Field Test: Unveiling the Allure of Pole Onni and Unno Burn

The Pole Onni is a unique enduro/DH bike with a distinctive aluminum frame cut from blocks instead of tubing. It features a dual-link suspension design and can transform into three modes: downhill, "down-duro," and a 160mm travel enduro model. The bike offers good climbing performance with a steep seat tube angle and even weight distribution. However, the stiff frame and high bottom bracket make it challenging to find grip and stay planted during descents. The Onni lacks small bump compliance and bottom-out resistance, requiring an attentive and strong rider. Despite its drawbacks, the bike offers versatility and can be configured as a downhill race machine.
