The Polygon Heist X2 is one the most popular hybrid bikes and has been used by thousands of riders around the world ranging from weekend rides around the local fire trails to long distance touring. Now, in its 6th generation, the Polygon Heist X2 continues to embrace its adventurous spirit heritage with a series of improvements designed to help you explore the outdoors on two wheels.
This new version now comes equipped with semi-knobby tires and an improved front suspension fork boosting its light off-road credibility and improving rider comfort. The Suntour NEX is a trekking specific suspension fork. The travel is kept to an optimum 63mm, and the lowers are made from magnesium all engineered to keep the fork weight to a minimum. The new WTB Riddler Tire 700 x 45c tires are ideal for riders who are looking for a commuting bike on weekdays but also want to extend their riding terrain to rail trails, hard pack dirt roads or even on local bush fire roads.
Powering this machine is a Shimano Acera/ Altus drivetrain. To keep things in control, the Heist X2 comes equipped with Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes, delivering unprecedented stopping power and modulation on a bike at this price point. Hydraulic disc brakes are an amazing upgrade to have on any bike as it removes the need to pull hard on the brake levers to achieve the desired braking power. Maximum power is easily controlled with minimal input at the levers ‘ allowing you to focus on the road ahead rather than worrying about whether you are going to stop in time or potentially lock up the wheels.
Finishing off the Polygon Heist X2 is a suite of quality and lightweight Entity alloy bars, stem and seat post. The wheels are double wall alloy rims which provide added strength and durability. The gear cables now run inside the frame for a clean look and pedals are included with the bike.
