Polygon Xtrada 5 - 29-Inch Aluminium Hardtail Mountain Bike
The Polygon Xtrada 5 is a capable cross-country mountain bike designed for riders who want a reliable and versatile hardtail for trail adventures, fitness training and weekend exploration.
Combining a lightweight ALX aluminium frame, 120 mm front suspension, Shimano CUES 10-speed gearing and hydraulic disc brakes, the Xtrada 5 delivers an impressive specification for its price.
Finished in Red and Black with Gold detailing, this 29-inch mountain bike is available from Wheel Wizard Malta.
Lightweight Polygon ALX Aluminium Frame
The Xtrada 5 features Polygon's hydroformed ALX XC aluminium frame, developed for cross-country riding with modern mountain bike geometry.
Why it matters: The aluminium construction combines strength, durability and manageable weight. Its geometry provides a balance of efficient climbing, confident steering and control on trails.
The frame features Boost 148 mm rear hub spacing and a thru-axle wheel system.
SR Suntour XCM32 - 120 mm Front Suspension
The Polygon Xtrada 5 uses a SR Suntour XCM32 suspension fork with 120 mm travel and a Boost 15x110 mm thru-axle.
Why it matters: Front suspension absorbs trail bumps, rocks and uneven terrain, improving comfort and front-wheel traction.
The 120 mm travel offers additional capability when riding rougher cross-country trails compared with shorter-travel recreational forks.
Shimano CUES 10-Speed Drivetrain
The Xtrada 5 features a Shimano CUES SL-U6000 trigger shifter and Shimano CUES RD-U6000 rear derailleur.
A Shimano CS-LG300 11-48T 10-speed cassette is paired with a 32-tooth Prowheel crankset and KMC X-Glide chain.
Why it matters: The single front chainring simplifies shifting, while the wide 11-48T cassette provides useful low gears for climbing and higher gears for faster riding.
Shimano CUES components are designed for reliable everyday shifting and durability.
Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Shimano BL-MT200 brake levers operate Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brake calipers.
The brakes use Shimano SM-RT10 Center Lock rotors, measuring 180 mm at the front and 160 mm at the rear.
Why it matters: Hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled stopping performance and smooth lever operation. The larger front rotor offers additional braking leverage where it is most useful.
29-Inch Wheels and WTB Trail Boss Tyres
The Polygon Xtrada 5 comes with 29-inch alloy wheels, double-wall rims and WTB Trail Boss 29 x 2.25-inch tyres.
Front and rear hubs feature Boost thru-axle spacing, with a 15x110 mm front hub and 12x148 mm rear hub.
Why it matters: Large 29-inch wheels roll efficiently over rough terrain and help maintain momentum, while the WTB tyres provide useful traction on suitable off-road trails.
Modern Trail-Ready Cockpit
The Polygon Sport aluminium handlebar measures 760 mm wide, with a 20 mm rise and 9-degree backsweep.
A 40 mm Polygon Sport stem provides a compact steering setup, while the LINC Void saddle offers a practical contact point for cross-country riding.
Why it matters: The wide handlebar and short stem provide steering leverage and control when navigating winding trails and uneven ground.
