I've been patiently waiting for my bike for a few days now. I can't tell you how many T7 videos I've watched in the last week. I'm down to around 5 a day now. I'M TOO EXCITED!!!
Hope you get it soon. It is very fun bike. Let me know how you like it once it arrives
@stratgibson Monday is gonna be a good day!
@@StraightLine_MTB This bike is AWESOME! It's very sluggish (38 pounds) compared to my old XC hardtail (30.5 pounds) but I quickly got used to it in a single ride. I hit some small jumps (6 foot tables) and drops (3 feet) and it felt great! I wish I could put tokens in the fork so I may have to upgrade but it's solid. I had a great time and will definitely progress on this beast.
@@agrsk8r awesome. I agree it's heavy but I felt like it rides lighter than it's weight. Changing the Vee tires on ours to something lighter and faster rolling made a great difference. It's a bike you xan enjoy for a long time or until you want to upgrade.
@@StraightLine_MTB I ended up with the Vee tires too. Was a bit bummed when I saw them. I was hoping for the Schwalbes. New tires will definitely happen soon
I love mine! This is my first “real bike” and I loved it out of the box but I did change the fork to a bomber z1 and the rear shock to a Fox DH X2 and the new TRP brakes are and are amazing!!!! Lastly I have a carbon race face handle bar. It rides like a dream now!
Nice. It's a great bike for sure. X2 and Z1 sound awesome fir this bike. Thanks for watching Josh
@josh By any chance, would you mind advising the specific model of the TRP brakes you used? Interested in uograding my brakes. Was looking at magura but I’ve heard good things about TRP brakes. Thanks in advance!
Man at that point you could have bought the T8 and started out at about what you upgraded to, for most likely a lot less money.
After a ton of research, the T7 was my choice, never had a full suspension and happy I went this route. The difference on climbing is AMAZING, of course downhill is always better which I found this bike to do extremely well. Personally, I'm not upgrading anything until after a nice solid year of riding. Even then I will start upgrading slowly like grips with my biggest change being the drop down post and eventually forks. All in all, I am enjoying the bike A LOT and will just keep beating it up before doing any upgrades.
It is a great bike out of the box. Sure it's a bit heavy but didn't feel that on the trail too much. Ready to rip and upgrade as you wish to make it an even better bike.
The only thing I changed up was the grips and pedals. Great bike! Can’t believe that it climbs the way it does. The free hub sounds awesome!
Great bike out of the box. Thanks for watching
I picked one up last summer and am extremely impressed with it overeall. I do wish I had bought the T8 but with two kids under 4 years old, I just don't have time to ride and didn't want to spend more. I haven't gotten to really test it much but for the price it's extremely nice! I got some carbon bars and a Renthal stem and it feels great.
T7 is still a great bike and even though I've ridden bike 3x more.....I really can't complain on what you get for the $$$.
@@StraightLine_MTB Exactly, which is why I bought it! My cousin ride's a 5k Trek Fuel and he was impressed with the Polygon for the price.
I love Polygon especially the E bike.
Great video buddy, a nice bike and great tests. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Ride on
Thank you amigo!
Thank you very much for the great review
It was helpful
Awesome, I'm glad it was. Thanks for watching
I just got the bike. I ride rough roads. I'm 5'9" 160 lbs. I got a large 29er. Medium would be too small. $2000 is a lot of money for a bicycle. If this a serious hobby then go for it. Perfect out of the box! I love it.
Im abit under 6ft 1(185cm) tall, will the large 29er be good size for me. Thanks
@@mustafa24241 I would order extra large. Ride one before you order or ride a bike with similar dimenstions.to know it is for you.
@@michaelb41 there's only large left in stock
@@mustafa24241 I would pass. I wear 30/30 waist and pant length. I cannot imagine being taller and riding my bike. Best wishes!
Good video I would say compare it 2k bikes not 6k bikes, it’s not a fair revive. It’s like comparing a Kia to a car costing 200% more
Well I compared it to more expensive bikes because it can hold it's own. Of course there will be differences but my opinion is that as is it wasn't a bike that felt 3 times less expensive than the others
Great review
Thank you 🙏
This is a legit $3000 bike that sells for $1800, almost too good to be true.
Nailed it. I was extremely surprised how much you get for the price. I rode this bike on the same trails I ride $6k bikes on.
@@StraightLine_MTB even if you price out the components it's hard to see how they are making any profit on these. Virtually every other bike from big brands with the same component set sells for at least $2,600 + tax. I guess this is just one of those rare instances of a legitimately good deal with no catch.
