INDUSTRY REVIEW

"The Polygon Tambora is an impressively versatile bike!" - 99 Spokes

CARBON FRAME EFFICIENCY

The Tambora G7's lightweight carbon frame provides a stiff and responsive platform for efficient power transfer, while amble clearance for 45c tires provides ample comfort and grip on long offroad adventure

SRAM APEX DRIVETRAIN

The SRAM Apex 1x12 drivetrain offers a wide range of gears and precise shifting, making it easy to find the perfect cadence for any terrain.

SRAM APEX HYDRAULIC BRAKES

SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful and predictable stopping power, with excellent modulation for precise control in all conditions.

FLIP THE SWITCH

The Tambora G7 features a flip chip that allows you to adjust the geometry of the bike, choosing between a more stable or agile setup to match your riding style and terrain. Better yet there's even the ability to run a front derailleur for even more adaptability

CARBON WHEELS

The Tambora G7's Novatec G24 carbon wheels are lightweight and stiff, providing a responsive and efficient ride on any surface. Their tubeless-ready design pairs perfectly with the Vee Tire Co. Rail Frenzy 700x40C tires, offering a smooth, supple feel and excellent grip on both gravel and pavement.

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