Yannick Granieri and Sam Reynolds took a trip to Indonesia and we joined them to catch every second of the action. In the first part of their adventure, they pay a visit to the Polygon bike factory to see how simple aluminium tubes are turned into something special before climbing up a volcano to take advantage of some natural ramps and step-up jumps. Check it out here and stay tuned for more action around the FMB World Tour 2012...
bohoo - don't even think of going to such places, they eat people like you and use your bike for toothpicks...Just look at Sam and Yannick, they're having such a miserable time.
Its Indonesia you mug, millions of people go there every year travelling and surfing me being one of them. Think you need to leave your little nest every once in a while and explore a bit and lighten up!

LOL
Oh and @leelau - KK is a GREAT destination for adventuring, if you've got stones for it! Don't know if a bike would work well there though... I have several peaks in that region on my bucket list!
I think they on to something with that bamboo ramp. Light weight, strong and doesn't absorb alot of water or get rotten. Bamboo doesnt flex that much either.
yup! basically it's a dual linkage like VPP or DW link, but the shock mounts are "floating" on the linkages.. and then Polygon engineer managed to make it's placement really low on the bike, lowering it's CoG too. I've tried different bike type from Polygon with the same suspension system, and it feels really stable because of it's low CoG.
