Oh there's no doubt in my mind the bike can handle the gnar. I took the one I borrowed on some entertaining tracks. I had additional entertainment because the brakes were backwards the frame 3 sizes to big and I couldent put the seat down anywhere near enough. Even so, so still rode it through some chunk.

Awesome! My bike is going to deliver on Thursday and I will build it up with my parts(AXS) on Sunday
Does the bike come with the chainring installed? Or did you take it off to mount a different one?I think I actually like all of the Voima posts in one thread better, with the exception of the why I didn’t buy a Voima thread. It’s much easier to see them in one place rather than subbing to multiple threads. Just my 2c.Just a reminder :
This main discussion thread was split out into several subject specific threads to make it easier for people to located information/answers. Most of these are Stickies at the top of the Pole section so they are always easy to find.
Voima Orders/Shipping Options
I ordered my Voima way back in July 2021 and was long wait of 10 1/2 months but at that point it was just a CAD render and prototype so wasn't expecting any time soon after? The rep in the UK Chris Wright has been really helpful in keeping me updated along the way. They've changed a lot of the...
Voima Fork Discussion
Here's mine - had it for about 5 weeks - best bike I've ever owned without a doubt!! Real nice. I assume you are running a newish fox40 in 29". What size frame? I notice the k2 and above have a really long headtube at 140mm which would appear to leave little room to fit a fox40...
The Voima coil shock thread
Do you know it’s progression? Seems to be a good mix of coil and air setups from customers... with people happy with both... the racers and sponsored riders mix it up too... but most seem to have settled on a coil.
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...
Voima. My Opinion matters. Why I didn't buy a Voima.
The Voima is quite a polarising bike. This thread is somewhere you can tell everyone your important opinion of why you didn't buy one or why you don't like it. Rather than trolling all the relevant threads.
Ultimate bike as a starter ahaha ;-)
Yea i have been looking at Orbea Rise but not been able to try it yet. Only tried a full powered Trek Rail 9 and I liked the power. Some people say "stay away" from Voima because it is complete DH and that is not what i am going to do 99% of the time.
I’d totally say the same about non-electric 190mm bike. I made that mistake once too and had a 200/200 bike with no real mountains within 1000km. It was miserable and expensive. So I speak from experience.
No, I just ordered the Frameset. All the other Parts are individual bought by myself.Awesome! My bike is going to deliver on Thursday and I will build it up with my parts(AXS) on Sunday
Good question. I recall seeing in a video that they’d send all sizes but my bike only came with the size matching the rotor. Maybe the frame only builds ship with more?
Last I heard they were only making 200mm adapters at this time.
Requested 223 after purchasing. Seemed odd that it wasn’t a question asked in the specifications interface. Kinda doubt they’d include all of them by default - that’s a lot of machining time to just give away, especially if folks aren’t even going to use 2 of them.
That's would be my worry, I'll just add 3mm spacers to the 200 mm
I’m a little worried that the new model is causing delays for those of us still waiting on our Voima orders. Like I feel like they’re using one or two of the cnc machines to make the Onni instead of the Voima’s. I hope im wrong and I get an email tomorrow letting me know that my frame is being assembled and shipped.
I think they’re still working through the different Voima sizes. Who knows though, I don’t see where the Vikkela fits in the lineup now with the Onni. Why offer a bike at 190 mm and a second at 200 mm travel? As a recent Voima buyer. I sure hope I don’t see an E-Onni anytime soon.
We’re in a brave new world of vertical design and manufacturing paired with Just In Time production for a small batch company. The whole “model year” thing is pretty much out the door - any required update (Voima chainstays for example) is likely to include many tweaks and changes as long as they are making adjustments to design anyway. This is all sped up and made even more fluid because of the direct CNC production (vs. carbon).
Is the rear tyre buzzing the swingarm repeatedly in corners? Odd intermittent rubbing noise.Not exactly chunky gnar, but Voima being ridden hard
No, that’s the rubber shredding the loamy and rocky dirt. There is too much tire clearance for the tire to be rubbing, and it would not sound like that. Also the rear rotor was making noise under braking too.
1.5mm spacers ;-) you only need to compensate radius, not diameter.
Beat me to it!
Great thanks very much. I was actually thinking of trying a TruTune insert as I'm struggling to get through the travel without running ~30sag. I'm ~72kg kitted up.
Same weight for me, no trouble using all travel here...
Yes I did a lower service before first use to clear out the excess grease in the air side.
I had a 31.6 dropper and emailed them about doing this on my original Voima and they said they did not recommend doing it. So I just bought the correct size so there were no issues.
