Mountain biking in Canada is a lifestyle. From the rugged trails of British Columbia to the legendary slopes of Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec, riders here demand mountain bikes that can handle diverse, technical, and often extreme terrain.
Enter the new Polygon Collosus N MTB series, designed as a high-performance enduro mountain bike lineup with two standout models: the Collosus N7 and the Collosus N9.
Both models share a common DNA: aggressive geometry, long-travel suspension, and full-suspension builds ready to take on the most demanding Canadian trails. But while they may look similar, each is tuned for a different kind of rider. Let’s dive in.
Meet the Lineup
The new Collosus N MTB Series introduces two bold models: the Collosus N7 mountain bike and the Collosus N9 mountain bike.
Both are engineered for serious trail riding, but each has its own personality, tailored for different types of riders. Think of them as siblings, cut from the same DNA but offering unique strengths to match your style.
So, which one should you choose? Let’s break down the lineup.
Polygon Collosus N7 Mountain Bike
The Collosus N7 mountain bike is built for riders who want the thrill of a full-suspension mountain bike without breaking the bank. It combines Polygon’s trusted ALX Enduro frame with a RockShox suspension setup and Shimano Deore drivetrain, making it a reliable MTB bike for everything from weekend trail sessions to backcountry adventures.
Polygon Collosus N9 Mountain Bike
If the N7 is versatile, the N9 is its high-performance sibling. Upgraded with FOX suspension and Shimano XT components, the Collosus N9 mountain bike is purpose-built for aggressive enduro riders who push their limits on Canada’s steepest, most technical trails. This is a mountain bicycle that doesn’t just ride trails, it conquers them.
What’s New on the Collosus N MTB Series?
The new Collosus N MTB series takes everything Polygon learned from previous models and adapts it to modern enduro demands:
- 170mm of travel front and rear for serious capability on steep descents.
- Refined geometry that balances climbing efficiency with downhill stability — perfect for Canada’s mix of climbs and descents.
- Tubeless-ready wheelsets and wide Maxxis Assegai tires for grip in wet roots, rocky descents, and loamy soil.
- Component upgrades that match the skill level of different riders — from reliable Shimano Deore on the N7 to high-performance Shimano XT on the N9.
