Damn! Wished i was given such an amazing bike like this or even just a very cheap *under £1000* bike thats branded, But i'm stuck with an argos dxt300 haha 😥
It looks like he had an absolute blast on that bike. I'm very happy for him. Polygon has done a lot for helping people get out and ride without breaking the bank. Looking back I wish I would have started with them but I was new and had no idea who they were. I don't regret the bike I have, but it would be cool to have a poly to ride and test out. Grats on his new bike!
I'd never heard of Polygon until I was searching for a Specialized and Marin last year. Thank goodness they were in short supply and I'd watched a few UA-cam videos which brought Polygon to my attention. I got the 2021 Xtrada 7 and I absolutely love it.
Same bro. With the money I had during the pandemic (May 2020), I would have bought an entry level Siskiu and slowly upgraded it over time. I then bought a Schwinn S29, and still own it.
Recent sub, fellow content creator, and new to the sport of mountain biking. Just want to say, love your channel, what you do here, and the overall content. Looking forward to the next video!
Way to pay it forward. I gave a friend my last FS bike and he's loving it. He couldn't run anymore due to high impact concerns but the bike has got him out on the trail again. 👍
I did the same thing with my T8's rims... The literature says you need to tape them... They show up taped already. 👍 The only thing I'm not loving on my T8 is the brakes. They're just a bit too loose feeling. Strange, because my Marlin 5 had Tektro brakes as well that are rock solid.
Congrats Bryce! That was super nice of you, Evan. Keep up the great work. You have continued to improve your content since I first subscribed when you got the Mythique. Looking forward to your channel growing so you can continue doing great things!
Im really considering Polygon D5/7 for my next bike im super happy that they are also in EU and they ARE really competitive with prices here! Im glad i found your channel when you started! Great series man , you do you love to see it!
Nice, That is a beast of a bike shame in Europe they are still out of stock on M with 29ers. My friend has a T8 but the T7 has such a nice colour scheme.
Polygon do some interesting colour schemes. I've got the 2021 Xtrada 7. It's the yellow head with fading green. Every week just going to work I get at least 2 shouts from somebody saying they like the bike.
Hell yeah! I've got a 21' T7 as my first full squish and I love it. The only thing I'd change is a smaller crank gear. There's crazy hills out here in PNW land and i'd like a little more "bail out" in my bail out gear. Other than that, it's a great intermediate bike that I'll likely never outgrow, AND it looks rad. I went with yellow petals though. Gotta swap my yellow grips for blue ones to match.
Ooh I have a t8. Colossus T8 lol. I do have a Siskiu d7 as a backup bike though. I love polygon bikes, they're built like tanks. Plus the official store is really near my house. Even if they sometimes don't have the things I need and I have to go to the other bike shop. My suspension is at 20% sag though. Low clearance on the Colossus. That trail looks so fun. I hardly ride on trails because it's all mud here.
@@mudkayak6305 yes! The XL feels great. I didn't feel like it was a reach or cramped. I don't have much experience on other bikes but this one feels just right
@@hydroelement9349 It might be a while, buddy. We have had enough trouble trying to get people to claim their prizes to last us a while. If we ever give away a bike, it will probably be local and pre determined. Not trying to deal with shipping.
Hoping to buy a Polygon T7 or T8 in the next year! Seem like the bikes with the best bang for your buck and will be a good replacement for my stolen Raleigh Tokul hardtail
This is awesome! I too dont have a bike and been hunting on bikes online trying to get a t7 or t8 but they just havent had any larges for weeks now! stupid shortages.
BMX is a amazing way to learn and stuff I started on a BMX and I was already riding double black trails within 2 months now I’m a year into riding and sending it
Remember that time I helped you move into a fifth story apartment and it was 115° and raining out? Ninjas stole my bike last night while I was sleeping. I'll take a Siskiu T8 29er medium. Thanks buddy!
Future episode idea: Bike transport - high vehicle vs low vehicle. Sedan vs SUV. Pros vs cons, concealed in the trunk vs bike rack. Is this a valid idea?
I had a N9. It was great for a downhill bomber. It also weighed 40 pounds. Which made it not great climber. The only thing that really bugged me was the bottom bracket was lock tighted in. I tried to upgrade it and that was the end of that frame.
Hey evan, I need some help I am trying to install my new air fork and when I was getting measurements for cutting the bottom where the crown race is there was a gap. Not sure if it coz haven't installed yet, seal and bearing wrongly ordered or something else. Is there a way u can help plz?
Wish I could get a full suspension. I quit riding because my back is screwedcand I think suspension would help. The problem I'm having is I can't afford gas to even get Toba trail with my hardtail or any other bike. 😂. So it sits and looks pretty. Awesome of them to do!
I got the D5 as my first professional mountain bike ever yesterday . Let Me tell you. I have no Idea what the hell I’ve been riding all my life. Boy oh boy !
@@kxf2610 - that's an excellent suggestion, thanks. I'd not thought of the increase in travel. (as I'm on a 120mm HT at the moment) That alone will push my decision over to save more for the T8. It's nearly tax return time here in Australia, so fingers crossed I can stretch to the T8!! 🤣
just started watching your channel. it is really motivating me to lose some weight. I'm currently at just over 300 pounds so I got a hardtail orbea xl 29er but looking to get a polygon dual suspension once i'm in the 270 pound range, any other recommendations for a 310 pound 6'3 guy?
Dude Alex thanks for commenting that. I've actually decided to pivot the channel here in the next few weeks and do fitness-focused videos. I may not look overweight, but for what I'm used to, I feel like 40 lbs too heavy. So we can both work on our health at the same time. As for bike recommendations, I'm not too sure. I would google "full suspension bike for heavier rider MTBR" (great forum)
Don't wait for the weight loss. you can switch any time you are ready. Me and a couple of my riding friends are big guys. Just get a frame that fits you and feels comfy. At 6'3" you have tons of choices. You might even find some brands that make frames that's are too big for you! Specialized s5 or s6 frames would fit. Just adjust you suspension as you lose weight. Adding some air tokens a to quailty shocks would let you hit every jump in the bike park ,even at 300.

