The Polygon Siskiu T8 is built as a cross-country geometry frame, the Specialized Epic 9 as a cross-country geometry frame. Across matched sizes the Polygon Siskiu T8 and Specialized Epic 9 front ends are within a few millimetres of each other, so posture will depend more on cockpit setup than on the frame. Reach is nearly identical across matched sizes.

FAQ

Which has the taller front end: Polygon Siskiu T8 or Specialized Epic 9?

Across matched sizes the Polygon Siskiu T8 and Specialized Epic 9 front ends are within a few millimetres of each other, so posture will depend more on cockpit setup than on the frame.

Can the same rider take different sizes on these two bikes?

Yes, and it happens often: frame labels are not standardized. Use the matched-size table for geometry, then run the fit check below with your own measurements for each bike.
