Description

POLYGON QUALITY

So, you're new to mountain biking and want a high-value bike with progressive modern geometry perfect for local XC trails, racing or multi-day adventures? The C5 is your ticket to ride with a capable and lightweight carbon frame that will take you anywhere you want to go.

GEOMETRY

The C5s' sporty angles, tapered headtube, and stable chainstays make for better acceleration and steady handling. Ideal for fire trails, local single track and even the odd multi-day adventure. It features a 67° head tube and 73° seat tube angles, and 425-435mm chain stays for fast and snappy handling.

ACX CARBON

ACX carbon fibre is light, stiff, and strong. Polygon uses a blend of Toray T700 and High Modulus M series carbon, resulting in the maximization of strength and stiffness.

FOX FORK

Fox has created a super stiff chassis in a 120mm package and is now the benchmark for lightweight cross-country forks. It offers high performance, adjustability and improved damper performance.

SLX 12-SPEED

The Shimano SLX drivetrain is paired with an 11-51T cassette, giving you a +500% gear ratio to get up and down the mountain with ease.

Assembly

Your bike needs minor assembly before riding; use the tools and videos included.

As a guide, it'll take 10-40min depending on whether you're an experienced bike assembler or have little to no mechanical experience.

Side Note: Your cables will stretch during the initial bed-in period and must be adjusted by an experienced mechanic around 150km of riding.
