https://www.bicyclesonline.com.au/2016-polygon-heist-5.0-29er-hybrid-commuter-bike The Polygon Heist 5.0 is one the most popular hybrid bikes in Australia and has been used by thousands or riders around the country for weekend rides along the local fire trail to epic long distance tours from Melbourne to Perth or Brisbane to Cairns! It's no wonder then that the 5th iteration of the Heist 5.0, Polygon decided to stick with the same winning recipe and only update components to this brilliant bike. The Polygon Heist 5.0 fuses Road bike and Mountain Bike geometry into a one-bike-to-do-it-all steed that delivers incredible speed on paved roads, but is still a credible performer when you are off the beaten track. The addition of the suspension fork aids to its light off road credibility and improves rider comfort whilst on road. The Suntour NCX is a trekking specific suspension fork. The travel is kept to an optimum 63mm, and the lowers are made from magnesium all engineered to keep the fork weight to barely more than a regular solid fork. With the addition of a lock out lever, means that you can maintain efficiency whilst riding on paved roads or during ascents. The full Shimano Deore 30 Speed groupset is at your disposal, giving you ample range of gears for any situation you might, or might, not have planned for. Perhaps the best value mountain bike groupset, Shimano Deore provides a superb blend of durability and performance, and also helps to keep the bike weight down when the hill points up. To keep things in control, the Heist 5.0 comes equipped with Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes, delivering unprecedented stopping power and modulation on a bike at this price point. Hydraulic disc brakes are an amazing upgrade to have on any bike as it removes the need to pull hard on the brake levers to achieve the desired braking power. Maximum power is can be easily controlled with minimal input at the levers – allowing you to focus on the road ahead rather than worrying about whether you are going to stop in time or potentially lock up the wheels. Finishing off the Polygon Heist 5.0, 29er wheels are included in the package, allowing for faster cruising speeds and better stability. Gluing you to the road, a set of Schwalbe Tyrago 40c tyres mounted on double wall Araya rims, the active Kevlar belt keeps punctures at bay for added peace of mind.
