  • Today I want to find a way to get the best possible suspension setup on my Polygon Collosus N7 but I only have $260 left to spend. Let’s take a closer look at these 2 Enduro Mountain Bikes and take them out on my test loop to see how these 2 very different MTBs ride on the same trails. In this video series, I’ll be Upgrading everything on the N7 with a $1000 budget to see how close I can get it to feel to a bike Twice the Price. Welcome to High vs Low!

    Ride the N9 now. You've been riding this one more. Fair comparison than.

      Right on. I for one, support the aggressive hardtail build series. Pretty much anything hardtail. 🤣

    Great Video series! I would also like to see you make a run on the N9 again. It would be cool to see how a built hardtail would stack up on this trail as well.

    This series was epic it would be awesome if you did a siskiu t8 vs t7 or something similar to that I have a t7 and don’t know what to upgrade yet but this series has helped with that.
    Thanks

    Love the series. I do think you need to do another run on the N9 since you’re more familiar with this trail now. I’d also like to see weight comparisons to see the comparison between dream build and budget build to possibly justify the $$ investment. I do really appreciate the info on the Tek-Mano brakes. Love them now!

    • @TopToBottomMTB

  • @athishmarutharaj6001
    @athishmarutharaj6001 Před 4 měsíci +1

    maybe a frame that can't get "goodish" upgrades. like 135mm QR dropouts and a strait steerer tube. and then find ways to overcome those limitations to upgrading that frame.

    Another wicked video in this series!
    I've seen a couple local to Aus youtubers and content creators moving away from the complexity of fox 38s and finding they're quite happy and even surprised as how well the zeb ultimate rides!
    As already suggested multiple times, another vid where you do the trail on the N9 would be good, just to get a good comparison of your trail knowledge now compared to when you first started the series!
    Also, hard tail next for sure, think thats a great starting point for a lot of people getting into MTB

    Great video and sick riding 🔥🔥🔥.
    I would love to see a comparison on just the forks as for me ZEB is an absolute beast. Also if you can it would be nice if you can try a domain on a bike, maybe on a future build budget series.The only real review I personally have is from the mechanic in the store I work at stating it is the best fork he has ridden after the zeb(previous on his bike was 36 factory grip2).

      You obviously didn’t watch the video… Did you see in the video where I bought the fork? And where I sold my stock one? Net cost was $250. Please keep your comments positive and get all the info before making accusations. ✌🏻
