They\u2019re pitched at the rider looking for excellent value, not cutting-edge innovation, and so you\u2019ll find effective but uncomplicated suspension designs, with practical, user-friendly components. The <\/span><b>Polygon Siskiu N9<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygonbikes.com\/ca\/mountain-bikes-ca\/\"><b>MTB<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, here, is the hardest hitting mountain bike in the Siskiu line, with <\/span><b>160 or 170mm travel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and angles that have strutted right off the Enduro catwalk. Wheel sizes? The<\/span><b> Polygon Siskiu N9<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is available in both <\/span><b>27.5 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>29er<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but not in all frame sizes.
