This bike wasn't designed to be a light weight cross country racer, it was designed to take a beating...which is what I'd expect from even a Trail bike, let alone an Enduro. I'd buy one.

FACTS!

[@joebikes]

IMO, a little extra weight increases stability on the downhills. That’s why I eat a stick of butter before dropping in. Helps lube the arteries also so my heart beats better 👍

XD

[@devanvanvliet3522]

I've been on the bike for a decent amount of time now & I'm a huge fan! For someone who shuttles up, weight doesn't matter 😅. Even if you do, the descents are so plush & effortless - well worth it. The fact that you can easily drop the weight of the bike makes it quite appealing. 37lbs isn't bad relative to the competition (given the fact that the N9 is a lot less $).

Mine is 16,32 kilos. Love it. It's quiet and stable but rear wheel hit my butt couple of time.

[@patricksmothers7762]

Awesome stuff jared!

[@giancarlomacalinao5213]

Hi! Noticed your bottle installed. Just want to ask what brand and size is that? Thanks!

[@bikesonline]

It's a fidlock bottle :)

[@clint2627]

You could probably save a half pound on the cassette

[@JasonFoxLCB]

It's cheaper and (should be) easier for the rider to lose four pounds versus taking it off the bike. 😆 Only speaking for myself, of course.

[@bikesonline]

hahaha

[@JasonFoxLCB]

@@bikesonline Now go get that T7E rolling out. I need to replace my D7.

[@ActuallyHugo]

I really want the Pollygon Siskiu t8 in large but sadly you guys don’t have it in stock. As soon as it comes back I am going to purchase it. Do you guys have any idea on when it will be back in stock? I hope I can get my hands on it some time this month because my birthday is in may! Thank you guys!

[@bikesonline]

We should have some more coming around June :)

[@ActuallyHugo]

@@bikesonline Thank you for the reply!

[@yo_marc]

Funny - my DH oriented 26” freeride bike from 2005 is 41.5lbs.

[@bikesonline]

Legend!! 💪

[@robsudo2208]

So if i spend $1k more i can drop 3 lbs. Why not jusr soend $1k more on a different bike?

[@bikesonline]

For some people, that may not be an option. For this video, we just wanted to see what was possible!

[@robsudo2208]

What people who have the access and budget to buy a new polygon don't have the option to buy a different bike than polygon?@@bikesonline

[@Amphibax]

You still have a spare set of wheels and tires afterwards maybe sell them and get a good amount of your money back

[@oldmanmtb1443]

My ebike is 55lbs and when going downhill vs my pedal bike i perfer the ebike.

[@bikesonline]

That's interesting! There are many folks who feel the opposite regarding descending on an either bike. There's no wrong answer.

[@oldmanmtb1443]

@bikesonline the ebike just feels more planted and better in the berms.

[@1st2nd24]

18.15kg or 40 pounds (Small, with inner tubes) is way to damn heavy

[@bikesonline]

Despite its weight, most folks who have had the opportunity to ride this bike will tell you it's virtually irrelevant. The bike pedals extremely well and absolutely eats the descents!
