MahtisonniStory
Behind Mahtisonni is Leo Kokkonen, a designer who has built an internationally recognized brand from scratch and taken his own product from idea to the world market. Twice.
Concept agency founder
Leo founded the Komia Design concept agency and delivered numerous marketing and design projects. Clients ranged from growth companies to publicly listed corporations. Komia continues on its own path today, and Leo's road led to making products.
Pole Bicycles is born
Pole started in Jyväskylä because the market had no bike Leo wanted to ride. The solution: design and manufacture it himself.
Geometry ahead of the industry
Pole's long and slack geometry thinking anticipated a shift the whole industry made only years later. Pinkbike's headline: "Now THAT was a bike."
The CNC-machined hollow frame
The Machine: a hollow, CNC-machined aluminum frame with no welds. Nobody else built frames that way. Roughly 80% of production was exported.
Hiisi, bespoke
A fully made-to-measure e-MTB. The frame is machined to the rider's dimensions in Jyväskylä. There are no sizes, just yours.
