Polygon Strattos S2 (2023) - Review

The Strattos S2 (2023) is built on an ALX Performance Road full Alloy frame. The frame geometry is endurance focused and can be safely termed an all-rounder as the riding posture on the hoods and drops are suited for both flat out speeds and tiresome hill climbs.The tapered Carbon fork is super-light and helps in reducing the overall weight of the Bicycle.

The Strattos S2 (2023) is equipped with a 16-Speed Shimano Claris groupset at the front and rear as derailleurs. Claris is the beginning 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 usage.

This Road Bicycle from Polygon which we test rode came in a full Red frame. The gloss finish paint job was smooth and the bright Red graphics enhanced the aesthetic appeal. Internal cable routing for the gears made sure the Bicycle looked neat and also increases the life of the cables.

The Polygon Strattos S2 (2023)'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 come with a 4mm handlebar and the 54-6cm frame sizes come with a 42mm handlebar.

The Kenda 7x28C road tires were perfect for Endurance Rides as well as for climbing. The rubber compounds were strong and does give a long life, thus making it value for money.The Entity stock Saddle was designed ergonomically to make sure the rider can be seated for long hours without experiencing any soreness.
