LIGHT. STIFF. FOCUSED.
The Syncline DR platform is built around a full-carbon frame engineered for high torsional stiffness and efficient power transfer. Its single-pivot design with a flex-stay rear triangle and compact rear centre gives immediate, predictable trail feedback—rewarding precision, cadence, and rider input over excess suspension softness.
CONTROLLED EFFICIENCY
Polygon’s contemporary XC geometry blends a 67.5° head angle, 75° seat angle, and 440 mm chainstay with 120 / 110 mm of balanced travel. The chassis rides high in its stroke for pedalling efficiency yet stays active across roots and chatter, maintaining traction through rough climbs and off-camber turns—calm, composed, and predictably fast.
RACE-READY RELIABILITY
Every Syncline DR frame uses service-friendly standards: a BSA 73 mm threaded bottom bracket, Boost 148 mm rear spacing, and a UDH hanger for straightforward drivetrain swaps. Quiet internal routing and sealed pivot hardware reduce maintenance, keeping performance consistent through full-season race mileage.
SPEC HIGHLIGHTS
The DR8 pairs Fox 34 SL Performance Elite and Float SL Performance Elite suspension with a dual remote lockout for instant efficiency on climbs and sprints. Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, XT brakes, and Novatec M30 carbon wheels with Maxxis Rekon Race tires deliver crisp, performance-focused handling for racers pushing harder every ride.

Your bike needs minor assembly before riding; use the tools and videos included.
As a guide, it'll take 10-40min depending on whether you're an experienced bike assembler or have little to no mechanical experience.
Side Note: Your cables will stretch during the initial bed-in period and must be adjusted by an experienced mechanic around 150km of riding.
