Join us in the garage as we delve into the highs and lows of the Polygon Siskiu T9 mountain bike. In this in-depth video, we address some critical issues holding back this otherwise stellar ride, and implement key upgrades to elevate its performance to new heights.

At the heart of the matter lies a compromise common in the industry: while Polygon manages to keep costs down, certain components suffer. The stock setup, while featuring top-notch Fox suspension and TRP DHR EVO brakes, falls short in the tire and wheel department.

We dive straight into the problem, discussing the drawbacks of the heavy wheel setup and lackluster tires that come stock with the bike. But fear not, as we unveil three transformative upgrades that will unleash the full potential of the Polygon Siskiu T9.

First on the agenda is shedding weight and enhancing durability by converting to a tubeless setup. We explore the benefits and ease of this conversion, laying out the steps and costs involved.

Next, we tackle the issue of traction and performance with a tire upgrade. Say goodbye to the stock Maxxis Assegai tires, and hello to the improved grip and agility of Pirelli Scorpion tires.

But the transformation doesn't stop there. We address the Achilles' heel of the stock Entity wheels, opting for a more affordable yet high-performance alternative in the form of Hunt trail wide wheels. We delve into the specs and installation process, showcasing the potential impact on the bike's overall performance.

Join us on the trails as we put these upgrades to the test, tackling the Nighthawk trail to assess the bike's newfound capabilities. We provide honest feedback on the performance of each upgrade, revealing whether our efforts have truly made the Polygon Siskiu T9 a force to be reckoned with.

Don't miss out on the full breakdown of our experience and recommendations for future upgrades. Hit subscribe and stay tuned for more insights and adventures with the Polygon Siskiu T9.
