First Ride: Polygon Collosus DH9

FIRST RIDE
Polygon Collosus DH9



Nearly two years ago, Mick Hannah and other members of the Polygon UR Team began showing up at World Cup DH races aboard prototype versions of a new downhill bike. For a time it seemed as if Mick was aboard a different bike at every race, and there was little indication that Polygon had any plans to release the bike to the public. That's all about to change with the introduction of the Collosus DH9, which will be arriving this fall with 203mm of travel, 27.5” wheels, and an aluminum front triangle paired to a carbon swingarm.
Details
• Intended use: downhill
• Travel: 203mm
• Aluminum front triangle, carbon swingarm
• 27.5" or 26" wheels
• 12 x 157mm rear spacing
• 83mm threaded BB
• Sizes S, M, L, XL
• Frame weight: 9 lb with shock
• Price: $5499 USD
It's the price that's most likely to cause riders to take a second look – the bike comes with a full Shimano Saint gruppo, FOX's new DHX2 shock, a 40 FLOAT, and e*thirteen wheels, all for $5499 USD. There will also be a second model in the line, the DH8, that's equipped with a Zee build kit, Spank wheels, and RockShox suspension for $3999.

A dual link suspension layout handles the bike's 203mm of rear travel.

Frame Design

The Collosus DH uses a floating dual link design, with the rear shock sandwiched between two triangular links and running through a split in the seat tube. There's a chip at the rearmost shock mount that can be flipped in order to alter the bike's geometry, lowering the bottom bracket height to maintain similar handling characteristics if a rider chooses to run it with 26” wheels. The head angle does change slightly depending on the chip's position, but it's only by .3 degrees, an amount that would barely be perceptible out on the trail.

The Collosus DH9 comes with an enviable parts kit, including FOX suspension, a Shimano Saint drivetrain, and e*thirteen wheels shod with Schwalbe's Magic Mary tires.

Ride Impressions:
bigquotesAs Whistler filled to near bursting with riders and spectators in town for Crankworx, I managed to escape to the upper mountain for a few laps in the Garbanzo zone with the Collosus DH9 in tow. Months of hot weather had left the trails dusty and dry, pockmarked with braking bumps and wheel grabbing holes, conditions that would put any downhill bike to the test.

The most noticeable handling trait of the Collosus was how short the bike's front center felt. With a claimed reach of 428mm in the high setting its geometry isn't that out of the ordinary, but the 30mm stem the bike was set up with made the cockpit feel even smaller. On tight and twisty trails this translated into a quick handling ride that could easily be whipped around corners, but on the longer, more open sections there wasn't the sense of stability that comes with a roomier bike. Polygon does offer four sizes, all the way up to an XL, so riders may want to consider sizing up depending on their fit preferences, or at the very least run the bike with a slightly longer stem.

I rode a mix of trail styles aboard the Collosus DH, everything from more natural, rock and root filled tracks to machine built, smoother jump lines. On the whole, the bike's suspension felt well balanced, with plenty of support for popping off the lips of jumps or hopping over a mess of roots, and the frame itself was quite solid, without any noticeable flex from the back end. I did find that when things got really rough, say in an extended section of stair-like roots or a jumble of rocks, the DHX2 shock went through the last portion of its travel more easily than I would have expected - there didn't seem to be much ramp up to help the bike deal with bigger hits. Members of the Polygon UR Team have been using air shocks throughout the season, and I'm inclined to think that that would be the simplest way to achieve a more progressive feeling.

A handful of Garbanzo laps is just enough to get a taste for a bike, an appetizer that hints at what the bike can do, but it's safe to say that Polygon have put together a quick and playful DH sled, one whose parts kit and price are sure to have more than a few riders adding it to their wishlist. - Mike Kazimer

 We are working on a fender to keep mud off the rear shock.

 Would this be supplied as standard? I personally find shock position like this is a big turn off if you live somewhere which is wet a lot of the year.

 We tested this bike over the winter and spring in Squamish, BC. It was pretty wet and we spent a lot of time riding in the rain. After we installed an inner tube fender to protect the rear shock from mud there were little to no mud issues. We are still working on a way to keep mud from building up between the knobs on our tires. Stay tuned ...

 Always appreciate it when the manufacturers reply to comments. That and the fact that it takes both 26 and 27.5. Surely all downhill frames can be adapted to work that way. Bolt on an XFusion RV1 or Marzocchi 380 (hopefully someone can keep on making them) and voila!!!

 Kurt Sorge has been riding his DH9 with 26" wheels at the Fest Series events and has been sending it. So if companies keep making 26" forks things should be fine.

