I am lucky enough to have a Voima and can only agree with everything Rob mentioned. It is amazing going up and down.

I couldn't wait for this video and now its here it has surpassed my expectations! Definitely I'm getting one next year! Best ebike out there hands down

Great stuff Rob!! Glad you have also been blown away by this insane bike 👌

Rob, the quality of your videos and filming is just outstanding, you are in a different league to many of your peers. PS the bike looks great as well, want one.

Dear Santa 🙏

Just WOW! Defi my next bike. Love my Bullit, but this takes it to the next level. Thank you Rob 🤙🏼🔥♥️

This was a very good video, bravo Rob, you did great with its production and quality. I really appreciate your personality, effort, and knowledge. I've never heard of this bike (and brand), but gosh dangit, I want this. : ) Thanks for your work!

your video footage is getting better and better, i love the editing, and how you explain "complicated" specs and stats in a way that it effects the ride. Thank you very much, I enjoy every single Video

Wow... Looks like a unique bike. Very good video as well. Thanks Rob!

I've lost count how many times I've watched this vid, superb by the way, but...the phrase 'tight & twisty's' has to be the winner, makes me chuckle every time I watch, thanks Rob keep up the good work

Finally, been waiting since you interviewed Leo for a review :) Thanks Rob, great review of this fantastic bike

Spot on review Rob! Throw some carbon rims and Berd spokes for a light and durable wheelset, some carbon bars and cranks too. My Voima is 50.8lbs in a size K1 with a dual crown 40 on it. It’s a beast of a bike and I love it too! You’re right, it climbs and descends so good, but it can also be used as a casual trail bike too! So glad I made the purchase way back before they were released. I have the 2nd one made in size K1. I think with the lighter wheelset, the bike accelerates and brakes quicker and I think it also gets better range with the battery.

I don’t know about the Pole itself but I agree that long travel , high stack, steep seat angle is the future of full power e-bikes. It’s a honest bike in that regard, not trying to mimick a pedal bike enduro but go for the full monty of motor assisted riding 👍👍👍

I tested the K3 size, and it fit me well, at 190 ish cm (6 foot 3). A couple of things that didn't quite make the video: Bash Plate is a good addition from the factory (well worth getting, a couple of scuff marks) - I tried a lot of different bar and stem heights (35mm stem, 50mm stem, 25mm bars / 35mm bars and 50mm bars). Finally settled on 50mm stam and 50mm rise bars, with approx 25mm of spacers under the stem, that I might still fine tune. Sag approx 28% in the rear, 20% on the Zeb, no tokens, low speed compressions fully open high speed in the mid / default position. You can set the bike up firm or soft, theres so much adjustability with this amount of travel. Soft for a nice comfortable plush ride and still have good BB clearance. Weight was with Maxxis DD DHR2 and Shorty DD tyres, carbon DT Swiss wheels, no inserts, 220mm rotors front and rear, AXS Dropper, 24.7KG. Could get into 23KG bracket if you wanted to with some lighter tyres etc. I just looked at the Pole website and it seems they are currently offering free worldwide delivery... BUT - Some people who have ordered say to choose DHL as the delivery option (at an extra cost) for the quickest, and to stop it being delayed at customs (certainly in the UK). Pricing: Make sure on Pole website you select your country. UK fees: add 6% to the total bike price (IMPORT FEE) then add 20% (VAT) on top of bike price and import fee to give your total price you will pay. Here's an example: Frameset Only: €5637 which is £4939 GBP. Plus 6% Import fee: £5235. THEN add VAT to that, so = £6282 total price. Mine test bike is K3, with Storm Grey electrophoretic coating. Gold looks super bling, I might get one in raw alu as my own frame! Not sure yet! I am not the fastest or most skilled or stylish rider, I do like big long travel ebikes and I hope to progress with this bike, I am the limiting factor when riding, the bike is so capable! I have got an EXT coil coming next week which will be going straight on it, will be a good comparison vs the Super Deluxe Air! PS - Zeb Decals are on upside down. The bike arrived like that haha. Finally, the bike is stunning, everyone want to know more about it. Its a head turner for sure!

