they're really going out of the way to not give us a good look at the bike. however, from what i can tell, it is a non-offensive design for a killer price

FULL-SEND-ER (May 19, 2023 at 12:31)

they dont want you to notice the Shimano motor

Plenty of pics on their website.

The photos were taken at an open pit lithium mine.

Taken at Mt Bromo (volcano)

Seriously. I'd get one to simply keep up with my teen who seems to get faster and wants to go farther every time I hit the trails with him (he's into XC racing these days). It would not make me give up my regular bike though.

Aeyogi (May 19, 2023 at 10:09)

Wow, great prices. Well done.

Honesty I never thought much of polygon but the brand is starting to grow into me

mi-bike (May 19, 2023 at 17:38)

That sounds painful. (starting to grow on* me)

SlowMoto76 (May 19, 2023 at 10:52)

Wow! I don't need to lie to my wife about new bike cost!

zoobab2 (May 19, 2023 at 13:50)

Been there, done that :-)

Cubic202 (May 19, 2023 at 12:16)

I wonder how this compares to their other recent “E” offering the polygon collosus n8e. 150 vs 160 and 4 bar vs. 6. Is the extra weight, complexity and $$$ of the strangely spelt “Collosus” worth it?

It's about time someone invented a flip-chip that can change your wheel size! That's some next-level sh*t there!

Electrin (May 19, 2023 at 11:24)

Plenty of bikes already market their flip chip as a way to switch from full 29 to mullet. Hell, my bike even has the option to use an extended lower headset cup to switch from 29 to full 27.5

MuddyBrit (May 19, 2023 at 11:46)

@Electrin: you missed the sarcasm in my post - the phrasing in the press release made it sound like the flip chip would actually change the wheel size, so that you wouldn't even need to change out the wheel

Processtuna (May 19, 2023 at 10:43)

Crazy pricing. Wondering if these will be over 60lbs. Bought my GF the regular Siskiu and it’s a great bike but quite heavy

andrews22 (May 19, 2023 at 10:59)

My scale shows 52 lbs size Large

cormacmcdonald (May 23, 2023 at 8:22)

You know what's cheaper than this though? a bike with no motor, I dont hate them but I want them off the trails i built

dmackyaheard FL (May 19, 2023 at 11:00)

Solid price for a pretty solid build spec.

jray152 (May 19, 2023 at 12:29)

REI is gonna sell these like hotcakes in Phoenix.

Confluence-Outdoors (May 19, 2023 at 19:49)

Picture that with a 38 up front.

mayha49 FL (May 19, 2023 at 11:31)

Are Suntour forks still loud?

lucacometti (May 21, 2023 at 8:34)

Negative, been on one now for about a year and its about the same as any fox or rock shox

jokermtb FL (May 19, 2023 at 11:52)

very compelling spec's

nzandyb (May 19, 2023 at 12:24)

This price??? the emperor isn't wearing any clothes.

HeatedRotor FL (May 19, 2023 at 13:04)

are these available now?

trailtalkmtb (May 20, 2023 at 20:18)

Available for pre-order in US for early June delivery and in stock now in Australia

HeatedRotor FL (May 20, 2023 at 21:25)

@trailtalkmtb: OK, im in NZ currently and wouldnt mind getting one here

itslightoutandawaywego FL (May 19, 2023 at 16:12)

If these are the prices with motors and batteries, what are their prices for real bikes?

mcozzy (May 20, 2023 at 23:34)

Who cares. No-one is buying retro motorless bikes these days.

Come on Matt - would you ride down a mountain with a blue stripe Hans Dampf on the front? Also, the most I know about the Suntour ‘Triar’ shock is that it’s named to match my riding abilities (don’t bother, I know it’s a ‘Triair’). In fact, these are (particularly the cheaper model) candidates for lowish cost upgrades (tires, wheels, brakes, shock, forks - ideal if you’ve got some hanging in the shed) in the way I’ve built up mountain bike frames, still way cheaper than a overpriced ‘premium’ model from a boutique brand and the geo looks ok for a trail bike. As ever though, can Pinkbike comments riders hit the trails with the shame of a budget brand name on the downtube?

Prowler561 (Jun 7, 2023 at 12:15)

Somebody's not happy their elitist dentist bike just got outshone by a bike that costs less than a third made by a brand that is really good for the average consumer. As far as I can tell everything on the t7e is great, especially for 4100 USD. Suntour is some of the best $/Performance out there

is there that big of a demand for these mopeds that every brand has to make one. you cant even use them on most places.

Offrhodes FL (May 19, 2023 at 10:15)

Yes.

TannerValhouli (May 19, 2023 at 10:54)

Not sure where you are in America where you can’t use em. Literally everywhere I’ve been on the east and west coast has no rules preventing them (and for places that do, how are they gonna catch you?)

wcasson (May 19, 2023 at 11:41) (Below Threshold)

@TannerValhouli: Colorado front range apparently has a lot of trails that are no e-bike allowed. I do not know from experience, but this is word of mouth from my buddy that would LOVE to get an e-bike but can't ride it anywhere within an hour of Denver. Again...this is alleged. Not sure if it's totally true.

wcasson (May 19, 2023 at 11:47)

Dude, you live in MN where it is flat AF. The rest of us with actual elevation gain (and east coast JANK) might enjoy having some assistance to the top of the mountain.

Medacus (May 19, 2023 at 15:21)

You maybe can't use them in most places in the USofA but in the rest of the world I'm afraid to have to tell you that it is a very different story.
