The Lowdown: Polygon Collosus T8
Polygon is not a household name in the U.S. when it comes to bike brands, but they are working hard to change that. Perhaps most noted is Polygon's United Ride (UR) Team featuring such stars as Mick Hannah, Tracey Hannah, Andrew Neethling, Fabien Cousinie, EWS regular Jamie Nicholl, slopestyle rider Sam Reynolds and recently added freerider Kurt Sorge.

Polygon is an Indonesian brand that does much of their own manufacturing, assembly and distribution and builds many different types of bikes besides mountain bikes. Overseas their bikes have been available for many years. You can add Polygon to the ever growing list of bike brands that are selling their bikes direct to the consumer via their website. Their US website currently features four full suspension mountain bikes, a hardtail and a cyclocross bike but they will be expanding their offerings to include mtb models as well as carbon road bikes. By concentrating on high-end bikes first, they are relying on the shopper to have a bit of knowledge about what kind of bike they are looking for. Bikes are delivered direct to the buyer's door step and are about 90% assembled for the most part. Many questions about the buying process can be answered in the FAQ section of Polygon's website. To help ease the online buyer's mind, Polygon gives the buyer a 30 day "Ride & Decide" money back guarantee.
We have been long-term testing the Polygon Collosus T8, an all-mountain trail oriented bike that features a full carbon monocoque mainframe and triangulated rear with enduro-oriented geometry. The bike rolls on 27.5" wheels and the FS3 (floating suspension) design delivers 140mm of travel in the rear. This bike is equipped with Shimano XT 2x10 drivetrain, Fox suspension front and rear, Spank wheels and cockpit parts and sells for $4,499.
