Polygon is an International Bicycle brand manufactured in Indonesia. They are known for Bicycles with performance focused components with a value for money price tag. Strattos is Polygon’s entry to mid-level range of Road Bicycles. We got the opportunity to test ride the Polygon Strattos S5D (2023) and here is what we thought.
Weight: 9.6kgs
Usage: Fitness/Endurance/Racing
The Polygon Strattos S5D (2023) is a lightweight, aesthetic and performance focused all-rounder Road Bicycle with a full Shimano 105 groupset.
The Strattos S5D (2023) is built on a stock ALX performance Road Alloy frame. The frame geometry is endurance focused and can be safely termed an all-rounder as the riding posture on the hoods and drops are suited well for both flat out speeds and tiresome hill climbs. This lightweight frame is evident with its responsive behavior on quick accelerations.
The tapered Carbon fork is super-light and immensely helps in reducing the overall weight of the Bicycle.

This Road Bicycle from Polygon which we test rode came in a dual shade of White and Light Grey. The creamy shade of Gloss White on this frame was unique and looked refreshing. Internal cable routing for the gears made sure the Bicycle looked neat and also increases the life of the cables.
The Strattos S5D (2023) comes in single colour variant; Gloss White with Light Grey
The Strattos S5D is equipped with Shimano’s 105 groupset at the front and rear as derailleurs. 105 is considered the beginning of top end derailleurs for racing. The shifting was quick and responsive during the test ride. This 105 groupset has some similar characteristics as its bigger counterparts in terms of design and build.
The complete Shimano 105 groupset on the Strattos S5D was quick to shift with no lags
The Strattos S5D also follows the pattern of having a complete groupset to handle not just the gears but the brakes as well. The Shimano 105 BR-R7070 Hydraulic Disc brakes were as powerful as they get and had impressive stopping power on flat tarmacs which were both dry and wet.
The Entity Sport drop handlebar on this Bicycle was comfortable on the hoods and drops. The bar tape was grippy even with wet hands and gloves.

The Strattos S5D rolls on a pair of Kenda 700x28C road tires which were perfect for racing and climbing on smooth tarmacs. The rubber compounds were strong and does give a long life, thus making it value for money.
The Entity stock Saddle was designed ergonomically for an Endurance Road Bicycle to make sure the rider can be seated for long hours without experiencing any soreness.

This Road Bicycle has Endurance focused frame geometry, making it comfortable for long rides. The lightweight frame with a carbon fork and overall weight under 10kgs helps on climbs. The 2x11-Speed full 105 drivetrain was smooth and precise in shifting. The internal gear cable routing helps with increasing the life of the cables and also makes it look neater. The gloss White paint job with dual shade Grey was unique and immensely enhanced the aesthetics. Priced at Rs.1,56,990(as on 13th September 2023) the Polygon Strattos S5D (2023) is an ideal choice for anyone looking to buy a Road Bicycle for long endurance rides including climbs and for amateur racing as well.
