Sold my t7..it was a good bike though but i wanted more juice

I’ve got a 2021 Polygon Siskiu D7, and the reactions you had was exactly how I reacted to mine. The D7, for people who don’t know, is the bike below the T7. I originally thought the Shimano mt200 brakes weren’t gonna be enough, that the geometry was gonna be a little off, since it’s kind of a long bike, and that the tires weren’t gonna be enough, since they’re 2.25s, but turns out I was completely wrong. The brakes beaded in extremely fast, the tires were super grippy, almost throwing me off the bike in corners, and the geometry felt amazing, for me being 5’7. It felt like a rocketship in corners and felt super fast and responsive on straights and technical stuff. I’m very pleased, and for the bike being $1800, nothing competes with it. It is by far a gem, for how amazing of a bike it is, and at its price point.

Was waiting for you to try out another polygon since you are sponsored by them! So glad you are trying this one!!

Just got a used 2021 T8(black/purple) with tubeless tires, spank bar, and 4 fork inserts for $1400.Guy was selling it for $2200 and went down after offer! Can't wait to rip her!

Those trails look like a good time. I pre ordered my T8 back in October and it will finally deliver this week and you've somehow made the excitement levels so much higher.

Who else (pre)ordered a T8 after watching this? I had been eyeing one up for a while, but this vid totally made up my mind, haha. thanks!

I have the 2020 T8 30th Aniversary, love it

The only reason I hesitate to buy this is I have read a few complaints from some owners of this Polygon Siskiu T8 that their parts came as generic brand rather than the high end one such as cheap tires and a generic brand drivetrain but not the Shimano SLX as advertised.

One thing I'll say is that bike is very quiet! It's always fun to ride a poppy bike. Glad you are stoked.

Sweet. Been wondering about that T8. Looks super fun. That purple frame 💜

Nice footage showing its capabilities. Makes me love T8 that much more! Also makes me want to move.

Mines arriving on 26th of April 😜

Love the looks, and not to be a prick, but I'm 90% that paint job is because of me. I painted my bike colorshift about 1/1.5 years ago and It was very rare back then, and no factory made it, now I see everyone and every brand make colorshift bikes. I can 100% guarantee everyone that's into bikes has seen mine, I own the nordic colorshift 2019 commencal absolut.

I think I found my dream bike...... those colors are just so nice

Nice. I got mine about 1 month ago. Haven't really been out much due to the weather, but I'm already for next year. I think this is the best value out there and it looks cool AF. Subbed for another T8 rider

I ordered this 2 weeks ago when pre-orders became available. Super stoked to get it... in like 2.5 months lol.

Fantastic riding!. Also, those trails look absolutely amazing 😍

My friend got the d7 recently looks sick

I had such a bad experience with tektro brakes. They were so soft just when I got my bike and when I tried to bleed them I realised that they were filled all the way to the top (so there was nothing to bleed) after that they were even softer and I had an awful time those two times when I went to the bikepark cause there was literally no breaking power... and to top it all off, when I opened that „bleeding screw“ for the very first time the o-ring ripped apart , and it was so small I didn’t have a spare one. So -just for one ride- i sealed it with Teflon tape, which worked surprisingly good -quick lifehack there ;) But after that I immediately purchased shimano xt’s. And I am so happy with that desicion .

I just got my 21 T8. It's sick!

Such a good looking bike! I actually bought a 2020 T8, but I hated the reach, it was way too short for me, so I returned it under their 14 day policy. If I had known they were going to redesign it, I probably would’ve waited for this model! Wish I could try a rip on one.

Trail bikes really are the most fun

My new Dream Bike, as of about 4 months ago. A lot of bike for the price.

Love my 2021 T8. Put 2 spacers in it, if I was doing jumps it can take 6. I'm going to get a 50mm stem as I'm the top end of the medium range at 5'9". Swapped saddles and grips. Love the bike it climbs so so well. It really trucks over everything with the 29 tires I have tubeless. Super plush for rocks and roots if that's the setup you want. Brakes are great, slx is awesome. Yeah it's a tad heavy but it doesn't feel that way on the trail.

I’m convinced geometry trumps travel. A well designed (enduro-style) bike with 100-120mm would be a lot of fun!

Nice video.. Is it good on tight turns too with the large 29" wheeles. I was going back and forth 27.5 or 29.

Have the T7, but swapped the fork for a used Fox 34 Rhythm... Its basically a T7.5 now. My thoughts: The fox34 can definitely use a few tokens to get dialed on anything but really light riders. I have a less favorable opinion of the Tektro Brakes. I find that while they have enough total grab, they require a LOT of of effort at the lever to sustain it, which is nice modulation on fast/flow, but becomes tiresome on long/steep descents. Minor quibble: Polygon uses a Shimano "Resin Pad only" rotor on these, but the Tektro Orions come with metallic pads. AFAIK this will only make the rotors wear prematurely, but won't cause performance issues.

Hi shredist, I would greatly appreciate your advice when purchasing my first full-suspension bike. I'm watching to buy the Siskiu N9 or Siskiu T8, but I can't really see the advantages of the N9 over the T8 by detaching the suspension. I don't plan to go over big jumps right now (more than 3 feet for me), and I saw in your videos that you ride both bikes, for that you can get a good idea of both bikes.

This bike is under REALLY heavy consideration for me right now. Pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. Nimble and good in the air but can still climb well.

@@Trevorj333 love it. It’s a great bike right out the box and the 2021 with the shimano group set is even better IMO.

I think I'm having a bit of an issue with the dropper on this bike. If you press the lever it doesn't go down immediately, it kinda requires an initial push to start traveling down. Basically I can press the lever and still be sitting on the saddle without going down. Also noticed when pushing straight down with the hand it is the same, very hard at the beginning of the stroke, but it slides down much smoother if you press diagonally (parallel to the seat tube).The seat clamp isn't overtightened, the cable is okay - no sticking. Does anyone have the same kind of problems?

The 34 is soo flexy
