Expirience with the Polygon CASCADE 3

Ludwig Döhl You love to ride your bike on sporty excursions? Then the Racebike of Polygon and you could become friends. The 430 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. The upright seating position gives the CASCADE 3 a comfortable character. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Polygon Racebike is probably not the right bike for you. Finally, the Racebike of Polygon still has one point to prove: compared to the competitors in the same price segment, the Polygon has significantly stronger brakes. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 5 years warranty Polygon sets the bar high!
