FRAME AND FEATURES

Polygon uses a 6061 ALX hydroformed and triple-butted aluminum frame on the Collosus lineup. Internal cable routing is secured at the ports to help prevent rattle, keeping this alloy steed looking clean. The derailleur cable leaves the front triangle, entering the driveside chainstay before exiting just before the rear axle. On the non-driveside, the brake hose is left exposed but secured and tucked nicely behind the chainstay, maintaining the clean aesthetic Polygon was going for.

The N7 also has downtube frame protection features, with a shuttle pad near the headtube and a bash guard near the bottom bracket. The chainstay has a guard to protect the tubing and keep chain rattle on the quieter side. Frames come in four sizes, from small to X-large, and the color is velvet cake red.

SUSPENSION

For the Collosus, Polygon switched things up from the suspension platform found on their Siskiu bikes. Independent Floating Suspension (IFS) is Polygon’s six-bar suspension design, found on these big rigs. Predictability is the goal for IFS as the N7 goes through all 170mm of its travel while also focusing on pedal and braking forces, pedaling efficiency, and wheel path control.

GEOMETRY

A slack 63.5° headtube is paired with a reasonably upright 77° seat tube to keep the rider in a comfortable pedaling position. The N7 has a BB height of 353mm, with a drop of 27mm, and chainstays are consistent across all sizes at a compact 435mm for its 29” wheel.

Reach increases a steady 20mm across frame sizes, starting at 440mm on a size small and topping off at an even 500mm on an X-large. Our size large on test has a reach of 480mm. The wheelbase on a large is 1266mm. Frame Stack jumps up from 621.9mm on a small to 639.8mm on the X-large, with our size large’s stack measuring 634.1mm.
