RidingAgain Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Things seem to be heading in a far more affordable direction with this manufacturer... https://www.bikesonline.com/2020-polygon-siskiu-d7-dual-suspension-mountain-bi https://www.bikeradar.com/news/polygon-siskiu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Bug Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 €1,299 = Euros, which converts to about USD $1,400 +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Bikesonline has it for $1200 w/ free shipping. Not sure about the quality of the total package, but that seems like a helluva deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingAgain Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 There is also a 29er version that I think is a little more. I'm thinking that it's the reason for the space in the rear triangle that the fella in the video review referenced... He was reviewing a 27.5 and wondered why it had extra space between the tire and seat post tube. Frame seems to get good review, and the components are solid.

Barry Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Well, it's about $1418 USD. That's pretty comperably spec'd (level-wise) to my GF Sugar from 2001, which was about $1300. But IMO if you're going to go this cheap, you're better with the $1100 HAL5 from bikesdirect.com. And you're much better off with the well spec'd $1600 version. Or hell (wrong thread, yeah but) they have a pretty good looking $3500 ebike with good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Funny, I had typed the USD price into the comment field yesterday based on only looking at the second link. Then I posed today without looking at your comment. Still, for roughly the same price, I'd go with the HAL5 or HAL6 because of the FSR suspension instead of the faux-bar. While it'll pedal roughly the same with a modern shock, the FSR should in theory have a more active suspension under braking. Both are pretty middling modern geo-wise. I'll also mentioned that bikesdirect.com was super helpful with warranty issues with my fat bike frame--like an 8-day turn around, as I recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
