If I hadn’t just bought the new race ID Voima, I’d buy the new new Sonni DH with the race motor. But I’m not sure about the downtube not being even with the motor where they meet. The motor hanging down lower than the downtube seems like it would bring you to a sudden stop when trying to clear...
I’m sure there would be plenty of buyers from the Facebook Pole owners group that have Voimas with rim magnets If they knew there was something available for them. I had one, but I sold it and got the new model with the rotor magnet speed sensor, so I don’t need one now. Otherwise I would have...
There are World Cup riders with a tall stack. Dakota Norton and Greg Minnaar to just to name a couple. And I have some super steep stuff that I ride up with no problem with a tall stack. But I also have a dual crown, so maybe that helps. I’ve always liked a tall stack though. I think maybe it’s...
Yeah, it can be in any orientation that you want. You just need to flip the offset shock mounts accordingly so the piggyback doesn’t stick out too far.
This seems like it would be a perfect application for the Voima since it has a swingarm it wouldn’t need a split in the rear triangle like a regular bike. You would just need to remove the rear wheel to change the belt, if and when it’s ever needed. There are so many positives on this system, I...
Everyone will be able to buy it, it’s just that loyal existing Pole owners will get the first opportunity to buy and probably at a reduced cost, which is fair. I like it. 👍🏼
WTF! I just got my new Race ID! Now I’m going to have to get a new new one! My wife is going to murder me! 😂😢 Seriously though, with all of the new motors with integrated gears coming out, I think I’ll wait for the new Bosch race motor with integrated transmission, automatic shifting and belt...

I think you’re ok with either one. I’m 5’6-5’7ish and I’m on my second K1 Voima. However I am using a 10mm stem on my 40, so the reach isn’t an issue for me. I haven’t tried a K0 though, but with 455 chainstays I think a K1 with 450 reach is more balanced and centered for the rider rather...
I guess having the option for different size rear ends would be nice for rider preference. Having said that, I’m on a K1 with full 27.5 x 2.8’s with a dual crown and I couldn’t be more happy with my bike and the current geo, including the chainstay length. I think if the chainstays were any...
Sorry to hear you’re having speed sensor issues. That’s a bummer. Hopefully your bike shop will have it all worked out by the time you get back from your trip.
I took off my badges and decals when I took of all of my wrap. I have new decals and badges, but I’ve yet to put the decals back on. But I did put on new badges back on. It just looked a little plain to me without the badges. I may put the decals back on at some point, maybe.
I wouldn’t use gorilla tape as it leaves sticky residue behind if you need to remove it later. Pole specifies gaffing tape which doesn’t leave any residue if you need to remove or re-tape later. If you line up all of the cables together on the left side near the bottom edge and tape over them...
Yeah, I tried changing the wheel size on the flow app of my old Voima with the rim magnet and it didn’t actually change anything, the top speed was the same. So I had to take it to my local bike shop/Bosch dealer and they changed the programmed wheel size from 29 to 27.5 through Bosch OEM. On my...
