Pole Voima eMTB Review - Is It THE Best Climber? #loamwolf #emtb #polebicycles

The CNC machined frame, 190mm travel and unique geometry make the Pole Voima unlike the others, but how does it ride?
We put this long travel electric mountain bike to the test for a couple months, and it's time to share how it performed. It's safe to say this was an interesting bike to test!
THE DIRT
The Pole Voima is one of the more striking bikes on the market in terms of looks. From the machined frame finish, to the chunky monostay and unique linkage, and even the “sideways” shock, there’s a lot to process when you take a first look. Everything is finished very neatly, with hardware looking very clean and purposeful and no sign of the seam between the two bonded halves.
Setup | Getting the Voima set up proved to be quite easy – as it turns out, it’s not a particularly fussy bike that demands relentless fettling to get the best performance. After speaking with Pole founder and engineer Leo, I settled in a middle-of-the-range 28% sag to enjoy most of the long travel benefits without being too soft and isolating. Even still, this is not a bike that provides a lot of feedback to the rider, for better and for worse. I ran the fork stiffer than RockShox recommends, with 80psi for my 96kg/210 lbs dry weight. He recommended running compression wide open, which did seem to work best with the RockShox units at these pressures, allowing the fork to stay high in its travel for the most part, but allowing some “dive” when the front end was loaded to quicken the steering. For steeper trails some compression damping aided in confidence to prevent this diving sensation, but still I found myself on the open end of the compression range in the ZEB. The fork was set wide open for rebound too, which is presumably a fault somewhere as it shouldn’t have been the case, but was necessary to obtain a comfortable feeling return speed.
Climbing | The uphill prowess of the Pole Voima is hilariously good, with a balance between the wheels and ground clearance that had me regularly laughing at how much easier it is to climb challenging ascents than anything else I’ve ridden.
