Summary
The Polygon Collosus is a mixed bag in the enduro category, praised for its modern geometry, efficient pedaling, and value for money, but criticized for its weight and some setup challenges. Its suspension performance is noted for being active and grippy, though some find it too lively in rough sections. The bike is compared to models like the Specialized Enduro and Cannondale Jekyll, highlighting its position in the competitive enduro market.
Modern enduro geometry
Efficient to pedal up hill
Good value for money
Active suspension delivers masses of grip
Impressive parts spec for the price
Heavy
Not intuitive out-of-the-box
Suspension was too lively in rough sections
Limited seatpost insertion
High weight affects maneuverability
It dived in and out of a snaking section of steep, supported corners in a solid, predictable manner and the dimensions felt good.

Flow Mountain BikePolygon once again delivered an impressive bike for the money.
Loam WolfAll of that adds up to a not-insignificant 39.25 pounds (17.8 kg) – Collosus seems like a very fitting name given those numbers.Pinkbike

The Polygon Collosus N7 is the cheapest way to purchase in new enduro mountain bike in 2023. But does that mean it's worth buying? Spoiler Alert: It's for the park rats 🐀
Extremely affordable
Relatively solid spec given the price
Great performing suspension (one you set it up correctly)
Well rounded geometry
Weight (41 lbs / 18.6 kg tested)
Weak brakes
Minimal dropper post insertion
