With 120mm or 140mm of travel, mid-range geometry numbers, and relatively attainable pricing, these trail bikes don&#8217;t tick off any buzzwords but should offer real-world performance. The all-aluminum SISKIU T8 is like a friendly reminder of bikes from the turn of the century. The head angle is a relaxed 66.5 degrees and the seat angle is a rarely seen, super-relaxed 68.5 degrees. As for the early verdict, I was very surprised by the ride of the SISKIU T8. It felt balanced and was extremely easy to ride. I was shocked at how well it liked being on its back wheel and how well it went around corners despite the hard compound tires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/4PWZUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read full article here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPolygon&#8217;s Siskiu T models sometimes fall into a forgotten area of mountain bikes.
