COMPONENTS
CARBON FORK
COMPLIANT- LIGHTWEIGHT- RESPONSIVE
Weight savings aside, the carbon fork fitted out on the R7, 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 – for those more rowdy roads.
SRAM APEX 1 GROUPSET
PRACTICAL – RELIABLE – 11-SPEED
The SRAM Apex 1 11-speed groupset on the R7 features the SRAM PG-1130 11-Speed 11-42T cassette – providing you with the perfect gear, regardless of the situation. Alongside the wide-ranging cassette, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the reliability and durability of this mechanical groupset.
SRAM APEX 1 BRAKES
RELIABLE – 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.
TRANZ-X DROPPER SEATPOST
SMOOTH – PRACTICAL – RESPONSIVE
The Tranz-X dropper seatpost provides ideal 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 R7 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 32mm tires for a faster ride. Developed to be set up tubeless, the Vee Rocketman provides you with the perfect balance between grip, compliance and rolling resistance.
ALLOY DOUBLE WALL 32H WHEELSET
DURABLE – RELIABLE – STIFF
Wheels make a big difference to the riding experience; thus, Polygon has spec’d the R7 out with reliable alloy hoops. Alloy wheels are known for their robustness and resistance to impact, making them less prone to damage from potholes, curbs, or rough road conditions. Now you’ll be able to crush your off-road adventures, hassle-free.

STABLE – CONFIDENT- COMFORTABLE
With 440mm chainstays and a moderately long wheelbase, the Bend R7 remains stable but still has the ability to snap through tight turns. By utilizing 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 whilst pushing your limits in more technical terrain.
BEND R7 FEATURES
FRAME DETAILS
INTERNAL – SLEEK – CLEAN
From that sunburst orange frame to the subtle contour lines engrained within the top tube/downtube, the R7 is a hot looking all-rounder. Not only does it come in a sick colorway, 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 R7, 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.