My T7 showed up today after 15 day wait. I'm super stoked with it! Mine came with Hans D. Tires. i can't wait to tear up the trails with this beast! My gears are out of spec and skipping tho.. Can I adjust the barrel up top or do I have to mess with the derailleur?
Nice. Ours was supposed to come with the Hans but instead got the Vees. You can adjust via the barrel adjustment but go one click at a time. Just make sure to check if it needs to tighten or loosen. Should be relatively easy so long as B screw was set correctly
How long did it take to get the tracking number? I ordered mine last Tuesday, it's Saturday now and they haven't shipped it yet. I saw somewhere that they say up to 5 BUSINESS days to ship because they need to build the bike so I'm not expecting the shipping info until this coming Tuesday. I was just curious what your experience was since it took 15 days total for you.
I should specify that it's in stock, not preorder.
@@agrsk8r I think mine shipped in a few days. I think they're getting lots of orders so possibly taking a bit longer than normal
@@StraightLine_MTB we're about to get hammered with 3 days of rain. Maybe even a little snow on the third day so who knows when I'll be able to ride again anyway. If it shows up the day before the trails are ready to ride that would be perfect.
Hi, I blew out my fork seals is there any chance you know what MM seals I need to replace them with.?
Should be available to order at any local shop. RS stuff I usually pretty easy to get
im thinking about getting one for my birthday? im just worried it will be hard to setup the bike and hard to setup the suspension
Bike comes out if the box 95% assembled. Put on handlebars and front wheel and that's about it. Fir suspension measure 30% sag on rear and around 20% up front and ride. As you get more familiar with the bike you can adjust as needed. It's a great bike to start out on.
quick question - This or the Marin Riftzone?
I felt like the T7 climbed and descended better. Very similar bikes but I'd go for the T series personally
@@StraightLine_MTB appreciated, looking for a bike for my 13 year old. Will sling on a set of XM1700s i have to take some weight out and get him ripping.
@@shaun1900 great choice of wheels. It's a solid bike and value is excellent.
What style bash guard can I use for this? I'm seeing 2 different size options on Amazon.
Iscg05 and you should run the one upto 32t for stock front chainring.
@@StraightLine_MTB perfect. Thanks! Your review is why i bought this bike. I'm very happy with it.. I am getting some creeking noise in the rear end that's kinda annoying but other then that is really sweet bike so far.
@@taylorn8432 awesome, glad I was able to help. My got really creaky and found it to be the shock mounting bolts. Easy fix, pull them and greased with parktool poly lube and it went away
may i ask how tall you are and what size of this bike pls?
I'm 5'11.5" and this is a size large.
You know you made it when you’re riding a thick thousand dollar bike.
It's thicky thick 😆.
"thick thousand dollar bike"..... wondering what that means? I'm looking to buy this bike.
How does it compare it with D7
While I have no time on D series I'd guess the D is more XC and T series is more trail. If you're riding more mellow trails putting in a lot of miles then the D series might be the better option. I thought the T series pedaled really well
Thanks, really useful review...i wanted an allrounder bike for long term use.. so ordered one T7, however had reviews pertaining to be non efficient climber. So lets see, ur review does talk it is an efficient climber. I m getting into mtb sport and hope to keep it long term if i like it. Also one last question, whats your height, i am 175cm and ordered large as per the bize sizing guide. I hope it is comfortable, whats your opinion on Siskiu sizing.thanks once again
@@prituldoshi I thought the bike climbed well for the weight. I had taken it on long rides and had no issue with it's uphill performance. I am 180cm and on large. The fit was good but on the more compact side especially when compared to a bigger enduro bike. I really enjoyed the T7 and continue to recommend it fir it's price
@@StraightLine_MTB Thanks a lot, this is really helpful
Amount of times you said a $2000 bike , was almost apologetic . The T7 is better than that
It was more of an exclamation of the amazing value. No apologies necessary or implied. 😮
These bikes are dirt. The frames crack at the weld between the top and seat tubes (75kg rider).
While I personally haven't had this issue but I will keep an eye out. At 210lbs and riding this thing pretty hard I have not seen any issues and am impressed so far. That said, I have cracked both carbon and aluminum frames at twice the cost of this frame. While unfortunate, I really judge brands on their service when these things happen and how fast they can get me back on a bike.
Been riding my hard for several months and only thing I've done is gone tubeless, pedals, bars, and grips. I love it. It has taken everything thrown at it. Even the crashes. Zero complaints.
No they don't man.