hi
U have a good bike i would like tu have the polygon he has before right now i have a 80 dls bike it's worse than a Walmart bike
Just bought one for my wife and she is loving it!
So where is the Suron video wipeout?
i laughed so hard when you say ``is that a electric dirt bike lemme ride that``
LOLL
We have a saying here in southeast east GA “hold my beer”
That’s exactly what I was hearing when he said let me ride that!
then dies
@@westoversoutheast that saying is everywhere
Properly grated for our entertainment.

Loved the “snapping of the reflector”, which is such an important assembly step in these builds!
1500 miles into owning my D7 and it has been a joy! Polygon is all the bike 80% of Riders will ever need for a great price.
That's a ton of miles!! I'm happy you like it.
Hahah this really was a "wait till the end" experience 🤣🤣🤣

@@EvansMTBSaga Appreciate ya 🙏
That’s actually pretty smart to have the sponser running with the video of you unboxing, that way they won’t skip if they want to watch the video
Evan: Whats the first thing we do?
Bryce: Stretch?
Evan: *Looks at Camera 😅
Cant stop laughing at that part hahahaha
I mean he was lowkey right, u should stretch before a ride !
More videos with him ! It seems like you have so much fun together
Most underrated UA-camr man , keep up the work 🤟🏼
Awesome to see your friend so stoked :)
You're a great friend, Evan!
Way to pay it forward. I gave a friend my last FS bike and he's loving it. He couldn't run anymore due to high impact concerns but the bike has got him out on the trail again. 👍
That's super nice! It's always great to help somebody in a new hobby!
Looks like you needed that life insurance at the end 😂
Love the channel man !
That’s a good one😂😂

Happend to me on a crf450r hard crash yet stod up laughing my ass of about how fkn stupid it was😂
@@peterlaham2592 that's exactly what I did, I'm 13 tho and I was on a klx 110 and it was my first time on a dirt bike soooo it sucked

That sounds like an awesome color combo! Swapping your crank sprocket is easy you should try it out!
It's really cool that the company does this to get people riding; and cool for doing this for your buddy 🤘🤘
Awesome video! We need more of these videos. Also, the electric dirt bike crash was epic!!!
Good job Evan . It's nice to see you helping other people .Keep it up
Great video as always! Loved the last ep.
Such I nice gift bro… you are awesome (and the sponsor’s too) ❤️❤️❤️❤️ best regards from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱
Glad I watched til the end cuz that whisky throttle action was great!!! Hope your knee and hands are ok!
Congrats on the bike Bryce.The ending tho.A great example of whiskey throttle.
Sick video man! Surprised there are not more comments about the bike being in the stand backwards!
Great vid, that guy is gonna be happy for miles to come in that polygon
I have a N8 and I absolutely love it. Polygon makes some great bikes!
Oh and rip hands…
"Is that a electric dirt bike? LEMME RIDE THAT" xD
Bryce rides confident and very well for a first time MTB rider.
I raced BMX for 20 years
@@BryceBetts I knew it. That 1 finger braking, not learned in one day. Congrats on your new bike. Now I want a T7.
@@BryceBetts No wonder! I think Evan mentioned he was a BMX racer as well. Is that how you 2 met?
thats a fucking nice bike for a bigginner lucky guy
Ooh I have a t8.
Colossus T8 lol.
I do have a Siskiu d7 as a backup bike though.
I love polygon bikes, they're built like tanks. Plus the official store is really near my house. Even if they sometimes don't have the things I need and I have to go to the other bike shop.

