The Veldruro Rogue is the next E-MTB with DJI Avinox and is based on a clearly downhill-orientated concept. As an E-Enduro with high-pivot rear suspension, it stands out from many current DJI bikes - because this suspension solution in combination with the DJI Avinox drive is still rare. You can find all the important information about the bike here.

The DJI Avinox is currently dominating the bike industry. The new e-bike motor from China has quickly become the most talked about product in the bike world. The enormous power and low weight set a new benchmark. In tow: a host of new e-mountainbikes. Velduro is a completely new brand entering the market. Two New Zealanders and a Chinese rider want to take off with the E-Enduro Rogue.

The full carbon frame lays the foundation for a powerful downhill E-Enduro. The rear triangle with a high pivot point and chain deflection, which should provide between 165 and 172 millimetres of suspension travel depending on the setup, is striking. Velduro speaks of a "mid-pivot design". The progression of the rear suspension as well as the wheel size in the rear triangle (29 or 27.5 inches) can be adjusted using various flip chips.

Full power, long range

With the Avinox drive from DJI, Velduro has opted for what is probably the hottest e-bike motor at the moment. As with most other Avinox bikes, the battery is also permanently installed on the Rogue. The bikes come with the large 800-series battery, but the smaller and lighter 600-series can also be fitted as an option. Speaking of weight: Velduro gives the total weight of the bike as 23.6 kilos for the top model. The downhill-orientated equipment puts pressure on the scales - and Velduro seems to be working with realistic weight specifications here. With some other DJI bikes, the exuberant weight claims of the manufacturers turned out to be exaggeratedly light.

CONCLUSION Velduro Rogue

We haven't had the newcomer in our hands yet, but the bike is definitely exciting! After all, Avinox bikes with an enduro focus have so far been the exception rather than the rule. The price tag on the Rogue remains comparatively fair. - Florentin Vesenbeckh, Test Editor BIKE Magazine

Florentin Vesenbeckh has been on a mountain bike since he was ten years old. Even on his very first tour, he focussed on single trails - and even after more than 30 years in the saddle of an MTB, these are still the quintessence of biking for him. He spent his youth competing in various bike disciplines and later his cycling career was characterised by years as a riding technique coach. Professionally, the experienced test editor now focusses on e-mountainbikes. In recent years, the qualified sports scientist and trained journalist has tested over 300 bikes and more than 40 different motor systems in the laboratory and in practice.
