Size

A gravel bike for the rider chasing long, unplanned routes, built with a dropper post and a 1x11 GRX drivetrain so the terrain never has to dictate the plan.

Overview

The Bend R5 sits above the R2 in Polygon's gravel line, built around the same carrier-ready ALX aluminium frame but stepped up with a Shimano GRX 1x11-speed groupset purpose-built for mixed terrain. A taller head tube and flared drop bar keep the riding position comfortable over long days, while an underwrap gel pad on the bar adds extra comfort on rough surfaces.

Where the R5 stands apart is its alloy dropper seatpost тАФ a feature normally reserved for mountain bikes тАФ which lets you drop the saddle out of the way on technical descents and bring it back up for efficient pedaling. Shimano RX810 hydraulic disc brakes handle stopping duty, and the full carbon fork keeps vibration from fatiguing your hands and wrists on longer rides.

It's aimed at riders who treat gravel as a genre rather than a surface тАФ someone equally happy linking farm roads, forest trails and broken tarmac into one continuous ride.

Why You'll Like It

A dropper post built in
The 110mm alloy dropper lets you get the saddle out of the way for technical descents, then bring it straight back up for climbing тАФ a genuine mountain-bike feature on a drop-bar gravel frame.

GRX-specific shifting
Shimano's GRX groupset is designed around gravel riding, with a clutch rear derailleur that keeps the chain from slapping around on rough ground.

Comfort built into the cockpit
An underwrap gel pad on the flared bar takes the edge off vibration on long days without the bulk of a thicker grip.

Confident stopping power
Shimano RX810 hydraulic disc brakes give consistent, modulated braking whatever the surface or weather.

Frame built for the long haul
Carrier and fender mounts are part of the frame design, not an afterthought, so the R5 is ready for bikepacking loads straight out of the box.

Who Is It For?

The Bend R5 is built for riders who want to go further off the beaten path than a standard gravel bike comfortably allows тАФ multi-day bikepacking trips, technical gravel descents, or long exploratory rides where the route might turn rough without warning.

In India, that versatility counts for a lot: the same bike handles a city commute on broken tarmac during the week and a weekend run out past the city limits onto dirt and gravel roads, without needing to switch bikes or tires.

It also suits a rider stepping up from an entry-level gravel bike who wants a more capable groupset and the extra control a dropper post brings on technical terrain.

Good to Know

The dropper post is operated by its own lever at the bar тАФ get familiar with the actuation point before a technical descent so it becomes second nature.

Carrier and fender mounts front and rear mean this bike is ready for a rack-and-pannier touring setup without any extra hardware.
