Ellsworth Rogue Sixty frame and equipment
27.5in wheels and 160mm of squish put the Rogue Sixty directly in the enduro market. The geometry sits long, low, and slack, and the single ring Shimano XT crankset is helped by an MRP chainguide held on by ISCG05 tabs.

Rear end suspension action is handled by Ellsworth's Active Energy Efficient Suspension. It's the latest iteration of Ellsworth's ICT (Instant Center Tracking) design, which Tony Ellsworth has been refining for over 17 years.
It's a fully active, four-bar linkage that prizes traction and efficiency everywhere, especially over challenging, technical terrain where most riders typically coast.
