Champion, Valentino Rossi's VR46 brand has released its first mountain bike in the form of the Terra eMTB.

Previously Valentino Rossi's VR46 has released clothing, merch and kids bikes with the legendary rider's branding, but now it has branched off into eMTBs. The VR46 Terra uses an aluminum frame combined with 160mm of travel and Bosch's CX motor. At launch it will be offered in the Terra Pro and Terra Limited models. The Terra Limited will come signed and numbered by Valentino Rossi as well as featuring a higher level of components.

The Terra Pro will feature Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate and Super Deluxe coil suspension, Fulcrum e-Metal wheels and SRAM GX drivetrain with Guide RE brakes. The top-level Terra Limited sees a big bump in spec as it uses Ohlins suspension, carbon FSA cranks with an Ochain device and SRAM's GX AXS drivetrain.

Can you tell whose frame it is? beyond that all MTBs are just a raid on OEM components aren't they?

Absolutely, even the frame is often generic or very very close to some others. But I think it's not one I've seen before. It's quite Trek in its looks though

It seems to come in various specs, from club racing to MotoGP spec.
