear discs to both 180mm, stock rear is 160mm also the stock discs were utter trash made from stampted steel. So far i'm absolutely loving the bike it rides so smooth and so far the front Suntour raidon fork is performing just fine, though this will likely be my next upgrade. I got the bike new for a great deal too at £900 thanks to new customer codes and seasonal offers, RRP was £1400. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with this bike Evan!

You should try the Devinci Kobain

I’m really leaning towards this bike for next season. Been riding 3 bike park seasons on a 2003 Giant NRS-1. Heavily modernized/upgraded but at the end of the day, it’s a short travel “ancient” XC bike and my body needs a break from all the chatter 😂 I don’t think I need a long travel bike considering how far I’ve gotten with 80-100mm of travel

What are your favorite full suspension for flat land? I live in Houston area, no hills. Want full suspension, but always worry about pedal bob.

where do you get those o rings you used to set the suspension?

Why dont you try the siskiu T8?

I noticed you had specialized ground control tires, what do you think about them?

take the grips off... then measure the bar width. the grips will add extra width. The bar probably was 780 and came to 795 with grips on. I think you would like the size M more. Bike looks too big for you in my opinion

FYI, competitive cyclist has a medium chameleon frame for sale. In stock.

5 minutes before you started talking about the bike in the title. Insane.

It’s cross country so I don’t really want to buy it but it looks quality!

How tall are you and wingspan? Thinking of order in a medium but I'm 5'8 with long legs and arms

This bike is sick but yo should try out a carbon bike

Wait does the bike come with pedals? Or do I have to buy some? (Please answer soon)

please do t8 please

I mostly ride on blue with some technical climbing. Would you suggest a D7 or a t7?

and also big fan

polygon d seriesss lets gooooooooo

Hi. How high you are and what size of the bike you got? Greetings

What's your height? Trying to decide between medium and large. I am almost 5'9 w/o shoes.

What helmet do you use?

how do i start a mountain bike youtube channel like your

So now you can sell me that RSD frame

currently $1,199

Hola everybody

Can I have one of your mtbs you don’t use, I really like mtbing but I don’t have the best bike( it keeps breaking and is NOT meant for it) so I would appreciate if I could get one :). Thanks also keep up the vids I love em

7 minutes in, we finally get to the point of this video.. JFC

The editing has gotten worse man wft

Skip to the last few mins for what he thinks.

Dude it took 7 minutes to get to the point of the video? 😝 I was sitting there like 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ so many side quests and then barely two minutes of the actual topic 🤔 Not trying to be rude just didn't get the point of the layout of this video 🫠

first

Well your not a proper real mountain bike then if you don’t ride muddy wet trails

At this point you are just wasting money and showing off.

He said, "this is going to be my first time all over again. Let's see how it feels." Then says, "Feels kinda, feels squishy."
