@rabitec (for some reason the forum wont let me reply directly to your question) The Fox X2 custom tune is: CL40, RL50, LMM, Rezi B40, Bleed 0.7, VVCM Its a slightly lighter but linear tune, so more suited to a progressive linkage design. The Rezi tune and bleed valve have also been adjusted...

I’m a little biased, admittedly, but here’s my honest take on the Velduro Rogue. I’ve tried to keep it as balanced as possible without slipping into full-blown Velduro fanboy mode… which, to be fair, is harder than it sounds. Enjoy!

This thread is for the general discussion of the Article Velduro Rogue Long Term Review. Please add to the discussion here.

Maybe you're right. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Bosch powered Focus in the near future. I'll have a back to back review in the coming weeks

The original plan was to sell the fleet in the Autumn regardless of mileage or condition, however due to the state of the bike industry we have only been able to purchase 7 new bikes from Vitus this year so the plan is to run a handful of last years bikes until we can get hold of further stock...
