Attention all trail schralpers. Ellsworth has introduced their clean, new Rogue 40. The carbon beauty is the shorter-travel offspring of the Rogue 60 and utilizes Ellsworth's ACTIVE Energy Efficient suspension design to get 140mm travel out back.
The 27.5-wheeled machine shapes up with a 67-degree head angle, 420mm chainstays and 342mm bottom bracket height. The Rouge is Shimano Di2-ready with its e-Den compartment in the downtube that seamlessly tucks away the battery without impacting the use of a dropper seat post. The Hex Taper Axle and Hex Taper Rocker Locker keep the bike stiff where it counts.
Ellsworth is offering the Rogue 40 in five different 1x build kit options, four of which feature Shimano drivetrains from SLX through XTR Di2 and one with a SRAM X01 drivetrain. All builds but the SLX use FOX 34 Float Factory forks that get 140mm of travel with Boost axle and FOX DPS Factory rear shocks. Race Face cockpits complement the build and all models of the Rogue 40 are spec'd with a spunky 35mm stem length. While DT Swiss wheelsets are stock, there is an upgrade option for carbon Reynolds wheels with color-matched stickers (as pictured) available on all models.
Coming in Medium, Large and XL, you can choose from Orange/Carbon (pictured), Red/Black/Carbon and Black/Carbon colorways.
