Very good bike review and Everstoke review. I had a great time showing you around. This is a great video .
Had a blast! You guys are building an epic MTB destination. Can’t wait to go back.
I wish my property was this nice, I have elevation but the rest is a swamp tbh, I'm jealous of that land 😂
Been waiting for another good review of this model,thank you ,great video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking time to leave the feedback I really appreciate it 👍
Awesome video! Great quality stuff!
Thanks man! I really appreciate you taking time to give me feedback 👍
Awesome bike review + Everstoke? Great combo and a great vid! That last drop and aSingleTrackMind's wood double are huge!
Thanks man! I need to go back and clear that jump. It’s haunting me. I know I can.
Great video Jared! I agree with you on bars, stem, grips and pedals by T1 and call it a day. Only thing I would do later on is upgrade the travel to 150mm and that’s no biggie.
150 travel would help me not clap the fork again 😂 I might do that, but I’m trying to not go overboard on upgrades like I always seem to do 🤦🏼♂️
Excellent review that reeks of honesty . I’m a huge believer in short travel trail bikes . I have a short travel ebike and while it was a gamble it paid off. The connection with the trail is nicer than bigger travel and they are so much fun and very capable . Back to the bike you reviewed…. That drop was huge at the start but despite bottoming out it handled it but I do agree with the tire conversation . As for the other components I think this company gets it right bars and stem wise but the wheelset could still survive a few years for a less demanding rider ( man you do punish bikes 🤣) but for someone as aggressive as you they need replacing.
Really good review as usual mate and it’s great seeing someone talking about and riding the more affordable brands.
Thanks for taking time to give me the feedback. Truly appreciate that. I have a few upgrades for this bike coming soon.
Good vid and sick bike. Stop by Mount Shasta and check out some of the new trails out there. Only a couple hours from Klamath Falls
Definitely will do! That’s a place I’ve wanted to ride. Rode the lift bike park there once, but haven’t been back.
Nice bike man
Thanks bro!
i grabbed on sale, hunt trail wide wheels on my t7 and thinner 2.4 tire (tubless) and it made a world of difference
I’ve looked at those. They seem like a great option.
I think you should do a follow up, what would it look like to ride this bike adjusting for-big drops and technical terrain. The suspension is more than capable and you can make it a better bike. I think polygon is phenomenal value for money and as a platform you can build a killer bike.
Definitely 👍 I currently looking for a good budget wheelset because I think that’s the biggest fault. I’m also looking for some discounted tires. Want to try and do all the upgrades for less than $1,000 to keep it somewhat “budget”.
@@JaredHoff I think a video too user spacers and tokens would be dope, especially hitting that same drop. Great video to show what tokens do.
Dang!! That was a freakin' hard landing off that highest ladder drop! Seriously slammed the fork & rear to it's fullest limits with a loud cracking sound.
Definitely did. But the bike still handled it 👍
Honestly I agree with the upgrades, the wheels are the only thing holding that bike back.
- The brakes are probably some of the best in the market.
- The transmission is the gold standard for best value.
- Geometry and frame quality is top notch.
- The tires aren't bad actually, the problem is that they're a bit too much for the bike and the casing isn't the most supportive one, but other than being heavy they will perform just fine.
- I don't know about the dropper but just replace it when it breaks imo
- Cassette is also heavy, but as with the dropper, just replace it when it breaks
A lot of Polygon bikes use Novatec hubs, that are actually pretty high quality, you could just buy a pair of new rims and save money instead of buying a brand new wheelset.
You have to checkout my latest video where I upgrade the wheels. Made the bike ride so much better.
@@JaredHoff I will!
Great bike, lack lustre colour considering the T8 colour way although we cheaped out on the gold one too. Top of the line T really should be on par with how great the N9 looks... Unless the rumours about a T10 are true 🤭🤫
I actually like the forest green color. It looks even better in direct sunlight. I’ll try to show the color better in my next video, but agree that the N9 has a better paint job
it is a killer spec bike but you surely have to get a lighter garburuk cassette with that wheelset again like your n9
Definitely 👍 I’m going to try and stay budget in this bike. I’m thinking Hunt wheels and whatever tires I can find on sale.
It’s always hard to size up a jump and just send it without anyone to tow you in.
Do you need bike rack to restore your bikes? our company have it , are you willing to try iy?
I usually throw my bikes on a tailgate pad. Hit me up on my email and I’ll take a look. If I think your product is something my viewers would want to see, then we might be able to work something out.
@@JaredHoff Our product is specifically designed for bicycles and has been protected by patented products. I believe you and your fans will like it. We are willing to offer you and your fans certain discounts!
@@ChelseaZhang-zz6ey what is your company name? Are you from Tianjin? Thanks
@@LaurentiusTriarius Why would you ask if I am from Tianjin? Our company currently has subsidiaries in multiple countries, including the United States and Japan, but we do not have one established in Tianjin.
The only reason have not got one is I can't get a Small with 29" wheels.
This bike comes in 27.5 in a size small, but you could always throw a 29” wheel up front later.
Dropoffs kinda just suck. Basically falling and slamming into the ground. Probably stresses your frame more than anything too. I enjoy just about anything else though.
I hear ya!
Hard to fault you for that jump with 15lbs of wheels below you😂
I definitely need to get a new wheel set. I’m thinking Hunt wheels 🤔
Nice bike but doesn't ship to the UK
So sorry about that
What you really need to do is start working on your manuals again ☝
100% that’s going to happen 👍
@@JaredHoffYou could maybe do a miniseries about your manual progress. Drop maybe 1 or 2 videos per month. Just an idea.. I think people would enjoy it as most bikers have wet dreams about the manual 😊
Just buy a Canyon Spectral and call it a day.
That’s a good bike as well
Just buy a Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy(160/150 six different geo settings)and call it a day.
Your foot is not 12” probably only like a 10-12 foot gap
This guy knows my shoe size 🤷🏼♂️