That trail looks so fun. I hardly ride on trails because it's all mud here.
I live in vegas too this guy is gonna like a lot out here especially if he already likes to ride mtbs, also it helps to have a nice bike like that.
That bike is sick i am saving for one of those cant wait to ride it one day
Thanks so much 🙌 I love my bike
Bryce you're the "friend" I assume? Cool. How tall are you, what size is the bike and how well do you feel it fits?
He's 6'1" and rode an XL
@@mudkayak6305 yes! The XL feels great. I didn't feel like it was a reach or cramped. I don't have much experience on other bikes but this one feels just right
@@BryceBetts surprised you and Evan have bmx backgrounds and size up despite being in-between sizes
@@eugene44569 I think because in BMX we are used to long top tubes. My favorite BMX bike had a 22" top tube, which is pretty roomy
Would love to see a full bike check and update on all the bikes you have
I'm planning on doing a video where I'm forced to work on all of my bikes besides the Yeti
@@EvansMTBSaga sweet, looking forward to it!
What's the over/under on how many people hit you up for a free bike now? I'll pick the over regardless of the number🤣. Nice bike👍
I'm gonna start the bidding at 250
So many! How long till we see a Wolftick nation fan some new wheels???
I definitely get it a lot, mostly from other countries which I can not do. Shipping a bike to another country is so pricey!
@@EvansMTBSaga Shipping anything right now is so pricey!

This is awesome! I too dont have a bike and been hunting on bikes online trying to get a t7 or t8 but they just havent had any larges for weeks now! stupid shortages.
That ending is hilarious (hope you're fine man)! That was a fun video like always.
Couldn’t be a better dude to get a free bike. Hope you’re all good from your whiskey throttle mishap!
BMX is a amazing way to learn and stuff I started on a BMX and I was already riding double black trails within 2 months now I’m a year into riding and sending it

You’re amazing, Evan!
I have a question my bike have 100mm fork and I want buy a fork 130mm .
do you think there will be a problem?
you are really so kind, so much love and support from Indian
Bikesonline is freakin awesome!
Future episode idea: Bike transport - high vehicle vs low vehicle. Sedan vs SUV. Pros vs cons, concealed in the trunk vs bike rack. Is this a valid idea?
Really cool video. You totally surprised me with giving him a mic too. I was like where is this sound coming from 😂
Haha I love those little wireless mounts!
LOL!!! I fell like that once and I've been using gloves ever since 🙂 Thank you for the review. I'm considering getting one
So very awesome. Love ya Evan and those match splash tires are so rad. How tall is Bryce, what size did he get, and how is the fit ?
Glad I'm not the only one who so carefully measures tubeless sealant, haha!
“Is that one of those electric dirt bikes let me ride that”😂😂😂
Beautiful bike! Enjoy those trails 🤙
Hey Evan, have you put tokens on the rear suspension of your yeti yet?
I have! Feels good, but the problem was the seals were blown!
I wish we had Polygons for sale here in Brasil, no brand can beat em on price range
How do you get those front on camera angles when you ride??
you should review the polygon trid dirt jumper
I had a N9. It was great for a downhill bomber. It also weighed 40 pounds. Which made it not great climber. The only thing that really bugged me was the bottom bracket was lock tighted in. I tried to upgrade it and that was the end of that frame.
Where do you buy the sealant from ?
I buy sealant only for 5$ and works the same
My man, doing the lords work!
Can I be your friend, too?? LOL Great job!!

I’ve been riding tubes since forever in the AZ desert and no problem at all haha cheers
The best part of the video is the ending!😂👏.cheers.

Me tell you. I have no
Idea what the hell I’ve been riding all my life. Boy oh boy !
That wipe out was hilarious. Hope you’re okay man
Oh dude!! Hope you're OK Evan! 🤣 Funny but.
Love this channel. I'm definitely aiming for the T7 or T8. You can't beat the spec at those price points.
T8 definitly because of Fox 34 fork and SLX...on 140mm of travel is better to have thicker stantions
@@kxf2610 - that's an excellent suggestion, thanks. I'd not thought of the increase in travel. (as I'm on a 120mm HT at the moment) That alone will push my decision over to save more for the T8.

oh man . . . that must have been fun scrubbing all that gravel out of the wound . . . hope you heal well!

Great video and killer bike for the price. 👏👏Polygon
Not having a bike but giving him his 1st bike but when he rides he looks like a pro...well hes a elite/genius mountainbiker
We raced BMX together for 20 years. So those bike skills really translate over to the big bike
Your so generous man….. I wish i can have that too for sponsor.. couz here in our country the bikes are to expensive.
That ending lmao, definitely gotta be careful with how much torque those things have
I'm local to phx can you recommend a bike shop. I'm hoping to find a hardtail crmo
I don't know any, sorry
“sana all” :-) nice of for doing that to a friend evan..
I wish you could get polygons in Canada...
Bryce is a straight-up sandbagger with those skills..
I agree!!
That's awesome!♥️

Absolutely! Do you have kids? I feel like I have an obligation to take my kids to the bmx track to learn how to handle a bike at a young age
@@EvansMTBSaga I do have one. I have him in a youth MTB program, so he should be in way better shape than me.
