I call absolute bullshit to that.

That would be how you would fo it if you were cash positive and loosing sales. You could see impending doom and exit before doom arrived. This is not that situation. They were fighting tooth a.nd nail to stay afloat and didn't make it through a tough patch.

How would you do it differently?

Until the point they pole filed for insolvency they would be acting as if the company would continue as a going concern. This is not a scam or unethical behavior. It is simply a struggling company lacking cashflow. The employees would not know that they were about to go bust other than suppliers...

Same. Though voima isn't the best on easy trails. There are better bikes out there for people that tootle easy tracks. Ideally the perfect set up for me would be a meld between sonni and voima. Kinematics and and rear centre if the sonni mixed with battery location, on bike charging and bottle...

If you like more pop then airshock. You can argue that bottom out performance is moot now with hydraulic bottom out control on coils. Foe me, I don't have a voima for pop. I have it to charge the gnarly. If I wanted pop I'd get a different bike. So.. . Coil is the way and the light for me.

That's more like it. Now go it some dh tracks with it.

Makes sense. Dh is about grip, crankworks is about pop and bottom.out

Yeah I looked at 190 ext and when i discovered 36mm stanchions i said NO!.... I have a 180mm fork 36 and the flex difference between that and the 38mm zeb was day and night. 36mm is too skinny for +170mm. Have you tried mullet Voima? it would be interesting camparison. One of my big gripes...

Love the bloopers at the end... I have to admit I'm a bit envious of your full fruit builds that are WAY out of my price bracket.

If not for weight savings then why? I dont get it. They compromised bottle placement, battery charging on the bike, increased the C of G heigh, added a catch point and made the bike ugly as sin. It makes no sense.

It was somewhere on the origin marketing guff. Maybe It was in one of Leo's video's.. the whole point of creating the dangling motor was to remove material and reduce weight.

24.7kg. Thats heavy. Only 300gram lighter than my voima and running coil rear. The toted 1kg lighter must be marketing hype. I'm keen to hear a review of the ext front shock compared to zeb ultimate. PS. Still cant get my head around the dangling dog ball motor. That would still be a deal...

Suck for you. What about a Crestline 75/50?

Been blowing through speed sensors. Maybe this sneaky routing will stop them the cable getting damaged.

Fair enough. If it's not impacting you then no harm no fowl. Sickness and machine malfunctions are also standard with manufacturing. It should all be factored into the schedule. Identifying critical path machery and building redundancy for that peace o kid is the key. As you can tell I'm...

Yeah, frustrating for those who have paid In good faith and have to wait... Thing is you can't speed up the machining. It takes what it takes. The only way is to extend factory hours, buy more machines or subcontract some of the workload out when orders exceed capacity. Either way they need...

Not cool. Pole seem to not be able to consistently manage schedule at stock holding. Mine was smashed out in a week then we hear of dudes waiting months and months.

Yeah, i get it re weight. Putting a tripple on will take the voima to almost 26kg. But you can get a slightly lower axle to crown height a tripple clamps than a big travel single crown

I'm running the 190mm front and rear. Back in the day I ran a Santa Cruz v10, 250mm rear end 200 front. I've ran my slayer 165 rear 180 front. Personally i prefer a bit more at the front than the back. What is important is to have matched performance front and rear. The v10 I had back...
