For the past 18 months we have received a significant amount of requests from our customers looking for a top spec, bigger travel, trail ready whip that could be delivered at one of the sharpest prices in the market. In response, Polygon have released their top of the line alloy, dual suspension trail mountain bike - the Siskiu T8. The T8 takes a step up in performance from the T7 with a combination of parts and technology designed for bigger hits, faster riding, and more nimble handling.

The Siskiu T is built around a new lightweight, hydroformed 6061 aluminium Boost frame and longer 140mm (29er) / 150mm (27.5") travel. By utilising a one piece linkage system, Polygon have been able to keep the frame weight down whilst reinforcing high-stress areas and reducing flex under heavy loads. The rear swing triangle also features a unibody pivot bridge that stiffens the rear wheel and provides you a lot more control when exiting high-speed corners and negotiating rock gardens. The Boost design means that Polygon have been able to include wide 29mm rims with 2.6" tyres (27.5" wheel) and 2.35" tyres (29" wheel). The frame is finished off with a tapered headset, rear thru axle, and internal routing for gears, brakes and 150mm dropper post.

The Siskiu T series utilises Polygon's new Wheel Fit Size System whereby each frame size is paired with the wheel size that best fits the rider and sets them up for optimal efficiency and power transfer. We pair 29er wheels with 18.5" and larger bikes, and more proportional, better-fitting 27.5-inch wheels for 17.5" and smaller bikes.

An upgraded Shimano 1 x 11 drivetrain powers the T8 with an 8000 series Shimano XT rear derailleur with a clutch and a massive 46T rear cassette providing plenty of range to glide up those steep climbs. The Prowheel crankset is a 2 piece unit and comes with a chain retention (narrow-wide) chainring, eliminating the need for a bulky chain guide and continuing the clean looks of the bike.

Dampening duties on the T8 are provided by a Rockshox Revelation RC front air fork which now comes with a new 35mm stiff and lightweight chassis derived from the iconic Rockshox Pike. This is combined with a dependable Rockshox Deluxe RT3 air shock on the rear with external rebound and 3 position compression. The bike rolls on a pair of wide 29mm rim Entity XL2 tubeless ready wheels and Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres with a nice and wide 2.35" to 2.6" width giving you loads of traction for climbs and hitting the berms.

Completing the Polygon Siskiu T8 is a Tranz-X 150mm dropper seat, Entity Xpert cockpit, and Shimano MT500 Hydraulic Disc Brakes.
