Polygon Siskiu D7

Polygon bikes are known for being the rides of Mick and Tracy Hannah, but also as some of the best value mountain bikes in Australia, just about anywhere in their range. Polygon bikes come from Indonesia, but here in Australia everything is handled by Bicycles Online, who ship the bikes around the country and offer highly competitive pricing for Polygon bikes when compared to similar models from other manufacturers. The Siskiu D7 is the 120mm travel trail bike in the Polygon range, and for 2020 it’s had a bit of an overhaul. The Polygon Siskiu D7 on test is the special edition model that comes stock with a dropper post.

Bicycles Online say that the Siskiu has great XC pedalling efficiency with all-mountain capabilities. That’s a bit of a claim, depending on what your thoughts are on all-day pedalling or all-mountain riding. At under $2000 the Siskiu D7 is outstanding value for money, with quality parts like a Shimano 11-speed shift kit, RockShox and X-Fusion suspension, Tranz X dropper post, WTB tyres, and Polygon’s own brand Entity finishing kit and rims.

There isn’t too much to compare the Siskiu D7
