Duane_Bosch Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Shu. I prefer the Marin. Plus the brand has WAY more history. I thought both were just complicated single pivots until i saw the vid on the polygon. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Bizkit031 2

Headshot Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 I am a big fan of the Pole and Geometron trend in bikes. I just wish it was easier to test ride bikes like this here. Going from a short bike to a longer one made a huge difference to my comfort and control on the bike. I recon these babies take it to the next level.
NicoBoshoff Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Yip, Pole looks like the real deal. That build of his weighs almost 17kg though but he still rode big mountain days on it. Not sure that's ideal, but as he said, he built it up as a mini-DH sled so one could shed 3kg easy without all the puncture protection, DH tyres, coil shock and alloy everywhere.