 Why can't a 26" wheel be run on a 27.5 fork???
  • 12 0
 @unrooted the fork offset is different for a 26" fork and a 27.5" fork. That being said lots of guys are running 26" wheels in a 27.5" fork.
  • 1 1
 you can use an angle set to cover the offset
  • 1 0
 @Bird-man now I understand what you're getting at, but I'd honestly leave the headangle and run the extra offset, its not a big deal really. Monster T's had an extra 3/4" of offset over a regular fork way back in the day, nobody complained about that if anything it just added to stability.
  • 1 0
 You can decrease the head angle to help with the offset change, but when I ran a 27.5 Fox 36 on my 26in wheeled bike the bike was noticeably twitchy when steering. More offset = less trail, less trail, if everything else remains the same, results in quicker steering and less stability. You can lessen the head angle to help compensate but the Cane Creek angleset only gives you 1.5 degrees to play with, I haven't done the math to see if that would be enough to keep the trail number relatively the same after adding offset.
  • 2 0
 @Gills: 1° less is roughly 5mm more of trail. 1.5° is more than enough

 I have a M9 with a dorado that I converted to a 27.5 as it has 3 differt rear triangle settings and when I used the darado it was very long 52 inches and did not steer in fact the front end would constantly leave me......I steepened it by .5 and that made it a world of difference now i feel the front wheel solid in all turns its super stable at speeds....and no need to go to the 27.5 darodo! angle set was nessasary for me and it came with the m9.....so my conversion consisted of me buying 2 rims and 2 tires which i had to do anyway!!!!!!! the angles are almost the same as the m16 now.
  • 1 0
 @faul, That's good to know, 1.5 deg. would definitely make up the difference of the added offset, I think the Fox 36 has about 7mm added offset for the 27.5 forks.

 THANK YOU Polygon!!! For those of us who ride at a professional level but don't give a crap about increasing our wheel size, I give you many thanks for continuing to offer us a 26" option. Plus I can see that you really do care about your customers, marked by your personal responses to our comments. Cheers to you! *clink*

 It's nice to have the option to run a different wheel size in a DH bike, a lot of bike park trails are going to be a lot more fun on a 26" wheel and a lot of them are going to be faster on a 27.5" wheel. This give the end user the chance to choose what they want to run.

 This same logic can be applied to the use if a saddle, running only a seatpost will save you some weigh also.
  • 16 0
 The reason we keep the saddle on is because of laziness. After a long day in the bike park we like to do a couple of B-Line laps sitting down. A better rider could get rid of the saddle and the seat post, but we would not advise it. Pedals are probably a really good idea too.

 Fox did one thing really nicely - putting those setting knobs under some angle, so you can access them at any time, probably on any frame, no matter how crazy the design is. This is a big pain on CC DB shock where i have zero area to work with knobs on certain bikes...

 Polygon owns it's manufacturing facilities and is giving customers factory direct pricing. There are a couple of other brands out there doing this and I think we will be seeing more of this in the future.
  • 3 5
 They are selling the killer spec at wholesale, marking it up from OE. It's not a business model that any bike company that uses dealer-retailers can utilize. It's hiding the cost of Saint and Fox Factory level parts, not actually bringing them down. Polygon USA is a small number of bros (gals?) in an office posting to pinkbike and will never support another job. The very small profit from each polygon sold goes straight to the Indonesian owner, rather than into the domestic economy (whichever country or economic zone the rider lives in).
  • 11 0
 In Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore ... Polygon sells through a distributor to bike shops, so similar to the current bike shop model seen in the USA. The USA is a new market for Polygon so to keep costs down Polygon went with the customer direct approach. This does not mean that Polygon will not work with your local bike shop to get a bike to you. Our model is to get a bike to you the easiest way possible. If you want to buy from your local dealer have them contact us at info@polygonbikes.com and we will make it happen.
  • 2 2
 In Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore polygon (or the company that owns polygon) owns 30-something retail stores, so it's still direct. Also, those countries' biz practices (incl. prices) aren't really relevant to North America and the euro zone; the market is totally different.

At least, for you guys who thinks that N9's uglier than an Orange Alpine in orange, just look at the fifth image at the link that @Polygonbikes has provided.

So now we'll ride an Orange in all its glory, yet with sheer nimbleness that the floating dual link provide.

And regarding the N9, have u guys at @Polygonbikes redesigned the rear end of this bike? Koz once upon a time, N9 was criticized for having a flexy rear end. Have you guys stiffened 'em for more hard-charging? (At the first link, for sure.)
  • 1 0
 And sorry for spamming you guys, but why not make all the links in a more exotic material, such as one-piece magnesium, or even hi-mod carbon? Isn't it could stiffened the rear end?
  • 5 0
 @yoshiro, there are several riders riding the N9 in the Pacific North West and rear end flex has not been an issue. Kurt Sorge has been riding one and I have not heard any complaints about rear end flex. And I doubt there are many riders out there charging as hard as Sorge does ... or even Kevin Landry for that matter. www.pinkbike.com/video/392427

Magnesium or carbon links would be expensive to produce. And due to the location of the linkage on the N9 they would not increase stiffness all that much. The cost to benefit for an upgrade like this is not an economical choice. I hope this answered your question. Feel free to email info@polygonbikes.com for more information.

 The bike in the pictures is a large, I will look into the possibility of a sizing chart but it is not something that we currently offer on our website. For sizing comparing the stack and reach numbers to your current bike are usually the safest bet. As stated in the article the top tube length are a little bit short and going up a size might not be a bad idea. Shipping to Europe usually takes 7-10 days.

 The way you shred, you should probably replace it with a new beast anyways. What else are you going to do with all that excess cash?

 Hi there there is a mistake on the weight the DH9 is really light tonight at the team pit we grabbed Mick hannah spare frame to double check the weight and it's under 7lb without shock, 9lb is with the shock probably a typo mistake.
