The bike is an case in point of the upcoming growth of Pole’s suspension layout and employs the identical linkage as the impending eMTB that we noticed on social media in February.
Leo is at this time testing the suspension concept in Madeira and was in a position to give us a selection of details of the bike ahead of its launch later this year. The four bar linkage employs hollow bonded inbound links and is evidently the fruits of two years’ worthy of of enhancement. It is equipped to be utilised with eMTBs, typical drivetrains and, interestingly, gearbox bikes, something Pole hasn’t earlier explored.
Leo has also been putting up loads of pics of the new eMTB that employs the identical linkage design
The philosophy behind this bike was evidently “more is more” and that is the reasoning behind its 190mm vacation, creating it one of, if not the, longest journey non-downhill bikes heading.
Also sizeable is the headtube that will come with the 1.8” typical. This is a common we 1st observed at Eurobike in 2019 and, even though we have been originally advised it was implemented for aesthetic factors on eMTBs, Leo in fact sees a variety of performance pros to the regular as well, he reported:

Head tube is 1.8″ with ZS 66. With adaptor the bicycle can be ridden with 1.5″, and also twin crown. My consider on the 1.8″ is that stiffness is in close proximity to the twin crown without the need of the turning radius limitation. |

Leo couldn’t give us a comprehensive geometry run down at this time but some critical figures contain an 80° seat tube and a substantial bb. The bicycle can also apparently be run with 29”/29”, 27.5”/27.5” or mullet wheel sizes. Both bikes will be obtainable afterwards this calendar year.
