Polygon has added the new Strattos C to its road bikes line-up, with the new endurance model said to blend a responsive ride with all-day comfort. The Strattos C range starts from $2,899 / €3,299 / AU$2,899, appearing to offer the keen value for money we've come to expect from the brand.
The brand says the Strattos C uses uniquely shaped seatstays that are tuned to absorb road vibrations and provide all-road compliance without sacrificing critical stiffness.
All the bikes in the range feature electronic shifting, with the bottom-rung C7 model featuring Shimano 105 Di2 and the top-spec C9 using SRAM’s Force AXS.
Prices start at $2,899 / €3,299 / AU$2,899 for the C7 model, with the C8 priced at $3,399 / €3,799 / AU$3,399, and the range-topping C9 at $4,499 / €4,499 / AU$4,499.
The C7 comes with carbon wheels and Di2 shifting.
All-road ambitions
The Strattos C features a full carbon fibre frame and the uniquely shaped seatstays for enhanced compliance, and can accommodate 34c tyres for those venturing on rough roads.
Polygon says the Strattos C has an optimised stack height that delivers a significantly more upright riding position than the rest of its road line-up.
This is said to reduce strain on your back and shoulders on longer rides.
The frame also features SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger, meaning it is compatible with SRAM's latest Transmission groupsets.
Up front, there’s an integrated LINC carbon cockpit with internally routed cables, keeping things tidy.
The brand’s Alpha Carbon wheels are used on the top-spec model, which Polygon says are designed to balance performance and comfort.
The other bikes in the range use Polygon’s WR4 Disc wheels, which are made from carbon fibre and feature tubeless rims.
