Looking for a Swiss army knife of bikes to handle flat rocky trails, paved trails, urban excursions, etc.
Any thoughts? Open to alternatives!

That rockhopper is a steal with that fork on it. I would get that. I think the only downside here is the fact that the rockhopper has a straight head tube(compatible with more budget forks) vs the tapered head tube on the polygon( compatible with more expensive forks). But the difference in performance with the two forks makes me push you towards the rockhopper. It’s truly an incredible deal imo and other than that the bikes are identical and i think that when you want to upgrade a new bike will be more worth it for both of them anyways.
I had the Xtrada 6 and the fork was the worst part of the spec. I would get the Rockhopper
