The Polygon Siskiu D8 received consistent, positive feedback from the industry last year. Flow Mountain Bike's review noted the D8 had "such solid performance and reliability from the components fitted to a sturdy and well-thought out frame". Mountain Bike Australia Magazine also reviewed the D8 and said the bike has "amazing spec for the dollars" which have been built around a frame that was "stiff and respectively light".
This Siskiu D8 for this year, like the D6 and D7 models that precede it, also features Polygon’s proprietary 2THRU system. This system allows the rear axle to use either a 9mm quick release skewer, as supplied, or a 12mm thru axle. This future-proofs the bike should you decide to upgrade your wheels in future. Whichever axle you choose the design results in a much stiffer rear end with more predictable handling and better cornering.
A thru axle is also included on the upgraded Rockshox Recon Gold Air suspension fork. The Recon Gold fork features alloy stanchions to further reduce the weight at the front end of the bike. One of the most popular features on the entire bike is the remote lock out lever sitting on the handlebars, so you won’t need to remove your hands from the bars to operate the lock out.
A Rockshox Monarch RT rear shock, complete the Rockshox damping duties. These feature the Rockshox Solo Air technology and an advanced lock out lever combined with rebound adjustment – perfect for almost all trail conditions
The drivetrain on the Siskiu D8 comes equipped with an upgraded 22 speed Shimano setup combining SLX front derailleur and shifters, together with the latest M8000, clutch equipped Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur - A true high performance drivetrain. The broad gear range combined with the lightweight package means this bike is also very capable on the XC race track.
Perhaps the most significant improvement on preceding models however are the incredible Mavic CrossRide wheels. They are a serious upgrade on this bike and absolutely unseen for a bike at this price point. CrossRide wheels remove a lot of weight from the rotating mass and feature sealed bearings, straight pull spokes with wider and lighter rims – ensuring that these wheels will be your loyal companion for many kilometres to come
