Polygon Premier 4 (2022) - Review

The Premier 4 (2022) is built around an AL6 XC Hardtail Alloy frame. The frame is strong but not too heavy for a MTB, which ensures that it can handle a lot of hard hitting from the surface. The frame is designed to be built taller from the ground up, giving larger ground clearance.The Suntour XCM Suspension fork was smooth in functioning during the test ride with a massive 12mm travel making sure that most of the vibrations of the surface are absorbed.

Shimano's Altus at the front and Acera at the rear form the drivetrain on the Polygon Premier 4 (2022). These gearing components from Shimano were mid-level MTB components and were smooth and quick in transmission during the test ride. The 2x8-Speed gear range was enough for steep climbs and quick accelerations.

The Premier 4 (2022) which I test rode came in a Matte Grey primary colour with Orange as the secondary colour for graphics and text. The sleek chain and seat stays looks elegant. The graphics were simple yet bright with a colour coded fork, saddle and rims. The lengthy handlebar and heavily treaded tires gave this Bicycle the perfect rugged MTB looks.

The Tektro HD-M275 Hydraulic Disc brakes on this Bicycle were as powerful as it can get on a mid-level hardtail MTB. During the test ride, the brakes were powerful and felt balanced to use on both wet and dry conditions.The 74mm Entity branded handlebar was lengthy and thus making it comfortable for both occasional urban rides and trail rides.

This hardtail MTB rolls on a pair of Entity Mitz 27.5” x 2.25” tires. These tires are heavily treaded with bulky treads which cover the tires evenly and rolls fast on flatter surfaces. The Entity MTB saddle is perfectly designed and is ergonomic to make sure the rider is safe and sore free on a bumpy ride.
