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 range of Road Bicycles. We got the opportunity to test ride the Polygon Strattos S5 (2023) and here is what we thought.
Weight: 9.7kgs
Usage: Fitness/Endurance/Racing
The Polygon Strattos S5 (2023) is an aesthetic All-rounder Road Bicycle equipped with a full Shimano 105 groupset.
The Strattos S5 (2023) is built on a stock ALX Performance Road full 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 which helps immensely in reducing the overall weight of the Bicycle.

This Road Bicycle from Polygon which we test rode came in a full White frame with a lighter shade of Green and Purple as the secondary colours. 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 S5 (2023) comes in single colour variant, Gloss White with Light Green and Purple
The Strattos S5 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. This 105 groupset has some similar characteristics as its bigger counterparts in terms of design and build. The shifting was quick and responsive during the test ride.
The complete Shimano 105 groupset on the Strattos S5 is equipped with 2x11-Speed derailleurs
The Polygon Strattos S5 also follows the pattern of having a complete groupset to handle not just the gears but the brakes as well. The Shimano 105 BR-R7000 Caliper brakes were ideal for stopping on flat tarmacs which are wither dry or 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 or gloves.

The Strattos S5 rolls on a pair of Kenda 700x28C road tires which were ideal 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 Saddle is designed ergonomically for an Endurance Road Bicycle to make sure the rider can be seated for long hours without experiencing any soreness.
The Kenda 700x28C tires were fast rolling on smooth tarmacs and are built to last
This Road Bicycle has an endurance focused frame geometry, making it comfortable for long rides. The lightweight frame under 10kgs helps on climbs. The 2x11-Speed full Shimano 105 drivetrain was smooth and precise in shifting. The internal cable routing helps with increasing the life of the cables and also makes it look neater. The gloss White paint job with minimal secondary colours was unique and immensely enhanced the aesthetics. Priced at Rs.1,04,990(as on 3rd August 2023) the Polygon Strattos S5 (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.
