Polygon Siskiu D7 vs T7 | Which is right for you? 

I've been wanting to get back into mountain biking but to get a good setup it's so expensive and I've seen so many reviews on the t7 and super impressed can't wait to get some money saved up and get one looks amazing

Good stuff, easily the best review on youtube of these bikes. You actually ride them instead of just standing around and talking about components, and your review has just the right amount of detail in a clear format. I'm researching for a decent upgrade from my Marin 5 that won't break the bank and the Siskiu lineup seems perfect for that 👍. If you were to do another one of these comparison vids I'd love if you did one on the Trek Top Fuel vs Fuel EX 😁 Thanks from NZ

Nice work Phil and team! Having a blast riding and reviewing the T-Series on my channel! Both great bikes and great value!🤘🏻

I own the T7 and I setup and test rode the D7. Your assessment is spot on and it was well said and shown. Great and useful review.

Last year I upgraded from a box store Schwinn 21spd I'd had for like 10 years to the T7 myself, and WHOO BOY did I fall in love with biking all over again! So much so I bought the special edition D7 with the Suntour boost fork this year, so I literally have both of these bikes and I love em! Yeah, the D7 definitely is a little lighter and nimbler on technical stuff and more efficient in the flow trails, but that T7 just eats up rock gardens almost as much as those rock gardens eat your tires! Glad it came with those dual wall, reinforced 2.6" Schwalbes! Both of these bikes are just amazing!

The Siskiu D7 is capable of much more than what the chart at the end projects. I understand they want to sell the slightly more expensive bike that it's still a budget bike, but i even think the dude had a hard time depicting them as so much different even while it was his task, but to be clear THERE NO QUESTION that the T7 is a step-up and the better trail bike, but this is way more diminishing returns than what the chart projects, they are close, somebody skilled enough would be comfortable doing black diamond trails on it, but yeah the 5-10% extra comfort/performance will be on the T7, but the D7 will be super capable on everything but big drops.

Another nice thing about these bikes is that they don't cost an arm and a leg the way comparable Trek, Specialized, etc do! It really helps people who don't have that kind of money to be able to still get a really nice capable bike with name brand quality components and geometries

i watched your other video of the 3 bikes in the d series and reviewing the d7 you said it had 29mm internal width rims suitable for up to 2.5 wide tyres, so you had answered my question, so i bought a d7, thank you for the informative videos, Phil

I just order my T7 a few days and I can’t wait till it arrives . Been out of the mountain bike game for years but still riding bmx . So to start hitting the trails and downhill is going to so much fun again

Great video and those trails look awesome. I would love to try out the Siskiu t7

I bought a siskiu D frame without rear suspension for $350 and put all my favorite parts, really love the build, affordable but fits me well

I bought a D6 at $1200 USD its a FANTASTIC entry level bike.

Both great rigs 🔥🤙🏾

I’d love to see a review on the san Quentin 3 vs maybe the team Marin 2 ? I know they are quite different, but still love to see it

If there's one thing I love more than the serenity, it's the sound of a 2-stroke going flat out across the lake. The faster you go, the more of it you can take in.

great bike

Great comparison. I'm hoping to get the DSE next year.

Awesome video, thank you. If cross country is my main aim (and not super crazy rocky ascents and descents), would I go wrong by buying something like the T7 (actually I'm planning on buying the T8)? Is the D7 actually better at XC than the T7, or is it simply a case of that the T7 can do XC just as well as the D7, but well, it's simply not necessary for only XC?

Awesome! Would love to see more on the D7 SE and how the new fork compares to the old D7. Also just wanna look more at that sick paint scheme 😂

Hey Phill awesome video... But how do they compare to your upgrade D6

what about the difference of a position on both? Do you noticed any comfort difference? I am planning to use is in the same time as a MTB "tourer". Any other concept or feature (other than suspension travel) of the D over T makes the D a better choice? All I heard from your video is "if you don't need what T brings, D is good enough" but not that D would be any better from T at any conditions... I would appreciate helping out. Thanks!

Do you guys know when the Siskiu T7 29” medium in black and white comes back in stock? I can’t wait to buy one

Which one is more playful? And which is more versatile?

Seeing the comments about the frame cracks at gusset for the D7 and T7 does the T7 have an updated frame now. Seen comments that the D7 does but T7 frames have been replaced with T8 frames when cracked. (on the fence about getting a T7 as love the colour)

I reckon compare the polygon xtrada 7 to something, maybe the Marin bobcat/ san Quentin? I feel the bobcat and the xtrada might be just a bit too similar to have much to say, so the San Quentin would be a good point of difference

is the 2023 frame for D7 same frame as T7/T8? Are the wheels for the 2023 frame and nobby nic tires can easily be converted to tubeless? I don´t see any tubeless ready logos on either the tires or the wheels.

T7 for the win

Trying to decide between the D7, D7se, and the Marin Rift Zone 2. Now you've got me thinking about the T series too. Oh the agony of indecision. Thoughts?

Hey Phill just wondering why the cassette looks more on the box or sram side?

Which should I buy if I want to do some jumps?

is the d7 good on climbs or is it more difficult than the t7

Nice 🚲

if i bought the D7 could i put on 29 x 2.5 hookworms to use it as a commuter bike during the week, are the rims are too narrow or there is not enough frame clearance ?

Which one would be faster on the fire trails, like the ones at terry hills?

my transx dropper post on my D7 has a lot of laterial left to right play about. The smaller and upper part of the post twists around inside the larger lower post. What can I do to stop this looseness/play?

Is there any difference between the '22 and '23 models? Upgrades or are they the same bike with different year attached?

I used to own a siskiu d7 transitioning from a hardtail, my initial experience with the d7 ride was mostly positive, but there were some quirks that caught me off guard. One of the first things I noticed was that in certain curves, the pedals occasionally grazed the ground. This wasn't a deal-breaker, but it did demand a bit of adjustment to my riding style. However, the real challenge arose during minor falls. It felt as if I was instantaneously placing my foot in the inner part of the crank arm when I was attempting to touch the ground to prevent a fall, resulting in a few unfortunate collisions - about three or four times, to be precise. The turning point, or rather the tipping point, came when navigating those wooden bridges connecting the trails. A fall ensued, and my ankle ended up wedged between the crank arm and the downtube. As I slid down a hill with the bike entangled with my ankle, I thought that my leg would be broken Stranded on the trail with no one in sight, I had to summon all my strength to pull out my leg from the bike. This traumatic incident left a lasting impact, prompting me to sell my full-suspension bike and revert to the simplicity of a hardtail. Reflecting on it now, I've noticed that the downtube geometry of many full-suspension bikes extends parallel to the ground before taking a bend upward. This raises a crucial question for me - has anyone else faced similar challenges, or is it a matter of adapting my riding style?

Which one jumps better?

Bro uhmm Which bike would I buy d or t for asphalt?

I'm 173cm - which "D" should i go for?

Ooooweee venturing into wet rocky terrain...not my cup of tea. LOL.

I’d like to see the polygon e bike tested

He riding a medium d7 or is he a giant

Enjoy nature & subscribe! 😂

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

First

thx buddy, it help me so much to make my mind for the bike i like, ta