Some, no, most of these shots are incredible. Give your videographer a raise!

Best EMTB vids on the KZfaq. Keep it up Rob!

Great vid, both review and the actual cinematography! I own a Pole Taival and it's a blast. Busy saving up, as a K2 Voima is on the cards for end of 2023.

Nice review…good job Rob!….as always….I got my voima in K4 ~ 2 month ago and am in full agreement with Robs verdict. Even though my exclusivity on the trails might suffer: best bike I ever rode-a clear buy it recommendation!!! Cheers

its for me the most anticipted review of the year. 🎉🎉🎉

Wow Rob. Your video production has really gotten impressive. Your action footage is taken from a great perspective. That EMTB is also getting a bunch of interest. I think it is beautiful. It is nice to hear the riders side of the equation. Have a great day and even better ride.

What a beast !! , the back end looks very solid and active, your camera shots are superb.

Great video and I feel the review is spot on based on my personal time with the bike. Everyone needs a Voima!

Been waiting for this review to put my order in. Thanks!

I have got my pole in gold 3 weeks ago in size K3. I waited since May for my new bike. Now I have this insane bike and I made a few rides and I love it really. I am looking forward for new trail adventures next year, because now the snow is on the trails here in the mountains of Austria.

Awesome Bike! And having the Pivits so high above the bottombracket the chain locks the function when pedaling (half active rear) smart when having that massive 190 mm travel, this is the One no matter what you Riding you do, the one to Dream about 🤠

Rob your Cinematics Absolutely amazingKeep him coming

Wow great video. Well done Pole 🙌🏻👊🏻

Hey Rob, love the video. Having ridden a specialised Kenevo (2020 with the triple clamp forks) for last few years, I recently got a Voima. It is an awesome bike but the clearance from that higher bb is so noticeable. Constantly getting pedal strikes on the Kenevo despite going to crazy short cranks, nothing on Voima. Only been on it three weeks but I’m stoked with it so far.

AWESOME VIDEO AND BIKE REVIEW AS ALWAYS . KEEP IT UP ROB

Amazing bike! I don't have any mountains nearby, but even uphill feels like a downhill with Pole Voima. The best bike I've ever had, hands down. 😁

When I bumped into you the other week in Surrey, and got to see it in the flesh, it’s defo a better looker in person… ❤👌

ABSOLUTELY LOVE MINE !!! This ebike is truly a real work of art A MASTERPIECE, it’s ride and performance is even better 😮 I added AXS electronic shifting and AXS Reverb REALLY SWEET !!!

Great looking ebike. King of the mountain goats !

Thanks for another great video Rob. Has Pole given any indication if/when they'll be adapting the new more integrated, sleeker Bosch controller & display? Will you be ordering yours with the current display & controller or waiting 'till Pole has implemented the new ones?

I've been waiting for this. Tea and biscuits ready. Let's go...

Finnish passion and engineering. Great combo. Great video too!

I have had my eye on this bike since leo starting posting about it. While im still a couple years off from upgrading my current EMTB this is the only bike that is on my short list.

With the anti-squat, high BB, beautiful design, etc. you’ve basically reviewed a burly, modern day, Mountain Cycle -San Andreas. The original Swiss Army knife of mountain bikes. I still have mine and it’s still cool. Anyway, great review as always. Really like your channel. Thanks for all you do. Much respect.🙏👍😉

Mine’s just arrived Rob - great review- am stoked to get it out there 👌

Fantastic footage!

With BB height, you need to consider Sag as well. For example for a bike with 190mm rear travel, the bottom bracket will drop ~57mm as soon as you sit on it (Assuming 30% sag). I've always thought that it's strange that bike manufacturers give geometry figures without Sag accounted for. Sag makes a big difference to the numbers and can even affect head tube angle, effective reach etc since the rear sags more than the front (usually ~30% on the rear and ~20% on the front).

Great review, I spotted a video with Pole's owner building one up, I had thought "well I will give it a few minutes" but ended up watching the whole like 27mins. Really impressive bike, looking forward to seeing a long term review on it! Also 100% agree, why keys on eMtbs?!?!

One of the things that really stands out in this excellent review is that Pole have raised the BB height. I hope other manufacturers take note.

