I've had mine for a few years now. It's a great bike right out of the box. The Fox fork and shock come alive with the addition of a couple of tokens up front and a new rear token. I added 3 to my fork and changed the shock to the Red token. Rides completely different. Wolf Tooth makes a nice remote dropper actuator in purple. It looks sweet on the bike. Very nice and thorough video.

I have a large t8 and its 32.2lbs. I enjoy the journey of upgrading

Love your break down and comparisons between the models. Very comprehensive, thanks and keep up the good work.

I really like that you go over literally everything on this bike I just got one and the information you provided is key thanks to you

Had my T8 just over two years. Was a great starter bike and the frame geo and standard spec is really really good for the price. Since then I’ve upgraded/replaced everything expect dropper. It now has Fox Factory 36 160mm, Factory X2 shock, full XT group set, OneUp stem, Deity bars, Reserve wheels, hydra i9 hub. WTB seat. This bike came alive with the suspension upgrades. One thing with it is the frames bearings are fairly exposed and if you ride a bunch expect to replace them at least a year in. Also for the Shimano hubs. I had to replace every bearing on the bike. I’m about to move on now from this bike as I need a slightly larger wheel base and a bit longer travel in the rear. Plus carbon and storage.

I used to spend quite a lot of money on bikes and parts over the years and basically came to a hard realization and question, why? Since then I have sold my Enduro and DH bike along with parts and have opted for the T8 and the N9 Colossus. Both bikes were purchased for the sale price of my DH bike alone. Now I have more money in my bank, learnt to let go of being a brand snob and just enjoy having fun!

I had a T8. It's the best of Polygon's T (Trail) bikes. It's also the best bang for the buck of all trail bikes. But I needed to move to a 170mm enduro bike because the T8 was too hard on my arms and legs when landing bigger drops and going on rougher terrain.

Hi Mike The Siskiu T9 is coming you should check that out its awesome

I have a Sunshine branded 12 speed cassette that is hg compatible and shifts really well.

does the t8 have sliding bushings in the suspension? or just bearings?

As a new rider, DSE FS (now stolen) was my first decent bike and had the dropper post lever - absolutely hated it. Never tried any other lever or to adjust it.

Is the Polygon Siskiu T8 a better value at $2K vs a Trek Fuel EX 7 Gen 5 for $2500 (new leftover)?

Great video. They seem like a great value, in fact I just bought their adventure / gravel bike the Bend model. But in regards to the MTBs…not having a UDH frame is kind of a deal breaker for me. It’s not “future proof” without it. I’ve also noticed odd looking cable/hose routing around the bottom bracket area. No one really shows this in reviews, however it looks kind of janky / awkward routing. Looks not routed very well out of the down tube over the BB and into the chain stays. It looks very exposed etc. Can you or anyone here speak to this?

Love my T7. Purchased it used and was able to drop the weight of my size L to 28.5lbs.

I'm close the buying the Polygon Siskiu T8 29er in XL.Ive Mtbkd for>20 years and marathons, XC andntrail riding is all my thing. Mainly red trails, but do blacks, just don't chuck over jumps /drops. My question is, as a light rider, will I be able to get the suspension dialled in for my style if riding or should I go with the D series? I have a lower back disc issue and have torn my right shoulder rotator cuff, so have to go full suss again having had just a hardtail in recent years. Thanks

Gt sensor comp sells for 1800 on Jenson USA prolly the only other bike that will compete with it in that price range.

Nice bike but like you said heavy bike! My friend has one, I told him to start by going tubeless.

I guess they raised there priced just in time for spring, cause now the "sale" price is $2200

I really don't care for bearings in dropper post levers, I bought a used bike with the last gen super expensive pnw lever, it was the first thing to get sold on fb marketplace... My favorite one is the Giant that came with my trance x29, simple, doesn't eat cable, 32 grams... I sanded down the bumps on the face of the lever to put a piece of grip tape, perfection. Also free 😂

Use a garbaruk cassette, it's more expensive but it is pretty good. The progression makes more sense than Shimano's

This helps alot knowing they do not use a udh or microspline hub. Everything else is so good but this really holds me back from purchasing it.

Do you think that the T8 could handle a place like Howler?

Hi is the t8 2024 gold colour out yet?

The sunrace cassette is new. Mine has microspline and slx cassette.

Now you have to get the T9

Appreciate you creating budget-friendly content for this hobby 🫡

Isn't the t9 the top of the siskiu line

My real nice shed cost 2000 dollars.
