Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI
- Thread starter Nomadic Dad
- Start date
Cool — one of the main things that people seem to miss with the DJI is that, even ignoring the power, the motor size & battery and its mounting orientation seem to have given designers the most room to package the bike well. This allows them to incorporate standard and idler setups with ease and create bikes that look bloody great. Even the latest Spec and Bosch motors still give bikes that pregnant big-belly look, with less space for vertically mounted long-travel shocks. All the DJI bikes so far visually look amazing!

I have requested interest on their Website form, I’m keen on a frame set option too
On MBR's socials there was a conversation about this - frameset option is supposed to be available, but not in the UK.
Have been following them for a couple of weeks and they are hoping to have a test sled up and running soon, with actual bikes due on the trails late this year/early next.
FYI, the gravel frame set is $7290NZD, so if they offer a frame option of the Rouge with no shock, maybe this will actually be an affordable ebike frame.
Fingers crossed.
Looks like there might be a flip chip on the rocker link, maybe high and low. Doesnt look like it would fit full 29, but would be awesome if it did.
Edit- It can be run 29/29 via the flip chip

DISRUPTORS FROM DOWN UNDER - Spoke Magazine
SPOKE talks to Kiwi company Velduro Bikes about developing the DJI-powered Rogue, why they're offering a frame-only option, and how they're beating the big players on price.

A bit disappointed in the lack of proportional chain stays, but aside from that looks good.

Looks like a really solid package. For what ever reason it doesn't get my heart racing with the looks. I cant say its ugly by any means. Just looks a little generic.
From my perspective. Non removable battery is a deal breaker. Also smaller batteries from dji would be nice. Imagine a 400wh dji? that would be a light bike!
Sizing is a longer than normal per size small 440 reach, medium 466 reach and large 485 reach. Typically large is 475 and medium hovers between 450 and 460.
I'll be keen to see them in the flesh a couple of the local lads are keen to get one.
Hurry up and wait now.

The Rouge with 172mm in mullet with 165mm 29.... somewhat similar travel frame mid high pivot impression to the Norco Range Vlt... that said the Rouge to its appealing motor package, lighter more powerful battery and yes, offered as a frame set....
When the Norco sight at 150mm dropped l was watching with interest mainly to the unraveling the newest Range.... That some leaked news sharing same frame fitted with a longer stroke shock offering 160mm....
The Rouges fits perfectly and as a frame set to paint up through what l have to make the build, curious on eye to eye shock length on this puppy, owning a bunch of 205 x 65 shocks.....
Eagerly awaiting Rouges shred-it testing, to lands of the long white cloud....

That pale yellow color is very unique. I like it.

+1 on the yellow, though I think that's the 3D printed material. Too many black frames.

205x65mm trunnion shock.

That's probably because Velduro licensed the same suspension platform that Trek runs on the eSlash and Norco's using on the HP Sight.
I'm really interested in the Rogue.

I was just going off of what they discussed in the YouTube video I watched. There’s one talking about all of the upcoming bikes running the DJI Avinox system.
In the video they said Velduro, Trek and Norco license the I-track suspension design, I’m not surprised Trek calls it something else.

Looks like they are doing some demo days in NZ in the comming months. I might turn up to one and throw my leg over it and have a ride

Ok, here’s another video also claiming the Rogue runs an I-track suspension platform like Trek and Norco.
