from what my sources are telling me I'd be holding off buying a $1000+ bike

Seems like the bike makers have got their supply chain in order, and they're getting tonnes of bikes pre Xmas (pretty much what they ordered 6+ months ago when demand for bikes was outstripping supply.

The retailer's issue is that demand is not at 2020 / early 2021 levels so Supply > Demand

Here's an example : https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7-2e-hBeC/?utm_source=ig_web_c…
Current model Canndondales, Trek's etc at up to 20% off

  Possibly but bike manufacturers also limit the max discounts and quantities allowed.
  Either way you look at it, this is still a damn good deal.
  The Polygon's are of similar/equal quality but better priced than those brands.

    This is actually illegal behaviour in Australia. https://www.accc.gov.au/business/pricing-surcharging/setting…
    
    I hope you take this sort of thing to the ACCC wherever you become aware of it. When I hear of a manufacturer or supplier engaging in this behaviour, I move to another brand.

      Notably though you missed the point where if you do sell below the "recommended" minimum price the manufacturer is allowed to pull supply from the store.
      
      So yes, you may be allowed to sell goods at whatever price you want, however is it worth it if your supplier would threaten to withold stock from you?
      
      We had this issue with Garmin when i worked in a bike shop, they set an unofficial floor price and if you sold below this they pulled your supply. It was fair play but rough when online European stores undercut us.

        @Drakesy: Not below recommended…below cost price.
        
        "However, a supplier may withhold the supply of goods when a retailer has sold the goods at a price below cost for the purpose of attracting customers (‘loss-leader selling’)."
        
        That's a bit different from discounting below a supplier imposed RRP or 'floor price'.
        
        But yes…I get it…it's hard to prove, and no retailer wants to lose a lucrative product line.
        
        Still…it pisses me that it so obviously happens, is illegal, and nothing is ever done about it.
        
        Edit: I am mistaken…sometimes they do pull suppliers up on this:
        
        https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/fe-sports-to-pay-35000…
        
        Drop in the ocean though? I get the impression that the suppliers were silly enough to put it in writing.
        
        Drakesy on 01/09/2022 - 17:21
        
        @Banj0: Haha,
        Missed this, that's great, good to see. Agreed its a drop in the ocean though.
        
        And yes it'd always be verbal either over the phone or from the reps.

        @Binchicken22: Exactly. All the government agencies have taken the retailer/manufacturer sides, we consumers are on our own.
        
        Drakesy on 01/09/2022 - 20:10
        
        @wtfnodeal: Its not that theyve taken the retailer/manufacturer sides
        
        Apple just doesnt openly stipulate what their minimum price is, merely convey that they can and will pull it from your store if you fall below it
        
        wtfnodeal on 01/09/2022 - 20:53
        
        @Drakesy: They definitely take sides. I have heard nonsense from them such as telling me that I am responsible to lug a 65” TV (just put it into the back seat) to return to a retailer for a warranty claim despite the TV has in home warranty if I lodge a claim with the manufacturer instead.
        
        Drakesy on 01/09/2022 - 21:02
        
        @wtfnodeal: Well thats largely dependent on what route you take
        If you want to deal with the retailer then expect to hand it back to them for them to sort the warranty out.
        
        When i had an issue with my tv i went straight to the manufacturer and they sent someone out straight to my home. I purposely skipped dealing with the retailer because theyd want to see the faulty product
        
        wtfnodeal on 01/09/2022 - 21:45
        
        @Drakesy: Let’s say our PM lodges a complaint with ACCC and whatever the local authority such as Consumer Protection that a small retailer sends it a used coffee machine despite it pays for a brand new coffee machine, do you think ACCC will tell our PM that they are not interested to know and act against the small retailer?
    - wtfnodeal on 01/09/2022 - 19:06
      
      It is illegal but ACCC won’t do a thing about it. Just the same that I reported to ACCC that Amazon AU charged me the price of a brand new coffee machine but delivered a used one, they didn’t want to know or do anything about it.
      - Banj0 on 01/09/2022 - 19:31
        
        @wtfnodeal: State vs Fed kind of confuses things here. Isn't a purchase like that more of a state/territory 'Fair Trading' or equivalent dept thing? But it's Amazon though…so who the hell has oversight?!
        
        Yes…I've had some dodgy used looking stuff from Amazon. That sort of thing should only come vie their warehouse outlet. Would suck to get a coffee machine like that.

