Polygon Strattos S2 (2022) - Review

The Strattos S2 (2022) is built on an ALX Performance Road full Alloy frame. The frame geometry is endurance focused and can be safely termed as an all-rounder as the riding posture on the hoods and drops are ideal for both flat out speeds and tiresome hill climbs. The tapered carbon fork is super-light which helps immensely in reducing the overall weight of the Bicycle.

The Strattos S2 (2022) is equipped with Shimano Claris at the front and rear as derailleurs. Claris is the entry-level groupset in Shimano's road component line-up. The shifting was quick and responsive during the test ride. The Claris 2x8-Speed paddle shifters are easy and smooth in use.

This Road Bicycle from Polygon which I test rode came in a full Sky Blue frame with Red as the secondary colour. The gloss finish paint job quality was smooth and bright red graphics enhanced the looks. The internal cable routing for the gears made sure the Bicycle looked neat and also increases the life of the cables.

The Polygon Strattos S2 (2022)'s stopping power is handled by Tektro R-315 standard Road Caliper brakes. The dual pivots provide light, comfortable performance when stopping on both dry and wet roads.The Entity Sport Alloy drop handlebar on this Bicycle was comfortable on the hoods and drops. The bar tape was grippy even with wet hands and gloves. The 48-51cm frame sizes comes with a 4mm handlebar and the 54-6cm frame sizes comes with a 42mm handlebar.

The Kenda 7x28C Road tires were perfect for racing and climbing on smooth tarmacs. The rubber compounds were strong and does give a long life, thus making it value for money.The Entity stock saddle is designed ergonomically for an Endurance Road Bicycle to make sure the rider can be seated for long hours without experiencing any soreness.
