Polygon is an International Bicycle brand manufactured in Indonesia. They are known for Bicycles with performance focused components with a value for money price tag. Strattos is Polygon’s range of Road Bicycles. We got the opportunity to test ride the Polygon Strattos S5 (2022) and here is what we thought.
Weight: 9.7kgs
Usage: Fitness/Endurance/Racing
The Strattos S5 (2022) is built on a ALX 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 well suited for both flat out speeds and tiresome hill climbs. This lightweight frame is evident with its responsive behavior on quick accelerations.
The tapered Carbon fork is super-light which immensely helps in reducing the overall weight of the Bicycle.
This Road Bicycle from Polygon which we test rode came in a full White frame with a Light Green and Purple as the secondary colours. The creamy shade of Gloss White on this frame was unique and looked refreshing. The Internal cable routing for the gears made sure the Bicycle looked neat.
The Strattos S5 is equipped with Shimano’s 105 groupset at the front and rear as derailleurs. This 105 groupset has some similar characteristics as its bigger counterparts in terms of design and build. The shifting was quick and responsive during the test ride with no evident lag.
The Strattos S5 follows the pattern of having a complete groupset to handle not just the gears but the brakes as well. The Shimano 105 BR-R7000 Road Caliper brakes were ideal for stopping on both dry and wet tarmac.
The Entity Sport drop handlebar on this Bicycle was comfortable on both the hoods and drops. The bar tape was grippy which is ideal in case your hands are wet or if you are wearing gloves.
The Strattos S5 rolls on a pair of Kenda 700x28C road tires which were perfect for both racing and climbing. The rubber compounds were strong which makes them last longer, thus making them value for money.
The Entity stock Saddle was designed ergonomically for an Endurance Road Bicycle which makes sure the rider can be seated for long hours without experiencing any soreness.
This Road Bicycle has endurance focused frame geometry, making it comfortable for long rides. The lightweight frame under 10kgs helps on climbs. The 2x11-Speed full Shimano 105 drivetrain was smooth and precise in shifting. The internal gear cable routing helps with increasing the life of the cable and also makes it look neater. The gloss white paint job with minimal secondary colours was unique and immensely enhanced the aesthetics. Priced at Rs.1,25,990(as on 12th January 2022) the Polygon Strattos S5 (2022) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Road Bicycle for long endurance rides and for amateur racing as well.
