    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Yes. The normal vinyl is quite thin and would easily get chipped off road. The invisiframe should be much faster to apply, if it weren't for the fact I need to adapt the L kit to my M frame ;) Thankfully it seems relatively straight forward everywhere except the steering tube area

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Finished. Took me much longer than I originally estimated (~8 hours) but being the first vinyl wrapping job I made a ton of mistakes at the beginning and had to restart a few times. Quite pleased with the result, all things considered. Now I need to cut the new decals, re-assemble the whole...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    There are a few things I find debatable of this review: 1) the "I recommend sizing up" while the person also suggested the bike is difficult to manual and hop. I think it would have been ideal for them to also test a medium and compare. We know other people raved about the playfulness of the...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    My wrapping job is progressing... Very slowly. Learning as I go along as I never did dry wrapping vinyl before. It's satisfying though and it can always be reverted :) Next time I try it won't have the overlaps in the middle!

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    @TheBikeStudio thanks for this, super useful and something I wished @Velduro Global HQ @Velduro UK published on their websites (they didn't mention it to me when I reached out to them in October looking for shock recommendations). by comparison, my off the shelf Fox X2 (bought directly from...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    You said you saw a significant improvement after getting the X2 shock tuned by Fox per Velduro tuning recommendations. Can you share more details of the tuning profile? I bought the X2 shock independently from Velduro so eager to know more Thanks

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    3M VHB should do the job but I have not tried it yet. either the 5952 https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40065688/ Or the LSE-110WF https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5005036160/ ...Adding zip ties would make it even safer but really ugly. the rear chainstay is very large very soon compared to...

    Looks like a shorter travel version of the rogue to me

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Finally testing the right size for you Rob? Curious to hear your opinion ne about the rear suspension - is it at the level of the Nikolai 4 bar with belt drive/mgu? I am collecting my rogue next week, I can't wait :)

    Enjoy the bike in Finale and send photos of the build! I am leaving this afternoon for two weeks so no bike for me for a while :(

    Velduro sizing

    I am 177 and I demoed a medium. It felt a tad compact but so playful and capable that I bought it. I made the mistake of oversizing once in the past and I regretted it. I was in the medium/large borderline for Velduro according to feedback from others here. I am still waiting for the frame...

    Upper body protection

    Check out the new Met/bluegrass venture vest that was presented this week at Sea Otter I broke my ribs twice falling on my bike this is the one I am intending to buy for this season.

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    +1000 I also considered Unno Mith and Crestline before putting my money on Velduro last winter. The Rogue was the only one giving me enough saddle drop to comfortably face steep stuff that I have been chickening out of on my older bikes. Surely it's a bit heavier and does not look as nice...

    eMTB to analog conversion - bottom bracket (e.g. Avinox)

    Hi all, now that Avinox had confirmed M2* fits in same frames as M1 and now that they are launching on 60+ bikes... Surely there is some higher interest in developing a bracket to convert an eBike to analogue? I would personally love taking my e-Enduro to lift assisted parks shedding ~5-7Kg (of...

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    The length of the FP700 battery pack was published by Avinox on their website as 558.5 interestingly this is a tad too short for 7x4680 modules but let's assume they can cram 7 of them. These guys claim 97Wh nominal per module...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Thanks Rob, I recall from the graphs posted a while back the chainstay elongation through travel was -12mm in prg at ~mid of travel range. So it must be a sensibly shorter seat stay... I assume it also changes the head and seat angles .. looking forward to new geo measurements and ideally...

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    Thanks for sharing - i am an engineer and this is by far the best source of info for me I have read today about the new motor (no disrespect to our honourable host Rob who makes super accessible and yet informative content). The Thermal performance graph says it all about how vastly superior...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    now that we can talk openly about it - @Velduro UK @Velduro Global HQ @Rob Rides EMTB - can you share any insight as to whether: - the chainstay length is the same across all frame sizes - if not, how are the different lengths achieved (I find it hard to believe that a new mold for the rear...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    I bought my frame from what I think is Swiss first (and only?) retailer: Veloeggae in Einsiedeln. Two weeks ago the owner told me that deliveries were planned for end of month and this is still reflected in their website. I have not spoken with him since but I don't believe this has changed...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Thanks for confirming Rob! I wish they also included an option to swap the charger for the 12a one instead of having to buy a second one. Oh well one can't have everything :) Can't wait to collect the frame, somehow here we ended up in the tail end of the European first wave of deliveries :-/
