Discover weekend adventures with the Polygon Cascade 2, a hardtail cross-country mountain bike designed for comfort and ease. Built around a lightweight but rugged AL6 alloy XC Sport frame, it features an upright geometry that offers a relaxed riding position, making it perfect for casual weekend trail rides or gravel paths.
The front suspension is handled by a SR Suntour XCE28 fork with 100 mm travel, helping smooth bumps on fire roads and light off-road terrain. Rolling on 27.5-inch wheels, the bike balances agility and stability, while the alloy double-wall rims and DELI 27.5″ × 2.1″ tyres deliver reliable grip and comfort.
The 7-speed drivetrain includes a SHIMANO ST-EF41 3×7 trigger shifter, WheelTop triple crank (42/34/24T), SHIMANO MF-TZ500 14-28T freewheel, SHIMANO Tourney RD-TY200 rear derailleur, and KMC HV-500 chain, offering smooth and intuitive gear changes on varied terrain.
Stopping power comes from Tektro MD-M280 mechanical disc brakes paired with Shimano ST-EF41 levers and 160 mm rotors—giving predictable and effective braking, even in wet conditions.
The cockpit features a 680 mm wide steel riser handlebar (8° backsweep, 31.8 mm clamp) on an alloy stem (45 mm extension), plus a steel candle-type seatpost (27.2 × 300 mm) topped with a comfortable MTB saddle—all set up to support upright comfort.
Two sizes are available, with the Medium (M) frame recommended for riders around 162–175 cm tall. Key measurements: seat-tube length around 456 mm, wheelbase roughly 1,086 mm, and standover height about 747 mm.
Care & Usage Instructions
-
Initial Assembly & Safety Check: Before first ride, ensure all bolts (stem, handlebar, seatpost, wheels) are tightened to the manufacturer’s torque settings. Confirm wheels spin freely and brake pads engage the rotor evenly.
-
Seat Height Setup: Adjust the seatpost (27.2 mm) so when seated, both feet can comfortably touch the ground for confident starts and stops.
-
Tyre Pressure: Inflate the DELI 2.1″ tyres to around 35–45 psi (2.4–3.1 bar) depending on the terrain—lower for more grip off-road, higher for smoother rides.
-
Brake Inspection: Test brake responsiveness regularly. Keep rotors and pads free of dirt and inspect for wear—replace as needed to maintain stopping performance.
-
Routine Maintenance: Wipe down after rides with a damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners. Lightly lubricate the chain and pivot points to prevent rust, especially in Malaysia’s humid climate.
-
Safety Gear & Precautions: Always use a certified helmet and consider gloves and protective eyewear. Be cautious when riding on wet or uneven surfaces—mechanical disc brakes perform better than rim brakes, but still require distance for safe stopping.
-
Storage Tips: Store the bike indoors or in a sheltered area to keep moisture from corroding steel parts like the crankset and seatpost.
