I think the original prototypes were lighter, but then they made the downtube double walled, so the weight naturally increased.

Pole also has a transferable warranty.

Can’t wait to hear your ride report/review!

The purpose for rotating chains is to extend the drivetrain life, because as the chain stretches out, the chainring and cassette teeth will wear faster, but if you rotate chains, the stretching doesn’t happen as fast and your chainring and cassette will last longer. Waxing also extends the...

I currently Rotate 2 chains on each of my bikes and I rotate them when i can feel when the chain is in need to be cleaned and re-waxed. You can hear and feel it. It gets a little noisy in the lowest gears and becomes a little notchy feeling. I used to automatically rotate every 300 miles, but...

To do that after every slightly muddy ride is overkill. There is no need to do that. You can rinse the muc off with a gentle hose rinse, blow dry and it’s good to go. I’ve been waxing for about 10 years now and I get over a couple thousand miles out of my ebike drivetrain or about 2 years...

Pole offers frame only options as well as several complete build options. They use Bosch motors and 750w batteries.

It still works in muddy conditions, better than oil, but it just needs to be cleaned and re-waxed a little sooner than normal.

I leave the link attached and clipped together to the chain when I wax, so it’s not difficult to then take it off and then put the chain back on the bike and re-clip the link back on.

Once the new chain is degreased of the factory coating, hot water with a little dawn dish soap is all that is needed, since there is just old wax and very little dirt after its been used for a few hundred miles. Dry after by wiping it down with a clean rag towel and rewax once it’s fully dry. I...

Cracking good men’s race! Thanks for the link, but maybe remove the spoiler info so we can be surprised when we see it for the first time. It was crazy though!

It is BS. I’ve been using KMC 11sp SL chains and YBN 11sp ti chains on my full power Bosch motor e-bikes for over 1000 miles without issues. Both are lightweight chains that I was told won’t last with a full power ebike and I’ve prove that was also bs.

I think the double wall downtube probably make up the bulk of the weight gain from the original prototype. That and the aluminum wrap around bashguard, which is optional. But I think most people will be getting it.

Cool thanks, I can’t wait for your build and review. 👍🏼

Thats awesome Rob! But isn’t it 200/200 With the Boxxer on it? The Voima is 190/200 with a dual crown, but the Sonni has 200 in the rear So it would be 200/200.

They’re only going on new Voima‘s and warrantied Voima’s with cracked swingarms. Are yours cracked?

Pole Voima. I dig mine, it does everything great!👍🏼

Interestingly I went on a ride today at the Luge in OC and I met 3 riders who were chilling at the flag, which is the start of the DH. They were checking out my bike when I realized that it was Brian Lopes and Ryan Pinkerton, not sure who the 3rd guy was, (maybe Ryan’s mechanic). We talked for a...

It’s going to be a fun season to watch for sure. Watch Asa’s run in the video above and you’ll have an idea how fast he is. I can’t wait for the season to start!

Me too! The young US talent is looking fast! 🤘🏻😎
