The smooth welding helps keep this frame lightweight and durable. The endurance-oriented frame geometry has been created specifically for a women’s body anatomy, to deliver maximum performance while being comfortable.

The paint finish on this bicycle appears to be of top-notch quality. This bicycle is available in a single colour option. Notably, the bicycle has internal cabling which not only adds to its overall aesthetic appeal but also its performance.
A great looking bicycle with colours sure to catch one’s attention
The Polygon Divine R5 comes equipped with a Shimano 105 drivetrain. The shifting was smooth and precise, and with no evidence of a lag in the gear transmission. Given the price point of this bicycle, a complete Shimano 105 drivetrain is impressive and thus leaving no room for complaints in this department.
A complete Shimano 105 drivetrain
The Polygon Divine R5 comes equipped with Shimano 105 V-brakes. When tested, the braking was found to be powerful and efficient. Both power braking and progressive, feathered braking felt stable and balanced. It is safe to say that these brakes will perform with efficiency and precision on dry and wet surfaces alike.
This bicycle comes equipped with an Entity Sport Alloy handlebar. The width of the handlebar is 380mm on the 43cm and 46cm bicycles, and 400mm on the 49cm frame size. The width of the handlebar is ideal for women riders, enabling a comfortable riding position. Overall, the reach was comfortable, when using the drop bars as well.
Efficient braking with adequate power
The Polygon Divine R5 comes with a pair of 700x28c performance tires which are attached to Entity XL3 Tubeless Ready Tires. Cornering was easy, while being stable and controlled. Given the top notch specs across the bicycle, the tires on this bicycle could have been upgraded to something more durable and long lasting.
The bicycle comes equipped with an Entity Aion saddle which was comfortable when on the test ride.
Stable and sturdy 700c” tires with good grip
The Polygon Divine R5 is a high-end performance road bicycle, priced at Rs 91,990 (as on 13th May 2019), and is ideal for avid women cyclists looking for a performance- oriented road bicycle that is comfortable and great value for money.
