Summary

The Polygon Siskiu trail bike series is praised for its modern geometry, competitive pricing, and improved specifications, making it a strong contender in the affordable trail bike market. Reviews highlight its effective rear suspension and trail-ready handling, though some models suffer from subpar fork performance and component limitations. The Siskiu stands out for its value, offering features like dropper posts and quality drivetrains at lower price points than many competitors.

Pros
  • Modern, well-considered geometry

  • Competitive pricing with improved specifications

  • Effective rear suspension with good progression

  • Dropper post included at affordable price points

  • Quality drivetrains and brakes in higher models

Cons
  • Subpar fork performance in some models

  • Component choices limit the bike's potential

  • Uncomfortable stock saddle and grips

  • Limited water bottle mounting in some frames

  • Heavy weight with 29in wheels in certain builds

Key Quotes
The bike seemed to offer more performance than the price would imply, and it seemed like a platform worthy of future upgrades.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
Putting together well-appointed bikes for less money than its big-name competitors is a game that Polygon plays exceedingly well.
Flow Mountain Bike logoFlow Mountain Bike
The potential that's unrealized with this bike is both impressive at the price and depressing at the same time.

Polygon Siskiu D6 Review | Is the Siskiu D6 a steal of a deal? Or too good to be true?

Jun 2020

With its sub-$2K price tag, the Polygon Siskiu D6 aims to break the normal rules in the hardtail vs full suspension debate. Featuring a dropper post, progressive geometry, and a new frame that will take a water bottle, there's a lot to like. But is it too good to be true? Read on for our Polygon Siskiu D6 review.

Highs
  • Fantastic trail-ready geometry

  • A dropper post at this price? So good!

  • Nice under-bar dropper lever

  • Smooth and reliable Shimano brakes

  • Bonkers price

Lows
  • The fork-shaped object

  • Quick-release front axle

  • Handlebar needs more sweep

  • Brake levers & shifter don't quite line up
