The Velduro Rogue wins gold at China Cycle 2026

Our Rogue eMTB has won gold in the creative award segment at China Cycle 2026 in Shanghai, and the Bay of Plenty Times and NZ Herald have just covered the story. That's back-to-back for us, after the Phantom e-gravel bike took the same award last year. With more than 800 entries in the mix, it's a result we're properly proud of.

Velduro's Dan Wallace put it plainly. "This is a huge win and something we are very proud of." The past 12 months have been, in his words, "crazy to say the least," and the award rounds out a year that's grown the brand faster than any of us expected out of little old Pāpāmoa.

Velduro bikes are now in 20 countries, with more than 2000 of them out on trails around the world. We're winning races in New Zealand, Scotland, Italy, Canada and beyond. As Dan says, "riders feel an affiliation with our New Zealand story and know that we are not a big corporation." That connection has driven the whole thing.

Closer to home, we've got more than 15 dealers across the country and a waitlist of 20 more, with around 400 Kiwi riders already on a Velduro. America is next on the list, and the goal from here is clear. We want to be a top-five global brand!
