After two months and 2,197km of riding, I took some time to sit down with the Polygon Helios A9X review bike to offer a few observations about what it's like. In summary: great! Surprisingly good in fact.
One of the key selling points of this $8,999 bike (complete with a R9200 12-speed Shimano Dura-Ace groupset and power meter) is the price. You get a high spec for your money. But that's not the only thing – it's actually an excellent bike to ride with good handling traits.
This is a long, impromptu piece to camera and I try to cover off some of the highlights of a bike that I've really come to like.