  The only manufacturer that comes close to the value for money of Polygon is Giant and that's at RRP. Another 20% off is awesome value for a great bike and I think you'd regret waiting if you were on the lookout for an entry level capable mtb.
  - boozed on 03/09/2022 - 08:44
    
    Giant's prices are basically the same as Trek's these days.
    
    The only other manufacturers that truly come close to Polygon are the other direct-to-consumer brands. Canyon, Commencal, Vitus etc., but even they had 20%+ price jumps on the current year models.
Drakesy on 01/09/2022 - 15:32

This is a decent bike at a decent price ngl.

Would jump on this if i didn't already have 2 dualies.

  I bought a mid-lower (better than k-mart, but bottom of what I'd consider trail-ready) hardtail model for my son a few years back, based on the drivetrain level vs price. It was great value, but really the frame was not designed to take the drivetrain (3x9 or something). Barely any room between the front derailleur and rear tyre at lowest gear, and consistent rub on delivery. Had to get the LBS to dish the wheel and add shims to move the crank/chain rings out slightly. His impression was that the frame was a bit old (design-wise) for the modern-ish (at the time) drivetrain used.
  
  Polygon, to their credit, covered the cost of this, but I've been a little reluctant to try another of their bikes since.
  
  It was still a decent enough bike (retired now), and served my son well, but I was never terribly impressed with the frame. I've advanced my mechanical skills over the years since (can now dish my own wheels!), and have a better idea of what to look for, but I just wouldn't really know buying one of these.
  - bulletbill88 on 01/09/2022 - 17:15

    This one has a Shimano Deore 1x10 on it. While you’d never call anything in Mountain Biking unbreakable, that drivetrain could take a significant beating before anything goes wrong.
    
    The wheels on this bike likely to be a bit heavy and slow. That’d be the big upgrade I would do.
    
    The fork and shock nothing too special but miles above what you would get on a Kmart bike (which is usually just a spring-no shock absorbing at all).
    
    And getting a dropper post on dual suspension bike at this price is amazing value. And once you have a dropper you’ll never go back.
    
    Should do a beginner for a year or two before they decide if they want to trade up to something more serious.

JoKing on 01/09/2022 - 15:37

I’m right on the cusp for the sizes - I’m 188cm tall. Better to go up or down size (L or XL)?

Been looking at getting an entry level dualie for a while. This could be my calling.

    Some say, for the more technical riding, go down. For eating up the rolling fast trails, go up. Dunno if that applies here.
    - boozed on 03/09/2022 - 08:47
      
      IMO it depends a lot more on rider ability. EWS pros size down because their bike handling is elite and the smaller frame is more manoeuvrable on the tight and twisty sections of some of the race stages. For steep and technical terrain, the larger frame can really help less experienced riders because it's more stable.
      - Banj0 on 03/09/2022 - 09:56
        
        @boozed: I am definitely not in that crowd.
        
        One LBS once put me on a small frame hardtail…it was fun to ride, but really not suitable at all for my mostly tame, and mixed riding (commutes).
        
        Really I think the guy was trying to clear floor stock. Had small and large, but no medium. Would have suited me if I was riding olympic cross country, but if I was doing that I wouldn't have been buying a mass produced bike at a LBS!

  I'd probably size up on this one. Reach is still pretty short compared to modern bikes, so the XL will give you a similar attack position feel to a modern large. Top tube is also not particularly long and it comes with quite a short stem so the cockpit overall isn't long. My 2c anyway.
  - [Deactivated] on 02/09/2022 - 12:28
    
    Your 2c feels like at least $1 mate. Good insight.

    14 days free returns, check the policy. It's more for doing some sizing and quick tests rather than e.g. using one of these mtbs at a park for the day and thrashing it, but I only did minor use on both of them so wasn't an issue.

  I bought a polygon vander last year from these guys and I've been pretty happy with it. The hearts were shitty at the start so they paid for a bike shop to tube it for me. Ended up that even the bike shop got it wrong… The derailleur was not assembled properly.. There's a little plate that needed turning around… Anyways.. Easy mistake to make while assembling in China. I fixed it myself in the end and learnt how to adjust gears properly.. sounds like I had a hard time but in the end I was happy with the responsiveness of these guys. The bike held up well when I took it to Thredbo in January! Heaps mad!

  One thing that might put you off one for casual use is that thieves know the bike is expensive purely from the rear suspension existing and your bike will probably be a target for them.

This was posted 2 years 3 months 25 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
