You can grab the Siskiu with either 29\u2033 or 27.5\u2033 wheels, with 140mm or 150mm respectively, though depending on your frame size you might only have one option. Polygon have nailed it, it\u2019s got the geometry numbers that stack up nicely with the competition, and the dropouts have Boost spacing too. There\u2019s a 35mm-legged fork and a wide bar and short stem. A 150mm dropped is ready for the steep stuff. 29mm internal rims give a Schwalbe tyres good stability. Sisku T is up to speed, with a 1\u00d711 drivetrain using a wide range cassette and 140mm travel will get you out of trouble most times. It\u2019s exactly the kind of feeling you want if you\u2019re an intermediate rider losing to push your skills to the next level. Given the price, the sub-14kg weight is pretty damn good. Pedalling performance was a surprise standout element for us too \u2013 it\u2019s a really stable pedalling bike\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/29YiJY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read full article here<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/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>\u201cThis is a thoroughly modern trail bike, made affordable.
