Hi all,
Currently I ride a 2012 Giant Reign and it has served me well, however I am thinking I want a bit of a change and have stumbled across the Polygon Siskiu D8.
I have included a spec list below - I am happy with the specs and the price, but I am not very familiar with the frame or suspension setup (I do see that Polygon have 5 years frame warranty which is something..)? I was hoping some of you burners may have some constructive criticism/feedback that will help me make my mind up.
I guess my main question is - would I be taking a step backwards if I sold my 2012 Giant Reign 1 and replaced it with the Polygon Siskiu D8. On paper the Polygon does look like it has better specs than my old reign (even with the small upgrades I have done), but paper specs vs actual ride quality can be a different story.
Some specs below..
Alloy XC Frame, 4.7" Travel,
Internal routed, tapered headtube
Rockshox Recon Gold Air fork & Rockshox Monarch RT Rear Air Shock
20 Speed Shimano Deore XT / SLX group set
27.5 inch Mavic Crossride wheels with Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres

Thank you guys and girls..
