COMPONENTS
CARBON FORK
COMPLIANT- LIGHTWEIGHT- RESPONSIVE
Weight savings aside, the carbon fork fitted out on the R9X, provides you with vibration dampening and improved stiffness – keeping you stoked for longer. Not only does it improve comfort for those long weekend adventures, it’s extremely durable – ready for those rowdy roads.
SRAM RIVAL/XPLR DRIVETRAIN
WIRELESS – RELIABLE – 12-SPEED
The SRAM RIVAL/XPLR groupset on the R9X features the SRAM XG-1251 12-speed 10-44T cassette – providing you with the perfect gear, regardless of the situation. Alongside the wide-ranging cassette, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the crisp and reliable shifting of the wireless & electronic AXS eTap.
SRAM RIVAL BRAKES
POWERFUL – PREDICTABLE- MODULATION
Equipped with impressive 160mm front and 140mm rear rotors, the hydraulic disc brakes provide exceptional stopping power, allowing you to halt quickly and confidently, even in challenging conditions, while the unmatched modulation ensures precise control.
ROCKSHOX REVERB AXS DROPPER SEATPOST
SMOOTH – WIRELESS – RESPONSIVE
The RockShox Reverb AXS dropper seatpost provides unparalleled convenience and control, allowing you to quickly adjust your saddle height with precision. Not only do you get full control of the saddle height, you’ll be provided with that extra confidence when you’re sending it down gnarly hills.
VEE ROCKETMAN TIRES
COMFORTABLE – OPTIMAL CLEARANCE- TUBELESS READY
Designed with adventurers in mind, Polygon has spec’d out the R9X with 700x44c tires – providing you with a super plush and confidence inspiring ride. Not only can you fit wide tires, if you’re looking to slum it in the city, chuck on 32s for a faster ride. Developed to be tubeless ready, the Rocketman provides you with the perfect balance between grip, compliance and rolling resistance.
NOVATEC G24 CARBON WHEELSET
FAST – LIGHT – STIFF
Wheels make a big difference to the riding experience; thus, Polygon has spec’d the R9X out with light 28mm carbon hoops. Carbon wheels provide better vibration damping properties compared to alloy wheels, leading to a smoother and more comfortable ride, especially on rough gravel terrain.

GEOMETRY
STABLE – CONFIDENT- COMFORTABLE
With 440mm chainstays and a moderately long wheelbase, the Bend R9X remains stable but still has the ability to snap through tight turns. By utilising a tall front end and a slack headtube angle, you’re put in a comfortable riding position; however, you’ll still have enough weight on the front wheel to maintain confidence and push your limits in more technical terrain.
BEND R9X FEATURES
FRAME DETAILS
INTERNAL – SLEEK – CLEAN
From that deep sea blue frame to the subtle contour lines engrained within the top tube/downtube, the R9X is a nice looking rig. Not only does it come in a sick colourway, the internal cable routing adds to the clean look whilst preventing rust and fraying.
MOUNTING POINTS
VERSATILE – CUSTOMIZABLE – FUNCTIONAL
The Bend series is built for adventure – regardless of what you’re looking to tackle. With ample eyelets littered throughout the frame, you’ll be able to kit it out as you see fit. Frame bag? Check. Saddle bag? Check. Want to chuck on a set of pannier bags for commuting? Done. You name it, you can attach it.
BAR FLARE & PADDED BAR TAPE
COMFORTABLE – GRIPPY – CONFIDENCE INSPIRING
Comfort is king. With the R9X, you’ll not only feel comfortable from the endurance oriented geometry, but with the wide 44cm bars & 16° bar flare, you’ll be sending it with confidence. On top of that, the padded bar tape will give you that added boost when the roads get rough.
