1. Have anyone ridden polygon mountain bikes before?

At $1500 that is a lot of nice parts. The Fork alone sells for between $600 and $1200.

That is an all mountain bike. You can ride it up mountains but it is designed to be ridden down quite rough terrain.

The next model up got a good review in the latest Mountain Biking Australia magazine.
