United StatesPolygon Tambora G7
I just completed a 620 mile trek on the East Coast Greenway with the Tambora G7. Out or the box everything assembled well. I am 5'11'' 200 lb, the Large fit me perfectly. I did change the seat to fit my tail better and a changed the stem a little shorter, other than that everything I used was stock. I also removed the tubes and made it tubeless. I did not have any problems on my trek. The trail from Newark, NJ to Virginia Beach VA transitioned from Suburban, to urban, to paved park routes, to board walks and gravel canal trails. It road smoothly and carried all my gear with the addition of a frame bag and a rear rack. I highly recommend it for the price.

This bike is absolute beautiful beast! Received it without issues thanks to Bikesonline! The bike is fast on the road and faster on gravel! With 500 miles on it I’ve have no issues the Rival setup is money! So durable, long lasting battery and easy to tune/maintain. I’m 5’9” and got a large fits extremely well super light. Plenty of baggage connection point. Things I have changed: the seat, shorter raised stem and tires. Tires as they wore kept getting debris through the tire; tubeless now. Seat is sticky and to wide for my sit bones. I get complements all the on this bike! The one thing I have not played I with is the flip chips.
