Introduction to Polygon Road Bike
Polygon Group is a bike manufacturer from Indonesia that has been building bikes since 1989. For over 30 years, Polygon has been collaborating with industrial designers, engineers, innovative thinkers, and also professional cyclists based in Asia, Europe, and North America with the mission to design, build and manufacture world-class bikes.
Nowadays, Polygon bikes have gained a certain level of trust from many pro-riders as their products are proven to be high in quality with an affordable price and, most importantly, provide the utmost comfort during the ride. Of course, the Polygon bike is not only reliable for pro-riders but also very welcoming for beginners.
Generally, Polygon road bikes come in two categories, the performance bike (also known as the racing bike) and the all-rounder bike. The frameset of the Polygon road bike is manufactured with a UCI-approved design. The material used to build the Polygon road bike is the lightweight ACX carbon fiber, ALX aluminum alloy, or a combination of both.
For the performance road bike, Polygon is coming with the Strattos Disc Brake series, while for the all-rounder road bike, they have the Polygon Strattos Series. But today, we will not be writing the whole Polygon road bike reviews for all types of bikes. Instead, we will be focusing on giving information about Polygon Strattos S7D 2022 review. Keep scrolling so you won’t miss the critical part.
Polygon Strattos S7D Review
The Polygon Strattos S7D is designed with road bike geometry, targeted to boost the speed so riders can drive faster over smooth surfaces. While the Polygon Strattos S5 is manufactured with an ALX alloy frame with an ACX carbon fiber fork, Polygon Strattos S7D comes with an advanced design where the frameset is built around the lightweight ACX carbon entirely. Here are the more detailed specifications of the Strattos S7D:
Bike Frame
Polygon Strattos S7D is built with a lightweight and durable ACX carbon fiber frame and fork that has surpassed the UCI standard. The frame shape is designed to slice through the air and ride faster.
Additionally, Strattos S7D comes with a seat clamp that is integrated with the top tube, providing riders with comfortable seating and making the bike more aerodynamic. The downtube of Polygon Strattos S7D is 16% stiffer to offer pedaling efficiency that allows riders to ride effortlessly faster.
Strattos S7D takes internal routing to another level by directly entering the frame below the bars resulting in a clean and stylish look with lesser drag.
Wheel Size
One of the scariest nightmares for outdoor riders is getting a flat bike tire in the middle of the ride. But with Strattos S7D, you can be less worried because this bike is equipped with the Entity tubeless-ready rim or wheel set and alloy hub, so you can alter your bike tire to tubeless whenever you want. Polygon Strattos S7D rolls with PERFORMANCE TIRE 700x28c tire for a smoother ride with lower rolling resistance.
Groupset
The Polygon Strattos S7D uses the Shimano 105 2×11-speed groupset that offers reliable pro-level shifting at an entry-level value. The great gearing rate can accommodate the riders’ need for riding over smooth paved roads or mixed surfaces. The 50/34-T crankset and 11/30 cassette maximize the pedaling performance, resulting in a swifter ride over a flat surface while reducing stress during the uphill ride.
Braking System
Unlike the Polygon S7 Disc 2020, which uses TRP hydraulic disc brakes with additional TPR rotors, the new performance or racing road bike Polygon S7D has equipped with Shimano 105 R7000 hydraulic disc brakes that stops with a predictable, powerful, and linear braking curve.
Handlebar
Polygon Strattos S7D is manufactured with the Entity Xpert alloy with a width of around 400mm for XS to S-size road bikes, about 420mm for L to M-sized road bikes, and approximately 440mm for road bikes in XL to XXL-sized. The reach of the handlebar is around 70mm.
