01
Origin
The Siskiu T debuted in 2016 as Polygon's answer to the trail-bike segment — an alloy full-suspension platform designed to punch above its price. Each generation sharpened the geometry (slack 64.5° HTA, steep 71–77° STA) and upgraded components, culminating in the T8 with UDH running FOX suspension and Shimano SLX throughout. Siskiu is derived from a Sundanese word meaning path or track.
