If you follow the post, somebody just messaged the CEO of Pole about an issue with his bike on an open forum. CEO then publicly advises to check for another defect, that will also be covered by warranty. It doesn't get any more transparent than this in the bike industry. An email with a photo is...
This is me and my riding buddy comparing our Poles in the woods in Finale Ligure. There's a lot of going in and out at high speeds between the trees.... Fnaar fnaar 😜
I went from a Focus Jam2 medium to a K2. I was worried about the longer chainstays, wheelbase, higher BB etc. Well it was all for nothing, my K2 felt instantly nimble, corners on rails. I can still manual 180, huck, bump jump and bunny hop as high and far as my smaller bike whilst feeling far...