Brilliant video and just what i have been waiting for. Have got my invoice from POLE ready to buy so chocks away

Great Video as ever Rob, I have a K2 that I didn't even have to order, I was able to buy it with 50 km's on the clock, I changed the Canecreek Katsuma spring rate to suit my weight and oh my god what a weapon, I've been lucky enough to ride many long and short travel e bikes and nothing comes close to how the Voima rides up or down, so not at all surprised you are buying one for yourself. Also if you think the Grey smoke frame draws attention try the pure gold and get ready for the constant interest and queries cheers

Definitely, a e-bike for the terrain surrounding Lake Tahoe.

Great editing, Fantastic video👍

Really like the look of this bike and brand. Seen a few of the workshop vids and they look like a company going places. The frame design and manufacture looks stunning. Ticks every box for my next bike, except the lack of UK support atm. If they set up a hub like Propain or YT have and offer genuine backup / parts etc I think I'll be pulling the trigger :-). Another great video Rob!

Great review Rob! So I've had mine for a couple of months and love it! I noticed that I also blow the o ring off the end of the rear shock, but like you, it never feels like it's bottoming out. I've ordered some volume spacers as I would rather run lower pressure at the beginning of the curve and have it ramp up towards the end. Absolutely amazing bike for what we're riding in the PNW! I'm running MT7 brakes with 220mm rotors front and rear, the DEEMAX S30 wheels, and a ONEUP e-bar with revgrips. This thing rips!

I've been waiting for a long time and this is a good one! Have ordered mine 10 days ago and now is the wait. Will be interested to see how this bike works on the twisties......great video!

Can’t wait to get mine ordered!!!!!!!

You explain it so nice, i will buy one tomorrow! 😉

Rob, i like what you are able to do on these eMTBs. Can't wait to see them here in India.

Top notch video quality 👌🏼

Rocking the v-neck sweater and shredding. Niiiice

The mountain goat of e bikes

I would like to see you visit the Pole factory or even see when they are building your own bike.

Ok ok! You've done it Rob and Pole! I now need THIS bike. I was hoping to remain an acoustic rider until I'm really old but that thing looks Monster! Your videos are brilliant too, great production. Well done Rob

I want one of these!!!!’ Best bikes around

Looks incredible

Some great riding shots in there Rob 🚀🚀🚀

Thanks for the review Rob . . and nice camera work! I was looking forward to your review but in the end couldn't wait any longer and ordered one a couple of months ago. I think it's great and I agree about tight peddling platform, in fact it sort of takes you by surprise when landing a jump, because then it's just so plush (btw I went for a coil on the rear which I think feels just excellent). Would love to know your thoughts on any comparisons with the Kenevo?

Seems like Pole really has done it with this bike. It checks all my boxes. I sold my Kenevo Expert… This will definitly rival that one.

Awesome vid as ever Rob. I suspected it was the descending God but like you, I'm surprised by the extent of the climbing ability. That usual compromise between climbing and descending abilities seems to have been conquered in this bike then. Would have been useful additional info if you'd commented on how it jumps and drops compared to mainstream sizing / geometry bikes we're all mostly used to. I've wanted one for a while. You've just added to the desire !! 👍

thanks for showing the climbing - so many others just show downhill - making you wonder if they can climb

Really nice shots of the sus compressing and the drone shots of the climbing are fantastic! I feel totally vindicated having waited nearly a year for mine. Love it but need some riser bars too. Which did you get?

With a ST Angle at 80deg I would add a Fox40 200mm double crown fork and Fox DHX2 coil shock. That would make this the Ultimate Downhill eBike

Looked like Snowdon, Rob? Lots of fun on an E-bike!

Long waited video! I've wathched it 4 times already 😅 Thank you it's amazing!😊 I wonder how do you decide where you use fullface helmet?

Looks like a bike from the future!

It is Gorgeous .

Looks like a broken spectre to me at 14:36? Great review once again Rob. Bet you loved Snowdon!

Damn! The bass in that dnb track is heavy!

Rob, go out on your local trails on it and see if you PR all your previous downhill times...I bet you will.

