can't said much about polygon as I dont think anyone has one....saw the specs...entry levels components...it all depends on whether you grow to like mtb....but its good enough to start with....i thuink most of us started with a simple bike & once got hooked...went on to get better ones..maybe you can join us next time

Yup,dat'z d one.Open price RM899.

Well, with the price tag RM899 i think you shud go around other LBS to find out other brands then Polygon. Or mebbe you want to look into here "bicyclebuysell.com" for used bikes as well. Take ur time to find a suitable bike for ya!

Entry level components bascially mean that you shocks, fork, shifters, front & rear derailluer, etc are low-end .

I assume you have bought the bike?

double wall rims are naturally much stronger...rim doesnt bend easily.....its std equipemnt for most reputable mtb....a must if you do a lot of offroad, jumps, etc.

my no brand double wall rims will turn 2 yrs old this june lol....

Hybrid, for RM899 for that bike, why not go for a hardtail? Because that Polygon's rear suspension has got no adjustment at all and the parts are really basic, not really for mountain biking...more of for cycling around neighbourhood.

Consider T-bolt?? although used, but at that price it's many times better that the Polygon.

Anyway....the polygon hybrid bought is just for testing water...mebbe later on he likes roadbike le..tehehehe..

anyway HYBRID, if ya want to ride or intro ride just give us a tinkle here

let him get use to the bike 1st.....before we introduce to FRIM...esp manggo tree trail (not sure correct).....might just change his mind to get a better bike.....or change his mind to road bikes..
