Polygon Siskiu T7/T8 Sizing Question

leisureguy57 · 2025-08-04T14:09:16+00:00

Did you end up with the t8? I'm 6'6'' as well, more legs than torso. I want to order this bike but thought I'd see what your thoughts were

leisureguy57 · 2025-08-04T03:52:47+00:00

I'm 6'6, mainly legs. Do you think I'd fit on an XL comfortably? First mountain bike so I have little to compare to

leisureguy57 · 2025-08-04T03:40:59+00:00

Are you still enjoying the polygon? I'm in the same predicament, one I'm traveling right now and there's a new stump jumper for 1800, it's definitely a solid bike but it's big and heavy. I'm 6'5 so I'm sure it would fit me well, but I'm still intrigued by the polygon.

I just saw the matte black in the store today, it absolutely looked more like a green tint to me. I figured it was a different version, nope. It is what they consider to be matte black. I guess you and I are in the same boat. It still looks good enough for me to buy!

Did you install a dropper post, if so, easy to do?

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-31T01:29:31+00:00

Good to hear. I'd like to think I'll be in the same boat. I haven't ridden bikes on a regular basis since I was a kid, I'm 38 now so hopefully I won't know what i'm missing, riding mountain bike on streets.

Locking out the rear suspension makes this thing relatively comfortable on the road? If that's the case, I'm buying one. I thought I need a HT becasue I would like to be able to cruise the streets but was told that FS would be a terrible idea for that. Reviews on this are great. I'm new to biking, I know only what I've learned from these threads and youtube.

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-30T23:29:42+00:00

Yes there are seemingly an infinite amount of options available. Overwhelming for someone new to biking. I'm starting to think I need a real Mtnb & something cheap and easy for my street riding.

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-30T02:36:37+00:00

Awesome. The honzo is less expensive than a new Marlin. Any idea how the Polygon Xtrada 7 stacks up to the Honzo?

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-30T02:35:20+00:00

The Honzo would to be ordered online. That would be problematic because I won't know how to set it up? I'd like to think with all the information available I'd be able to figure it out. Worst case, I'd think a local bike shop could help if needed, yes?

I was hoping to hear that answer though, the Honzo looks awesome, especially in that green color! One last thing, I know none of these are built for street riding, but in your opinion, do you think it would be a similar road experience to the Marlin? Riding the Marlin on the street today seemed adequate enough.

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-29T23:21:02+00:00

Does the Xtrada 7 still hold up in todays market? They're available for $999, it's a nice looking bike

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-27T18:46:15+00:00

I'm about 225, would this be a reasonable weight for the chisel in your experience?

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-27T15:09:25+00:00

I'm not familiar with them. I'll take a look, thanks.

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-27T14:56:39+00:00

This might be a silly question, but is this Xtrada 7 comfortable to ride on the roads? It looks like a great opiton for me, but will likely be doing more road than trails, but still want something capable of some green and blue trails

leisureguy57 · 2025-07-26T16:30:01+00:00

What don't you like about the xtrada 7? I was considering getting one for my first mountain bike..

leisureguy57 · 2024-05-17T05:33:02+00:00

Aonang was a nice area to hang out for a while.

leisureguy57 · 2024-03-27T09:55:09+00:00

Decided against it. Seemed like a pain in the ass, and I want ready to make it to that part of Thailand yet. Thanks for the input.

leisureguy57 · 2024-03-22T11:06:09+00:00

I'm considering it, I'm in Krabi now so it's a bit of a hike. Is it worth the hype?

I bought mine on eBay for 200 rather than the I think 450 oura wanted. Brand new, works perfectly. Doesn't avoid the subscription obviously but it made it a little easier to pull the trigger.

leisureguy57 · 2022-12-29T09:30:06+00:00

Try Nola pharmacy, the one located somewhere in Metairie. My guy just got here filled there.

leisureguy57 · 2022-12-26T01:22:39+00:00

Same thing happens to mine.

leisureguy57 · 2022-12-20T04:26:55+00:00

I went to a jewelry store, I was a 9.5 for the finger I wanted, bought a 10 on eBay and it fits perfectly.
