I have a d7 because it is the right bike for where I ride-Bonelli SoCal. I am 71 and most of the time I ride it locked out just to up the downhill challenge a bit, but make the climbs easier. I also added a smaller sprocket.
Having both the D and the T, I used my same wheel and tire combo on both , and the T climbs equally well as the D but it was better everywhere else. The stock wheel and tire combo is heavy on the T. There is no place I consider the D a better option, regardless of where you ride. Again, owning both.😊
Are you running equal lap times? I own both but I'm way faster on my down country but the weight difference is huge between the two and I have race tires on the down and grips on my trail.
@@danielwu7238 it's a joke about the ever increasing amount of categories of mountain bikes. It's a down country trail enduro xc bike, it does everything lol.
I’ve got a d6 that I’m pretty happy with. Wish I had money to upgrade the fork.. and will soon change out the cassette or ring gear to help with climbs.
29er D7 Rocks !!! You can abuse it smoothly..... Super comfy geometry..... I'm 170cm using Medium frame and its a blast 🎉 Almost forget....I replace the stock fork with RS Yari - Boost 120mm

Thank you for sharing!
cool video... love all of the Bend backdrop shots 😎
Thanks! 😃
Well, I bought the D7, apart from the fact that where I live, I will climb uphill more often on a daily basis, but also because of the color 😅
very nice!
i recently bought a d7 and couldnt be happier with it
Glad you love it!
I actually just built a downdurocontrailxcee bike that I'm really impressed with.
Very nice!
what is a downdurocontrailxcee bike?

Glad you agree!
Polygon is a real deal
Yes indeed!
I have a T6 love it lots
That's awesome! Enjoy all of those adventures aboard your new T6!
dude polygon must be sending these things to a lot of youtubers i swear everyone has a t6/d7 review coming out
BikesOnline is behind that. 😎
So youre saying its not the size of your suspension, its how you use it...
Perhaps!
I’m not sure it’s as simple as travel. Ibis Ripley has 120 travel and it is more trail oriented than xc.
There are a multiple factors to it, yes.
Wendy didn’t know xc bikes could rip
She knows now!
I want the d7 frame only
That would be awesome.
