Polygon has upgraded the Premier 5 frame to a lighter weight, hydroformed Alutech Sport XC frame which was also used in the previous years higher-spec Xtrada models. A new curved and hydroformed aluminum top tube reduces weight and gives the bike a more refined presence.

The gear cables are now routed inside the frame and feature end-to-end outer cables, this makes the Premier frame more appealing to the eye and also dramatically reduces the servicing period as gear cables are protected from the elements. Additionally, the frame features rack mounts which allow you to easily attach racks or a baby seat.

The Suntour XCM fork features oversized stanchions and 120mm of damped travel. When the trail or road smooths out, there is also a new Hydraulic Speed Lockout lever to stop the fork from compressing and ensures the bike can also perform as an efficient commuter.

Beautifully balancing performance and durability, the Polygon Premier 5 uses a Shimano Acera drivetrain to deliver 2x9-Speed, capable of tackling even the steepest of hills. A direct-mount derailleur provides added strength protecting the derailleur from bending if hit by a rock or stump on the trail. Upgraded Tektro Hydraulic disc brakes provide industry-leading braking power, especially in wet and muddy conditions. Completing this bike, the Premier 5 rolls on a set of alloy double-wall rims with premium branded Shimano alloy hubs.

It’s this combination of all of these durable components that ensure the bike remains a true performer for years to come, whether it’s on rough trails, or for those trips down to the park or beach.
