Polygon’s Siskiu T8 is a solid reminder of how fun even low- to mid-range bikes have become.

The Siskiu N9, here, is the hardest hitting bike in the Siskiu line, with 160 or 170mm travel, and angles that have strutted right off the Enduro catwalk.

Polygon Siskiu D5 review - MBR

Aug 2018 · Alan Muldoon

Yes, the Polygon Siskiu D5 frame is top-notch but the parts spec is lacking. If it was £750 it'd be a steal but it's outclassed by other £1k full sussers.

Highs
  • Super sleek frame design.

Lows
  • No rebound adjustment on shock.
