Polygon Siskiu T8 Review | Big Fun Without The Big Price Tag

Updated with a new frame, refreshed geometry and refined suspension kinematics for 2021, the latest Siskiu T continues to carry the torch for Polygon as the brand’s wildly popular trail bike. Sitting in between the Siskiu D (XC) and the Siskiu N (Enduro), the Siskiu T is a fun-loving trail ripper that’s built for maximum versatility. Think bikes like the Specialized Stumpjumper, Trek Fuel EX, Giant Trance X and Norco Fluid. Unlike those brands however, the Polygon Siskiu T is sold direct-to-consumer in Australia via Bicycles Online. And that means the value for money on paper is impressive. Like, really impressive. Of course a cheap bike with attractive components is one thing, but a bike that puts a smile on your dial when you ride it? That’s another thing altogether. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2021 Polygon Siskiu T8 Video Review 0:00 - Intro 0:12 - Siskyiewwwww! 0:35 - Siskiu Overview 1:52 - New Frame Features 2:41 - Geometry 3:11 - Pricing & Specs 3:53 - Confirmed Weight 3:59 - Sizing 4:34 - Suspension & Tyre Setup 5:35 - Climbing 7:08 - Suspension Performance & Tuning 8:40 - Handling 9:30 - Descending 10:11 - 2.6in Tyres 11:12 - Component Highs & Lows 12:54 - The Verdict --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Love mountain biking?
