All I know is They look amazing.! Nicely specced

Same provider as Lyne components

So you know the after sales service will be spot on and you can be sure it hasn't been cobbled together without a huge amount of thought and testing

Dayle used to design bikes and suspension platforms for Silverback, so he knows his stuff

IMHO it looks like a fantastic buy

I thought I had exhausted every option and at the last moment after deciding on a Checkpoint I stumbled onto this bike.

Saw it in the shop yesterday and immediately handed over the credit card. The value is ridiculous but I would happily have chosen this over the Trek even if it wasn't cheaper. Checks every box (50mm+ clearance, 500% 1x gearing, quality stock rims and tyres etc), fits great and looks the business.

A friend of mine also bought one and he is very impressed, great bang for back.

I am kind of bummed that I bought a Giant Revolt and not the Outer Rora.  Nothing wrong with the Revolt, but I think I would have liked the Rora more.

So, does anyone here have actual riding time on the Outer Rora? Would love to hear opinions.

I bought Rora AL1 in December last year and brought it back to Saudi Arabia with me. I have a short commute of 10km round trip Sun-Thurs followed by a 60-70km Fri and 30-40km Sat every week since returning in Jan and could not be happier.

It is well spec'd, well priced and excellent build quality. This past Saturday's ride has been particularly rough so am considering a suspension stem but that's because of the route profile and not related to the bike itself.

It makes me happy to ride every time and I can't see any upgrade that would make a meaningful difference on an adventure category gravel bike.

If want a proper suspension stem that actually adds comfort then I strongly suggest the Vecnum, it’s incomparable to the competition, and is in a different league to a Redshift. Expensive but a worthy investment!
