Pole EVOLINK 140

Long, longer, and then Pole Bikes. The Finns are serious advocates of radical geometry, leaving the bike world polarized over the outcome.

Known for their extreme approach to geometry, it was not all that surprising to see the Finnish brand Pole displaying what was surely the longest bike on show at EUROBIKE. While the EVOLINK 140 might only offer 140 mm travel, its ultra long frame and oh-so-slack head angle have the propensity to make many downhill rigs look outdated. For the new year, Leo and his team at Pole have revised the rear end, making it stiffer and relying on variable inserts to render it Boost and non-Boost compatible. Pole are keen to create this particular foldable bike with such eye-popping geometry in carbon, and they’re on the hunt for investors for this purpose.

Pole give the choice of internal or external cable routing.

The additional stays at the rear are designed for more rigidity.

Once as long as a Bentley Continental, it just takes one hand motion to fold the Pole into the size of a Smart ForTwo.

Thanks to an optional insert in the rear end, the bike can either ride a Boost standard-sized hub or a regular rear wheel.
