Hi everyone,
I’m currently deciding between two bikes and would appreciate feedback, especially from Polygon owners.
Polygon Strattos S7D (red) – 1599$
Polygon Strattos 7 2026 (black/gold) – 1799$
From what I understand:
S7D is under the “S Carbon” line (more aggressive/race-leaning geometry?)
Strattos 7 is part of the standard Strattos endurance line (more relaxed geometry?)
My riding style:
Mostly solo rides(sometimes group rides)
Distance: usually 40–100 km, planning to go longer
I like riding at a steady fast pace but not sprint-heavy
I want something I can use comfortably for the next 5 years
What I’m trying to decide:
Is the S7D too aggressive for long solo rides over time?
Does the Strattos 7 feel significantly more comfortable on longer rides?
Any regrets choosing one over the other after 1–2+ years?
Other notes:
Both have Shimano 105 12-speed, so I assume performance is similar
I’m okay upgrading wheels later if needed
Would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has ridden either (or both). Thanks!
