Is there an assumption that the moderators need something to do ? Just quickly reading through 24 pages and 700 posts and picking out and copying/duplicating and editing where necessary the size related posts ?
Soz, I know your busy, forget I said it.
Now that Bambam isn't around, you must have a lot of time on your hands ?

Yes. They are under the clear protective stickers though if you have opted to have them.
Black POLE decals on my storm grey Voima are applied on top of factory protective film. I can feel the edge with my fingernail, it’s certainly on top of the film, not under.
Interesting- I thought they were under the protective stickers. My mistake
Perfect. Going to replace the logos with pink ones
What are ya on about?
Yeah, that guy is shredding, and some of that shale track in the open looks steep. But yeah, nothing super big or sendy.Not exactly chunky gnar, but Voima being ridden hard
Stand over….. I have a 28 inch inseam. The small Pole has stand over is like 34 inches mid top tube on the small. People with long legs don’t think about these things but smash your man parts on the top tube a couple time and you pay attention. I under stand that it’s hard to put numbers like 190 mm travel fork and 29 inch wheels and the need for a low stand over. I bought a s3 Kenevo with a 475 reach because I am all torso and no legs. If you look at a Kenevo frame, that bent top tube makes the bike work. Just saying….
Given the age of the typical Voima rider appears to be 65, it’s not much of a surprise.
Moving the seat tube / top tube junction down would visually align the angle with the seat stays, which would be a solid aesthetic improvement. That said, they’d need to add material to stiffen the resulting seat mast (see WR1 Arrival), which would add some weight. Forward shock mount would need to relocate and water bottle fit would get iffy.
I also have a 28” inseam and the K1 Voima was perfect for me. It had a lower top tube than any other bike I’ve owned. Granted, I did run 27.5 x 2.8 front and rear but with a 40 up front. I could easily stand up over the top tube and had no ball squash and my balls are ginormous.
Leo shredding his Pole Voima at bike park
Yeah I've seen that. Some good schralping but no gnar.
You are right, I was thinking more than writing. The Kenevo is 27.5 bike so it does not have a bent top tube BUT, The Levo sl is an all 29er e bike and it does have a bent top tube. There is a reason Pole does not list their stand over, its huge on the small.
