Was in the same boat earlier this year and the Polygon was on my short list. I ended up getting a Tues Core 3 for $4700ish otd. It was stacked for that price, Carbon, Ohlins, FR1500s, etc. Now have ridden it all over Whistler zero issues and love it. It's playful, jumps amazing, and handles the steep stuff great. My...

Looking forward to vehemently redirecting anything and everything to do with 32 in wheels to that thread in the future, despite all things 32 inch wheel still constituting rumours and innovation at this point.

With consistently high AS/kickback rate, consistently high AR, in practice Switch Infinity bikes just ride like linkage driven single pivots. They tune their AS to drop right at the end of the stroke to minimise kickback, but if your suspension is compressing fast enough to give you kickback while it's already 95% compression then you're about to have a bad time, and kickback is the least of your problems. Switch Infinity is a very complex and expensive way to do very little.

Jason_Schroeder Liked a product review More Than Just an Enduro Race Bike - Pivot Firebird Long-Term Re

7/28/2025 10:08pm

The latest generation of Pivot's Firebird enduro bike is a unique beast with an enticing set of skills. Despite its aggressive intent, it manages to balance big-hit capability with surprising efficiency on climbs. It's also got a lot of pep in its step for a 165mm bike. Marketed as the weapon of choice for Pivot's EDR racers, there is a lot more to unpack about the Firebird than just raw speed that makes it a compelling option for those wanting a long-travel bike. Highlights 165mm rear wheel travel // 170mm fork 29-inch or mixed wheel options (XS frame MX only)...

iceman2058 Liked a product review YT Goes Bigger with New Decoy

7/24/2025 11:23am

Launched in 2019, the Decoy was YT’s first foray into the e-MTB space. Whilst the online chatter often cited its geo as conservative, that did nothing to hold the bike back, whether in tests or in the web shop where it’s still sitting pretty as YT’s best-selling bike to date. Even the somewhat aging Shimano EP801 motor has done little to blunt its appeal over the past few years, driven as always by a strong price/value ratio underpinned by the direct-to-consumer sales model. With all that said, 6 years is an eternity in model years, and after launching two...

I had a Tues on order that went on a deeper discount. I sent an email to CS and they refunded me the difference. They had my money for about 1.5 month before the bike shipped. (3 weeks ago) I seem to have knack for buying bikes from companies that are about to tank, Nukeproof ate it right after I...
