Welcome to the Channel Everyone! My name is Greg and this is my RU-vid Chanel. Here you can find videos that I love creating. Anything from Dirt Bike videos and vlogs, repair videos, and tech / project build videos. Everything from cars, to bikes to Pokémon; we love it all here on the channel. None of this would be possible without the huge support and help behind and manning the camera; my lovely wife.
At 5’5 I would probably recommend going with a size medium. I feel like this bike runs a little small, so even though you could categorize with S, you may be better off with M. Best way to check would be getting down to your local bike shop and test fitting a few bikes (this one if they have it) otherwise I’d say maybe medium would be best fit
"29 wheels are fast, but they can a bit unwieldy on tight corners. At least I feel more confident with 26-27.5. That said, I always try to enjoy whatever I'm riding.
I think if you were to get a size Large, it would fit really good! I’m 5’11 and I ride a large and I almost wish I got an XL. I think Large would fit 5’7 nicely
Every time I went there, I saw nothing but illegals, mexicans, diapers, and some douche through a bunch of rocks at my truck I think I'd be safer in Tijuana than Mexersfield
I really wish this bike came in a 29, as I’ve found that I like the 29er better. But the 27.5 is still actually really fun to ride, ride this bike not too long ago and it’s playful! All rider preference! The large felt a little small to me, I don’t remember what the sizing is but I would almost look and see maybe if the XL would be a better fit. Either way, enjoy the new bike!
I just installed and been riding it ever since. No issues, feel like throttle response is crispier than ever! Of course, retune wouldn’t hurt just to be safe! But I’ve been running it as it and love it👍🏼
Yeah track was rough second moto! But for some reason I felt more comfortable that second moto, even with the rain. Kind of knew what to expect after the rainy first moto👊🏼
Hold your elbows high, almost even with your shoulders, you'll notice a better feel and control. When entering a turn, move toward the front of the bike, over the tank as much as you can to weight the front tire to plant the front. When you exit the turn, move back off the tank, mid-section of the seat or more, on the bike to put your weight on the rear tire to gain traction or stand and pull up on the bars a bit.
Thanks! I’m going to have to give this some more practice next time I ride! Taking time off from riding has really messed with my technique and I found that it’s almost like having to relearn everything all over again! Going to take this advice and give a try next time!
Yessir!! I realize that my corners, especially right handed corners need ALOT of work, as well as flat corners & dry surfaces (like out at the desert). Few more sessions like this and may be able to get my cornering better!
Thanks for the support!! I’m roughly 5’10, but luckily, Polygon makes several different sizes on all their bikes! I think a Small or Medium Sized Polygon D5 could fit him pretty good and give him something to grown into!
Hey dude thanks for the review. Where do you live? Those trails look super awesome. Looking to get my first bike. I’m so stuck between the D5, D7, T6, T7. Like since I’m dropping nearly a grand, should I just get the D7 or T7? I want to be able to enjoy trails. I’m 41 so I most likely won’t be going super fast or jumping. I’m just starting out. It’s like I’m paying a grand, might as well spend a little extra. But concerned about messing up the bike. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the support!! I’m located just outside of Bakersfield, Ca but do riding all over SoCal Trails like Greer and Skypark as well! As for the bikes, I would definitely recommend the T series. They came out with that new T6, which looks like an AWESOME first time bike! The D7 is a great bike from what I’ve seen, but I think you’ll run into limitations on the D series eventually. Personally, I’ll never need more than the D series. BUT, since this video, I’ve upgraded bikes to bigger suspension & geared more towards trail / chunk / jumps. I found that if I ever find myself on a trail with a challenging feature, in my head I know I got the bike for it, now it just comes down to rider ability LOL. People say you’ll loose climbing efficiency but from what I’ve experienced, climbing is climbing and there isn’t to much to make that better, except and Ebike 😂 I definitely recommend getting into the T6 or even the T7!

As someone who rode in the 90's and now just getting back into mtb with my hardtail, I don't know any better! I'm scared to try a full sus bike because then I may need to spend more money 😭😭
I LOVE my Full squish MTB, it was a game changer for me! They get expensive for sure😫 I started off with a cheap entry level FS bike from Polygon, but quickly upgraded to bigger travel bikes. BUT for some odd reason though, I want another hardtail 😂
@@GregsGarage21 keep in mind I have only been riding a bike not even 2 years yet. Age 50 I learned how to ride a bike. I have the blue one - I do know that the updated frame is a bit different from what I ride. However I do follow Gabe Garcia on RU-vid and he owned the same bike as me- he purchased off my referral. He moved to a Meta- he likes the meta a lot more. but he is more of a trail rider and I bomb stairs so we are talking apples to lions and he has been riding for quite sometime. I did upgrade my bars and stem to PNW - I was having major arm pump problems and numb shoulders to fingers- after the upgrade to PNW I do not have any issues at all. The upgrade I need is -- improved forks as that would make a huge change in the ride feel. but for a first bike that I beat up pretty bad-- I have not had any problems with it very quite bike all in all.
