The 2024 Polygon Collosus N7 - Dissected Series

Рет қаралды 11,212

Күн бұрын

Typically, when we get new bikes for our Dissected series, the price tags are high enough to make even us bike industry veterans squirm. In recent months, however, we’ve seen more competitive pricing across the board, which means budget-minded brands like Polygon will be working harder to drive prices lower for mountain bikers looking to maximize their fun to dollars-invested ratio. Enter the Polygon Collosus N7, a 170mm, 29-inch wheeled enduro bike with an impressive sticker price of just $1,999. Let’s dig into Polygon’s value-minded enduro bike’s spec; six-bar suspension platform; geometry and intended rider.
As with all of our Dissected Features, this is not intended to be a long term review or endorsement of a product but is instead a chance for our viewers and readers to get a deep dive look into some of the newest tech and products in the mountain bike space. We thank Polygon Bikes and Bikes Online for the opportunity to create this feature and getting you some valuable beta on this affordable enduro bike.

ive had the polygon collosus N7 for a few months or so and i love it ,for the price its really really good, one thing tho it is quite heavy for a enduro at like 18kg so i would recommend running tubeless because ive recently done it and can conform it does make a difference in feel and weight

@or-ian6973 8 ай бұрын

Think about the enduro bikes you'll be able to purchase used in a few years. Pick up something like this for close to a grand in two years toss a few take off parts on it and you're ready to rock. Good time to be getting into the sport.

The problem is at the moment there is such an overstock of bikes that here in Europe you can buy, among many others, an Orbea Occam H20 LT for 2000 euros... Making all this budget brands a very tough choice.

Abysmal suspension design. So heavy and with 18 bearings + shock bushings. A standard rear suspension design also isolates chain, impact and braking forces. There isn't a reason to use this design beyond marketing. Also, had Polygon just made a simpler bike that won't crack like the Siskiu then they might not have to spec crap brakes and drivetrain even at this pricepoint.

@piciu256 8 ай бұрын

Plus a trunnion mounted shock as an extension of the upper triangle... Any flex that happens in the frame will be put directly against the shock with no way for it to flex sideways independently. It's not like they used all that "independent suspension layout" for anything useful anyways, since it is quite linear, with everyone mentioning how easily it flies through the travel.

@brandonb6164 8 ай бұрын

@@piciu256 good point. There’s a reason lots of the bike names are moving away from trunnion for their heavy hitting bikes. Yea the leverage curve, axle path, and anti-squat and anti-dive are all fairly standard. Really unfortunate waste of a good value

Have you guys even tried it ??! 😂 I can't say about the N7 with rs shock but I loaned a N9 for a complete afternoon of pure mischief it's a very smooth operator this thing eats ruts and rocks... Pretty great to use and consistently reliable, I had mucho fun on it...

@piciu256 8 ай бұрын

@@JustJake77 it's just wasted effort and unnecessarily expensive maintenance in the long run, since they overcomplicated the linkage and didn't really use it for anything, apart from marketing, the could have instead put the money towards better brakes for example, instead of 8 additional bearings.
