front fork is kashima
thinking upgrading the rear to kashima...
it look better and RP23 should be a better option..
i was thinking of upgrading to Blur LT...but i worry it affect my climbing speed...that is why i stick to Superlight... smile.gif

i wouldn't go superlight that frame just looks flimsy .why superlight?....but instead will look at giant anthem or specialized..climbing speed sure good.

But the Fox I would say is entry level ...(correct me if Im wrong here guys)...Its an old RL model ...doubt its 15QR too
Looking at the specs they cut down the cost through the brakes ...and possibly the wheels ....
Is it frames head tube tapered?

If you really want Carbon ...then u can give it a try la ...

But just remember ...not all Carbon frame are the same ...

I'd choose this over XTC...

My doubt will be Polygon + carbon is something that I wouldn't wan to be the guinea pig.

At 4k, and the components are all quite decent.
You gonna use this for XC. So, having extreme good brakes not not be so great. Wheelsets... again... this and XT what the diff?

Overall, it looks good. He! He! He!

Seriously, if you're getting that Polygon IMHO it's best to ride it as it is. Most of the stuffs on there is heavy as fook. No point to topup money just to get Deores. Save up for some serious monies and go for really light stuffs.

If the frame is more than 1.3kg, IMHO it's not worthy to buy it in the 1st place. A proper aluminium 'race geometry' XTC is at 1.4~1.5kgs. A friend that rides his XTC everywhere except doing jumps and it's holding up fine. He does drops though.

Polygon carbon is still a polygon.
I'll take XTC over this.

The bike does look very cool though.
