Final verdict on this bike, this bike for the price it is currently at of $4800 usd, is the best value for money on a bike I have ever seen being sold as new. The group set and the handlebar literally cost that price alone and to throw in a frame that is extremely underrated, it would be hard bike to not buy if this was your budget. At the end of the day, if I spent $4800 for this bike to keep for a long time i would be extremely happy with the outcome of the purchase, and it also gives you a nice build kit for future bikes to come
I like this new format that you're doing for bike reviews. For the price this bike is a bargain and now in consideration for my next bike. Thanks bruh 🤙!
Seems like a crazy good deal/value considering it's full dura ace. If you spent another $1000 on something like some Winspace wheels, you'd have a super solid build overall.
yea but those wheels handled fast group rides very easily I do not know about climbing because they are very tankish but for flats I was happy with performance
:)) those are some kind words heading into the weekend, now I can feel good about chilen on the couch this weekend lol, wind advisory all weekend 40mph guests and rain
Greetings from Indonesia, where Polygons are made. They have a super hi-tech factory here and make some terrific budget models too. Almost unbeatable value bikes if you're in Asia and they sell a lot by mail order to Australia.. The alloy frames that they make are state-of-the-art hydroformed and look like carbon frames with their huge tubes.
Sounds like your FD is rubbing when you put the power down. I had the same issue but managed to tune it so it didn’t happen. Killer deal though! Nice video! Thanks for all the great info in this and all your other vids
That's a cool bar tape, which one it is?.. by the way That's a really good review.. I know it takes time to produce a video like that, but that's a high quality review...good job 👌
can you get your hands on a CUBE Agree C62 SLT? Probably not, but: 5700€ before any deals, full Dura Ace, nice carbon wheel set. Officially it is their endurance model, but has some aero shapes too.
I think the Hunt 54s I have on my current bike would be a great upgrade for this. Something like this is so tempting for my next bike. I'm not a pro so I don't need the other fancy stuff that make other bikes 3x as much.
for sure, this bike is amazing and the price of it is just a plus, but honestly the wheels as is are not bad, yes they are heavy but for aero reasons they work so good
I ride a 56cm in Scott and Spesh and they fit great. The numbers tell me I need an XL but this reviewer rode a Large and he’s 6-foot like me. I wonder if the Polygon geometry numbers are wrong?
me honestly would not do this at all, I was so turned off to all these bikes before youtube but honestly being in this position and getting to try these bikes and ride them I am blown away by these prices
Grant - how tall are you / inseam? I think a large would fit me as well, but the sizing listed on their website seems to suggest an XL for me, I am 6' 2" and I think the large would be my size judging over the standover height.
@@GCPerformance18 Thanks mate, I actually pulled the trigger on a A9X. I'm 5"7' and my current bike is 50cm, which has always felt cramped. Worked with the guys at Bikes Online, who really knew their stuff, and we landed on a Medium. I'll let you know if it was the right choice.
I don't get why every roadie is not on GP5000 tires... I mean these are the ultimate... class leading speed, reasonably light, and SUPREME puncture resistance. What more can any other tire offer??
no that is the duraace wheels model, if you click the link and go to the bike, and choose wheels entity model, they are 4800 alot of people had issues with this
Yea I know I am sorry I swapped cranks back to the stock crank before the video at my house so it would be to spec for the video and the front der needed adjustment to my awareness
@@marcinstyle85 no so what you have to do when you click on th ebike you change the wheels to entity, alot of people are just leaving the bike with the duracae wheels, but if you swap the wheel choice to entity it is 4800

Checked and bike is at $6500
The cinematography, production and choice of filming location for this video is on point. I was enchanted.
Well thank you very much. I had fun filming it.
Best Asian Continental Team , Team Terengganu Polygon Cycling Team ( Team TSG ) from Malaysia 🇲🇾 using this bike !!
Got the A8X and no complaints about it. It's an amazing bike. Kudos to Polygon.
Production quality off the charts GC!!! Great work on this review. Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much I wanted to do something more then just my standard review
This is your most highly produced video, keep up the good work👍
Means so much to me thank you!!!
GC Performance started the with S Works this Specialize that. Now he is giving the small brands their due. I am liking these and the Van Rysel bikes.
I mean I am still a huge advocate for sworks bikes and love them but I feel like there is a customer out there for every bike
I like this new format that you're doing for bike reviews. For the price this bike is a bargain and now in consideration for my next bike. Thanks bruh 🤙!
thanks os much for checking the video out, I like to switch things up every once in a while
Wow, drone shots!!! Great video and nice bike for the money. Only thing I would change is the saddle.
:) means so much that you enjoyed it
Great video GC!
Love to see the bikes being ridden and love the aerial drone footage. Great work buddy!!
👍🏼🇦🇺
Thank you very much
Diggin it... love seeing you kitted up and hitting the road.

