    Great review! I love Polygon. They make good bikes accessible to more people.

    Great video! I've been eyeing this bike for a while for my son. He only has a freeride bike for bike park but needs something that can pedal and handle all the trails in Montana, including bike park. I'm going to pull the trigger today and buy one. Thanks for the review. Nice work!

    Been shredding my T7 for 2 years great entry bike and a great price! The frame is built like a tank and I've taken mine on everything from jumps to really gnarly single track and I've never felt better on a bike in the woods. Enjoy the bike I love mine!

    Super informative video!! The length was not an issue at all, given that you showed the bike capabilities very well. Riding a Trek Marlin 6 hard tail and looking for a budget full suspension. This is definitely one to consider. Thank you for a great review and maybe we’ll run into each other at Griffin sometime.

    I tried to buy a t8 a couple years ago. They didn't indicate it, but they were apparenty out of stock and let me buy it anyway. After waiting 3 weeks and nothing shipped, I cancelled my order and ended up buying a Diamondback Release instead. Both are solid bikes. Fair warning for anyone going this route - see if they have the bike you are buying, especialy if you are in a hurry or comparison shopping against another deal that is time-sensitive.

    Im really considering this bike now. I use a hard tail that cost me 800 but I upgraded the front shock to rockshox but I want to upgrade to full suspension but still not spend 3-6k since Im still a beginner.

    Most of my main videos are between like 16 minutes and 20 minutes. The only difference to me is if it's a longer video like this I don't always watch it right away I wait until I know I have 20 minutes to sit and watch it but I always do watch it

    So, you're 5'10 and a Medium fits OK? I bought a D7se in Medium and it feels small even though the bike sizer recommended it. Was going to return in for a T7 in Large because that's what the online sizer recommends. D7se in Large is OOS. I am only ~5'9" though.

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  6 місяців тому

      Honestly at the end of the day they have their "recommendations" but you still may not like how it fit and feels. I am 5' 10" with a 32" inseam and this bike felt and rode great for me. I'd say if you don't like it definitely go for the large and see 😁😁😁

  • @wheelinkid00
    @wheelinkid00 2 місяці тому +1

    Do you typically ride mediums? I’m the same height as you and cannot figure out if a medium or large is best suited. According to polygons charts I’m right in between frame sizes.

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  2 місяці тому +1

      So, I typically ride mediums and this video is a medium. I have recently had a T9 sent to me for review and it is a large. The large honestly fits very nicely 😁

    • @wheelinkid00
      @wheelinkid00 2 місяці тому +1

      So basically both would be rideable, just comes down to preference then?

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  2 місяці тому

      @wheelinkid00 imo, yes! I was very surprised with how nice the large felt though 😁 5' 10" with a 32" inseam. I would go large personally