I’d be curious about the fox 38 on it too. And really my main desire would be to have the new ABS system available on it too! Any word on that being an option as it already has the Bosch system for the rest? Wasn’t sure if it was solely a “from the factory only” option to get ABS. Saw your video about ABS and was sold and was really interested in the pole when I saw your original video a while ago. This just confirms my hopes. Thanks for the great content.

Great video Rob love this Pole should give you a discount code 😂

That rear linkage reminds me of the Honda dh bike from 15 years ago 👌🏻

I’ve been mulling a Pole for awhile. The new Onni is on the list. I’d do motor potentially, but not enough open e-bike trails here yet. Plus… I like the torture of pedaling.

A great looking bike that’s all aluminium who would of thought it. interesting review Rob i look forwrd to more .

Absaloutey love this ride ,I've been in contact with pole about getting one ,only issue was thd tax/vat into the UK, couple of grand extra on top of an already custom build ,plus 8k plus tax /vat over 10k as a matter of principle it's holding me from pulling the trigger just now. It's an incredible looking bike ,engineering/build options are fantastic .....Great review stunning bike

Awesome Review 💪🏾💯

Would love to see a gearbox on this setup. I'd buy tomorrow.

the bob part was impressive. i think this kind of tech should appear before the ebikes. this bike make me curious that if the frame is that stiff, for a rider like me (which broke 4 wheels within about 5month) it might be too harsh for the rear wheel on it. is it?

Great review and amazing footage. I'm curious, was that Snowdon you were climbing? I have done Snowdon on a bike and there was no way I could have cycled up it. It took us 3 and a half hours to push our bikes up it! Coming down was incredable though.

Awesome bike! I am between the Voima and the new Cannondale Moterra LT as well as that Unno Mith, but I really like the Voima being longer travel. You mentioned the bike to be top on the climbs and the descents but less nimble in tight trail sections? So it needs more body movement in the tight? Anyways, awesome bike! Is there any chance you getting the Moterra LT for a test ride? Cheers!

You are def using all of that travel up

This eMTB is very unique by look and geometry....!

This thing feels like a pagani huayra , on the weight issue with a lighter wheelset like dt swiss FR560, and XM481 and 240 or 180 hubs you'd drop a few hundred grams , and tyres also plus cassette , easily get this thing into the 23'skg range, and also carbon praxxis cranks - ebike approved.. Awesome bike no doubt.

Great video! How is it compared to your full power kenevo build?

Why did I watch this video?!?! I soooooo want one now 😢💸

Perkeele! thats the one Gold with the Bosh Race Motor, just need to rob the Bank 🤪

Superb review - many thanks. I have two questions, if you do not mind: 1. What is the location for the aerial/drone shorts of this stony trail (you climbed up and rode down)? 2. Do you know if the rear triangle could be set-up with a Rohloff Speedhub A12 hub (148x12mm axle)? Ideally I would run it this way with a Gates CDX belt equipped Rohloff Speedhub setup but let's take baby steps and first figure out if this hub is even an option.

Isn't your one then??? 🤔 U built one few months ago though....well anyway I was waiting for this video for long time 😅 R we gonna see soon as well a first impression video about the Decoy ncaged??? Keep making this quality video Rob please Greets from Austria

I like the idea of being super human up snowdon!

Any thoughts on this, Orbea Wild/Rise, and trek fuel? Relatively new but want something that can go distance on regular rides and transition into a bit of trail riding.

With non chainstay that bike seems perfect for a gearhub (kindernay Vii) and a gates carbon belt drive? Will that be in an upcomming video Rob? ;)

Hi Rob, Love your work! Have been watching your reviews for awhile now and very tempted to go with your opinion and buy one. I'm not at all skilled with mechanical ability. Can you please do more videos of this one? Which specs are you going for, Is NX vs GX worth the upgrade? How easy is it to assemble from delivery? Cheers. Nobbie

Very nice bike, the big and heavy kind, but doesn't feel like that when you ride it. The Pole Stamina looks even more stunning, next to each other. :). But that power (voima) is immense. Nomen est omen.

Please Pair the EXT coil with a Fox 40!!!!!!

Bonded, its glued.
