The Polygon Cascade 5 2026 is the top model in the Cascade range, adding a 10-speed drivetrain and branded Shimano hydraulic brakes to a proven 29" hardtail. Its ALX XC Sport aluminium frame is paired with a SunTour XCM 32 fork with 100mm of travel, giving controlled handling on trails and comfort on rough roads. Shimano CUES 1x10, with an SL-U6000 Rapidfire shifter, RD-U6000 rear derailleur and wide 11-48T cassette, offers smooth shifting and closer gear steps than lower models. Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes with SM-RT10 160mm rotors provide strong, easy-to-modulate braking. Deli 29 x 2.25" tyres on double-wall alloy rims grip well on loose surfaces. A Prowheel Charm crankset with a two-piece bottom bracket adds stiffness and durability. Available in sizes S to XL in Brown and White, the Cascade 5 is ideal for riders who want a well-equipped hardtail without stepping into race-level pricing.
