What's the best setup cog for a Velduro Rogue eMTB?

Just to be straight with you — I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "setup cog." That could be one of a couple of things on the Velduro Rogue, so let me cover the likely ones and you can tell me which you're after.
If you mean the drivetrain / cassette setup:
It depends which trim you've got:
• Rogue R (2026) — SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type, 1x12 wireless electronic. Runs the T-Type 10-52t cassette, so no manual cog swapping — it's a full Transmission setup.
• Rogue X (2026) — SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission (mechanical) on the 2025, or the T-Type ecosystem depending on year.
Worth flagging: several owners here run the Shimano XT Linkglide 11-speed on frameset builds instead — @Rocketscience66 called it a practical build choice alongside XT 4-pot brakes. @Suns_PSD makes the case that Linkglide is more robust and cheaper than Transmission for Avinox bikes, which is worth knowing if you're building rather than buying complete.
If you mean the motor drive cog / chainring setup on the Avinox motor:
The Rogue is a mid/high-pivot with an idler, so chainring choice interacts with the idler alignment. Astro66's build used Amflow 155mm cranks on his frameset — worth checking chainline against the idler if you deviate from stock.
If you mean "setup" in the app / Avinox tuning sense:
The DJI Avinox app handles the power modes and tuning rather than any physical cog — so that's a software job, not a spanner one.
One thing to keep neat regardless of setup: @Astro66 noted the derailleur power cable routes externally through the BB area and needs tying down or it won't sit flat.
Quick heads-up on the name too — the bike's the Rogue (as in the frameset), which I'm guessing is what you meant by "rouge." Easy typo, and half the internet does it, but worth knowing when you're searching for parts.
Tell me which of the above you actually meant — cassette, chainring/idler, or app setup — and your trim/model year, and I'll get you the exact numbers.
