TEN Years of Pole Bicycles: Introducing the Trail and Gravity Platforms
At Pole Bicycles, we’ve reimagined the world of mountain biking with our innovative new platforms, each stemming from a mindset: Trail and Gravity. The Trail mindset is designed for those who want more from less – those who seek both comfort and performance, who desire a bike that can handle a variety of terrains with ease. The Gravity mindset is also for those who seek the thrill of the gnarliest terrains, who want to push their limits, and explore the boundaries of speed and skill.
For both the Trail and Gravity platforms, we offer three different builds that can be customized to perfectly suit the rider’s preferences. To make our bikes even more versatile, both platforms can be built with 29″ wheels or a mixed-wheel setup, commonly known as “mullet.” This level of customization allows our riders to build a bike that truly resonates with their style of riding.

Let’s dive deeper into these platforms and see how we challenge the notion that a bike’s purpose is defined by its travel.
The all new – GRAVITY PLATFORM
Our Gravity Platform is where you’ll find the new Sonni e-mtb and Onni DH bike. This platform is for those who seek raw speed and excitement, for riders who want to push their limits and evolve their skills to a new level. The Gravity platform emphasizes its dynamic riding characteristics, with its performance-driven design and progressive suspension, answering the call of the speed and thrill-seeking riders.

ALways Ahead
At Pole Bicycles, we believe in breaking the mold, both in terms of bike design and how we approach the very act of riding. We have seen a common misconception in the biking world: the idea that a bike’s purpose is defined by its travel. We challenge this notion with our Trail and Gravity platforms, each designed to suit a different mindset and style of riding, regardless of the travel.
They are all versatile
The beauty of our bikes is that they’re not limited to a single style of riding. Both Trail and Gravity bikes can be ridden hard or for everyday riding. Their versatility allows them to overlap in their riding spectrums, each adaptable to suit your riding style and terrain.
Both platforms will be available with a Motor-on (e-mtb) and Motor-off option, with three different customizable build options. The Trail Platform will come in Downduro, Enduro, and Trail builds, and the Gravity Platform will have DH, Downduro, and Enduro options. Now, you can really find that bike to match you and your riding.
Hollow sidewalls and Seamless Bonding
In addition, our unique approach extends to the manufacturing process. We challenge traditional bike construction methods, choosing to use aerospace-grade aluminum instead of carbon for our frames. We employ CNC machining to ensure a precision of just 0.01mm, and a Seamless Bonding Method, resulting in a bike frame that is both lightweight and robust. With Sonni we introduce hollow sidewalls to increase the stiffness-to-weight ratio around the battery opening. Our technology has several patents and patents pending as we are investing heavily to improve the value for money for our customers.
And we don’t just stop at the construction. We are committed to environmentally friendly practices, recycling every remnant from the milling process and utilizing sustainable alternatives to hazardous chemicals for finishing. We even offer a five-year transferable warranty on all our bike frames, which have been subjected to rigorous independent testing to ensure their robustness and reliability.
At Pole Bicycles, we are visionaries, continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in bike design and performance. We don’t believe in limits, and we create bikes that empower our riders to challenge those limits. No matter your riding style, your terrain, or your goals, we have a bike that will take you where you want to go—and beyond.
And that’s why, we’re always ahead.
Happy trails!
