Patiently waiting for my Rallon to turn up (I'm in the UK). Delivery date is early November.

Has anyone had their bike arrive? Feel free to share pictures, eager to see what colour schemes & spec people have gone for.

This is the spec I've gone for:

Dude I’ve ordered exactly the same spec!
Being built Nov 1st apparently, what size did you go for?

Hi both, have either of you ridden the Rallon? I'm looking at one for my next bike too so would love to hear any thoughts on how it rides? Thanks

Went for the XL as I'm 6"0 with long arms

Haven't rode it! Took a gamble based on the geometry, components and reviews

Shame it's only available as a 29'er. Looking for a new enduro bike, but doesn't want to buy blind again this time.

After trying one in August I ordered one in black. Its an amazing bike. It doesnt feel or look like a 29er

So many color options... Just dont know which one tho do... I do like the dark violet pictured above, but since you can customize it, its hard to go for it...

Went for the stock purple because customisation added a couple of months onto the delivery date. In hindsight I probably wouldn't have minded waiting because I'll be riding my hardtail throughout the winter anyway.

Whats the delivery time for stock compared to custom?

Hi gp999 and the guys who've ordered one, I too have ordered same one m10 with upgrades. Im not sure what size coil will come on the bike but I asked for a 300lb spring for my weight.
I managed to ride the basic m10 model and in comparison to my rallon x10 2016 it's a beast it just rolls over stuff, handles well and super stable and that was in the higher setting! cannot wait to get mine first week in January.
