Same. Im awaiting a voima so have asked to get one added to the box. This was last thing that needed doing to hopefully make it perfect.I've just ordered one for their website, let's see if it arrives untill X-MassGreat little upgrade to be honest, as I tend to lose keys and such
Do share your results when you got it setup. Note that corresponding short linkage for the Sonni did not fare that well, at least according to Pinkbike: too harsh in the bottom-outs, even with a Vivid, and too stiff and levered for the small stuff, sort of the worst of both worlds. But then again, we have not had a formal review of the Sonni to compare. We do know it's got a more aggressive levering than the Voima, so splitting the difference with small travel linkage on the Voima may be more accomodating.
Wish I had. Could have caught the bastard that stole mine.
I have the connect module, but havent installed it yet
. You need to remove the crank to remove the plastic protection and after that you need to have the BDU37 module. That is for my race.The only problem I see with installing the connect module is for those who have or may want to derestrict their bikes. The flow app and or any Bosch gps monitoring system can show any speeds that are over the limit and then issue an error code and put the bike into limp mode.I have the connect module, but havent installed it yet
#Update :
Just installed the ConnectModule. You do not need to remove the crank to take the plastic protection off. After an update on the bike, activated the Alarm + GPS. Now I need to ask Pole for the invoice and update all the bike details, so if the bike is stolen you can send a report directly to the police.

I'm not surprised at all. Voima is a monster of a bike. It doesn't really shine until you are smashing big chunk at speed. Many voima owners aren't even riding the big chuck. So it isn't the best bike for them.The Voima is a playful bike for 190/190. But I’ve gone to an Orbea Wild 170/160 it’s on a whole different level of playful. Most fun I’ve had on a bike yet.
Maybe the 170/160 Voima will be similar
I just ordered the aftermarket kit on eBay for $95.I have the connect module, but havent installed it yet

Its a bit fiddly to remove the plastic cover. You need to turn the crank around to find the exact spot where the gap is the largest so it fits. Then the cover will sit around your pedal untill you install the module. Personally, I didn't find the user manual handy and used the good old Youtube(link to actual video I used).
Have you tried Trail-Conversion Yoke yet?
I don’t foresee any real world benefits to reducing the travel on the Voima. lt’s already an efficient peddler and reducing the travel is just going to make it harsh and less capable. Who has ever ridden their Voima and thought, hey this suspension is too plush, too comfortable and too capable, I think I need less travel. WTF?
There are times when the excessive travel is limiting. That is through machine built pump/jump style trails. The suspension just sucks up the rollers and small jump faces makes it a lot harder to pump/jump through. Its also not the best on flat easy tight twisty xc track.
Just arrived with me, what an impact this has as soon as you see it!

Voima Sizing Questions/Views/Opinions
Hello everyone! I had a couple of good demo rides on the Voima last week and, as the people here are eager to hear how she rides, I thought I’d give a little review based on my first experiences on the bike. First of all I’m 177 cm and weigh 72kg and I mainly rode the K2 but I had a quick go...www.emtbforums.com
I have two rides with the trail link fitted to my Vikkela and so far the feeling is very positive. Currently running the fork at 180 travel and had a 27.5 wheel fitted so it is a little slack. Once I put the 29er back in and drop the fork to 170 I'll get a better idea.
I’m wondering what happens if you remove the module after you activate it…like a thief might.
I’m also curious although I still want an EXT Arma at some point
Chris @ Pole told me the tune for the Vioma is R25 C30…did you order one with a Vioma, or from somewhere else?
No, I just ordered one from my supplier. There's a few suspension tuners close by if I wanted to change something.
Does it matter which way the Vivid is mounted?
If are referring to the 90 degree mount where the piggyback is on the side, that's how the Voima is designed.
No, what I referring to is only one of the shock yokes is around the wrong way. The shock is not parallel to the top tube
What if the reservoir is on the long side of only 1 yoke.It can be mounted whichever way you want, as long as the reservoir is on the longer side of both yokes. Like in the pic Below. P.s., excuse the dirt, it hasn’t been cleaned since before the last ride.

With the Super Deluxe the piggyback is mounted to the housing, whereas with the vivid its mounted on the shaft. My sense would be the shaft side mounted toward the seat tube with the piggyback on left side. Try that for starters.
That’s a big no no. I’m pretty sure Leo has said it too. The offset yokes need to be the same offset on both ends.
