HOW DOES POLYGON DO IT?
IT'S SIMPLE
By cranking out over ONE MILLION BIKES
and investing in production equipment, Polygon is not only able to drive down costs by increasing efficiencies, but they’re able to purchase brand name components in bulk, driving down the prices even further. It’s a win-win.
THE PROCESS
DIRECT TO CONSUMER model
By removing the middleman, Polygon is able to
sell directly to you, the mad frother. By
skipping this step, the bikes come into our warehouse and then
right to your front door - trail-ready.
Polygon invests in TECHNOLOGY
For every category of bike, Polygon studies the target rider and
creates technology that offers the best performance and value.
Because of their continuous improvement, it enables Polygon to be
at the forefront of technological trends.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
ACXCARBON
For every category of bike, Polygon studies the target
rider and creates technology that offers the best
performance and value as possible. Because of their
continuous improvement in technology, it enables Polygon
to be at the leading edge of current trends.
ALXALLOY
Aluminum has been the go to material for bicycles since
the late 90's. Polygon uses an aluminum blend that is
lighter and more durable than our competitors. Starting
with 6061 triple butted tubing and heat treated for
strength and durability, ALX frames are built to last
the test of time.
AL6ALLOY
When it comes building bicycles, compromise is not in
our vocabulary. Our AL6 tubing goes through a strict
quality control process long before we start the frame
building process. The quality control process does not
stop there once a frame is constructed, impact testing
ensures that we have built the best product possible.
UCIPTIS-HELS-RD
Frames and forks displaying the UCI label have been
inspected, tested and approved for use in UCI sanctioned
events. The UCI label assures that the original
purchaser and future owners that all technical
parameters of the frame and fork are in accordance with
current UCI regulations and standards.
HYDROFORMED
Hydroforming is another way to shape aluminum into
lightweight, structurally stiff and strong pieces.
Hydraulic pumps inject fluid at very high pressure
inside aluminum tubes until they take the shape of the
mold they are placed in. With hydroforming process,
Polygon can build a stronger and more lightweight frame.
ETERNAL COAT TECH
Eternal Coat Tech provides more durable and more
resistant color finish. Our newest painting technology
gives more protection to chipping, scratching, facing
and wearing than other finishes.
PRESS FIT
Press fit bottom brackets allow bike designers to
increase the width of the bottom bracket without
increasing the bike’s chain line. A wider bottom bracket
shell improves stiffness and allows for a larger bottom
bracket bearing.
FS
Our newest platform to make the suspension as
independent as possible. It separates the rear wheel
movement and the suspension behavior, to get a highly
sensitive ride whether through small bumps or any
technical terrains without sacrificing the suspension
progressiveness.
FAUX.S
Polygon has taken the Faux Bar suspension platform and
optimized it for our bikes. The FAUX.S bikes are built
with a longer stroke shock that allows the rear wheel to
track better when the trail gets rough. Polymer bushings
and shorter linkage reduces the maintenance required to
keep your bike on the trail.
ONE PIECE LINKAGE
A one piece linkage increases stiffness and decreases
weight. Being efficient and effective is what one-piece
linkage is all about.
ADG
Adjustable geometry is something that trickled down from
our race teams. Having the ability to make small changes
to the bike's geometry can make a huge difference when
chasing the clock. Polygon achieves ADG with the use of
a flip chip system that will allow riders to make the
small changes necessary to perform at a higher level.
TAPERED HEADTUBE
A tapered head tube consists of a large 1.5" base that
tapers up to an 1-1/8". A tapered head tube allows for a
better weld between the head tube, the top tube and the
down tube; this makes the frame stiffer and more
durable. A tapered head tube also increases the
interface between the frame and the steer tube.
