As the bike is looking awesome, the bad news about this prototype is that Polygon does not have plan to build this prototype as mass production. So, this prototype will only be used by Sam Reynolds, at least for now. Another thing that make this bike is special is the usage of BOS rear shock; they are pretty rare to give a slopestyle a rear shock. But that's normal because Polygon UT Teams runs with BOS Suspension.

Another things about this Sam Reynolds Polygon Prototype; this bike is finished with the graphic like on the World War II fighter planes, a shark teeth. Polygon's fans maybe have to be more patience to wait this bike to be produced as public. For now, just watch the new Sam Reynolds on the Crankworx Rotorua Les 2 Alpes 2015 event with his new bike.