Thanks for making this! Great video!
Good stuff with this style of video ! The Audio is great also.
Love the use of the drone!
Thanks! 👍
Amazing deal. Paint job looks great. Review production quality is awesome. Nice work.
that mneans so much thank you very very much

Or how about Craft Racing wheelset?
yea but those wheels handled fast group rides very easily I do not know about climbing because they are very tankish but for flats I was happy with performance
Great review and production.
Glad you liked it! thank you for watching

Crazy price - In a good way. Video production has come a long way.
Thank you so much, this is not everytime but sometimes I like to try and change it up when my friend can help me
Thermonuclear Watt Bombs GC!! Looking fit my man ps. so much bike at the price point
hahaha Thanks chris, hopefully one day I get to ride with you guys!!
Sounds like your FD is rubbing when you put the power down. I had the same issue but managed to tune it so it didn’t happen. Killer deal though! Nice video! Thanks for all the great info in this and all your other vids
Yea this was because I swapped cranks right before the video shoot to show everything original
My $400 aluminium bike does that, I'm yet to ride a carbon frame where the seat post tube was that flexible
That's a cool bar tape, which one it is?.. by the way That's a really good review.. I know it takes time to produce a video like that, but that's a high quality review...good job 👌
I have a friend who helped me do everything, he is a pro and I couldnt have done it without him!!! that bar tape is burgh
great review, this bike fits you like a glove! great job sir!
thank you so much I really enjoy it
Steller production quality! Where were you riding? The location doesn't look familiar. Pompano Airport?
this was camino trail by glades and 2nd ave, it goes from fau to linton and it is away from all cars, very nice trail

the cube bikes are hard to get over here because of themm being sold only in europe

Managed to snag a Polygon Strattos s8d for black Friday. Incredibly happy with my purchase.
thats awesome
Oh snap. Somebody got a videographer!
yea for this video I wanted to do something different
The only bad thing about them is that the largest size they come in is a 56. I have to have a 58.
I think they have 58 as well
I ride a 56cm in Scott and Spesh and they fit great. The numbers tell me I need an XL but this reviewer rode a Large and he’s 6-foot like me. I wonder if the Polygon geometry numbers are wrong?
Love you Danny!
danny is the man
Love you Brian *)))
Love the bartape on this - did the bike come with it or can you buy it online?
the tape is called burgh look them up, it does not come with it
Oml I feel like I’m watching gcn videos except it’s you 😂
well thank you for that, I really tried with this one lol
Thanks for sharing, comfort is king ride all day.
you are very welcome and thanks for watching
I wonder how many people wouldn’t think of buying a polygon 8-9 year ago. Today they’d be all over it. I would be one of them!!
me honestly would not do this at all, I was so turned off to all these bikes before youtube but honestly being in this position and getting to try these bikes and ride them I am blown away by these prices
Awesome,wouldn't mind having that setup with just Shimano 105 mechanical.💯👌🏻
this bike is a super amazing bike
My A9x came with an oval saddle rail clamp as an extra so I'm running an S-Works Romin mirror
very nice, I thought mine would as well but for some reason I could not find mine
As a big boy riding tan wall clincher tires.
What combo are you running personally?
Apologies, just heard 😅
hahah no problem, I am running 700x30 I have these tires on two bikes with tpu tubes and they work great
Have you lost a few lbs bro? Looking slimner!
thank you so much!!! i am trying too lol, that day I did a solid core class with the wife and trying to eat a little better
Grant - how tall are you / inseam? I think a large would fit me as well, but the sizing listed on their website seems to suggest an XL for me, I am 6' 2" and I think the large would be my size judging over the standover height.
I am 6 feet tall, I think you might fit on ere as well because the seatpost is barly sticking out on this bike
I know it’s been 4 months but if you’re still interested go with the XL
Thanks, yep I did, worked out nicely! Thank you!
pro production
Means so much to me I am glad you enjoyed
How does it compare to the winspace or other custom bike builds?
this video is hilarious 🎉
tank youuu
That isn't a Dura Ace chain. The pins aren't hollow.
yes I am sorry the chain is ultegra my fault
Polygon is a bicycle brand from Indonesia. It is located in Surabaya, East Java.
pabriknya di sidoarjo ya?
Norak
I like that kit
thank you!!!! im gonna try the new ones I got for the next video
Do you puncture often with tubolitos?
I'm running the 'ride now' TPU tubes. No more punctures than normal tubes. Very very rare or unlucky.
no I do not, I have those tubes on 3 bikes of mine now and i have no flatted once with them yet
How tall are you, and basic personal specs?
6 feet flat

Any idea when this goes back down to $4800? It’s back to 5000 on bikes online?
If you are 6-foot, what size did you ride in this video?
this was a large I loved it
How tall are you? Does L fit you well?
im 6 foot it fits perfect
I don't get why every roadie is not on GP5000 tires... I mean these are the ultimate... class leading speed, reasonably light, and SUPREME puncture resistance. What more can any other tire offer??
I mean to be honest right now in this year the vittoria corsa pro has had more wins in the big name races then any other tire this year
US$7,099.00
no that is the duraace wheels model, if you click the link and go to the bike, and choose wheels entity model, they are 4800 alot of people had issues with this
Is this bike beginner friendly?
yes very much so alotg of room to grow too
Hi ! Im 192. cm what my size? Xl ? Pls help me ! :D
yea that would work
Noisy bike? It sounds like it to me! Great deal though!
Yea I know I am sorry I swapped cranks back to the stock crank before the video at my house so it would be to spec for the video and the front der needed adjustment to my awareness
Turn those hoods in more bro it'll make you faster 🤣
lmfaoo
Looks like a really nice bike path you chose to do the review. DA bike for $4500 seems like a huge bargain.
This bike with DA cost $7000

It's $6500 with the entity wheels
Look at that title in metric!
hahahaha I figured it would appeal to more larger audience
Doora-Ace. Lol

just found the receipt on my dresser. 2019, used 2017 Crux Expert 1x with SRAM Force. Guess how much I paid......$1600! it was only 2 years old!
Schwalbe, not schwable, not schwalbee. Shhhwalbe 😅

Somebody please clean this pair of sunglasses. As a user of prescription glasses i just can't get over it xD
I clean them and then they just get dirty again lol
Lost me at 6k
That’s a great deal
Let’s be honest, no one ever paid 600 bucks for this handlebar😂😂
Lookin like the typical Mennonite farmer cyclist
