RODOGRAU Make Your Bike Unique
The complete guide to motorcycle customization, depenada stripping, painting, and workshop features in RODOGRAU 2.0.
Welcome to the RODOGRAU 2.0 Customization and Depenada Guide. Personalizing your motorcycle is one of the most satisfying aspects of the game, allowing you to transform stock bikes into unique rides that reflect your style. This guide covers every customization option from basic painting to full depenada stripping.
What is Depenada?
Depenada (literally “stripping” or “peeling”) refers to the process of removing parts from a motorcycle to create a customized, aggressive look. In Brazilian motorcycle culture, depenada bikes—often called “naked” or cafe racer style—prioritize visual impact and stunt performance over stock appearance.
In RODOGRAU 2.0, depenada is a core customization feature. Removing fairings, mirrors, tail sections, and exhausts not only changes how your bike looks but can also affect its handling characteristics, making some bikes significantly better for wheelies in depenada configuration.
The Garage Workshop
The primary location for motorcycle customization is the physical garage in the Francisco Morato area of the map.
How to Access the Garage
- Spawn or find the motorcycle you want to customize
- Ride to the garage in the Francisco Morato district
- Enter the garage in reverse (de ré)
- The customization menu will appear automatically
The garage provides access to the full range of customization options including paint, kit modifications, and depenada parts removal.
Portable Workshop (/ofc)
For players with the workshop gamepass, the /ofc command summons a portable workshop that provides customization access anywhere on the map. This is especially useful for:
- Quick paint changes after acquiring new motorcycles
- Modifying bikes found far from the physical garage
- Workshop roleplay scenarios in different locations
Type /ofc in chat to activate the portable workshop when you have the gamepass.
Painting Your Motorcycle
Color customization allows you to personalize your bike’s appearance with a broad palette of paint options.
Paint Options
The garage workshop provides access to a full color picker and preset palettes. Popular choices in the community include:
- Matte black — Aggressive, stealthy appearance popular for depenada builds
- Racing red — Classic sport bike color with high visibility
- Custom metallic — Shiny finishes that catch light during wheelies
- Two-tone schemes — Separate colors for body and accents
Tips for Paint Selection
Consider how your color choice complements your helmet and character customization. Community events and seasonal updates sometimes introduce exclusive color options.
Depenada — Stripping Your Bike
The depenada process removes factory parts to create a stripped, aggressive motorcycle profile.
Parts You Can Remove
Depending on the motorcycle, you can typically remove or modify:
- Front fairing — The main bodywork covering the front engine area
- Rear section (traseira) — The tail unit and seat cowl
- Mirrors (retrovisores) — Handlebar mirrors
- Front and rear fenders — Wheel covers
- Exhaust system — The muffler and pipes
- Windscreen — The front fairing’s windshield section
Popular Depenada Configurations
The most popular depenada builds follow these patterns:
Full Depenada: Complete removal of all fairings and non-essential parts. Results in the rawest, most aggressive look and often the lightest weight configuration. Recommended for riders focused purely on stunt performance.
Streetfighter: Removal of front fairing only, keeping the tail section. Creates a balanced look between aggression and completeness. Popular on sport bikes like the CBR650R and Yamaha XJ series.
Cafe Racer: Tail section removed with minimal front work. Creates a classic racing aesthetic popular on Honda and Yamaha models.
Which Bikes Depenada Best?
Not all motorcycles benefit equally from depenada:
- Honda Africa Twin Depenada — Removing the fairing transforms this adventure bike into a serious stunt machine, significantly improving wheelie performance
- BMW R1250GS / R1300GS — Stripping creates an adventure-naked hybrid with distinctive character
- Yamaha XJ Series — Already a popular base, depenada makes the XJ even more agile
- KTM Duke Models — Lightweight by design, depenada enhances their aggressive styling
Kit Modifications
Beyond stripping, the garage allows adding various kit components to modify your bike’s appearance:
Available Kits
Different motorcycle families have specific kit options. Common kits include:
- Titan 24 / 25 kits — Popular modifications for Honda Titan-derived bikes
- Body kits — Additional aerodynamic or aesthetic pieces
- Exhaust upgrades — Visual modifications to the exhaust system
- Lighting modifications — Changes to headlight and taillight appearance
Custom Parts (/peca, /peca2)
Some versions support additional part customization through chat commands:
- /peca — Access additional part options
- /peca2 — Alternative part configuration
These commands supplement garage customization for players seeking maximum personalization.
Christmas and Seasonal Modifications
During holiday events, special themed modifications become available:
December 2025 Features
The Christmas update brought seasonal motorcycle options alongside the regular customization menu. Players prepared their bikes for holiday events with:
- Festive color options in the garage
- Special kit combinations reflecting holiday themes
- Decorated workshop environments
Seasonal content typically appears during the weeks surrounding major holidays, particularly Christmas and New Year.
Depenada for Performance
Beyond aesthetics, depenada serves a practical purpose in RODOGRAU: improved performance.
Weight Reduction
Removing fairings and components reduces the motorcycle’s weight, which:
- Makes wheelie initiation easier
- Improves acceleration response
- Enhances maneuverability at lower speeds
Visual Feedback
With less bodywork covering the engine and mechanics, depenada bikes create more dynamic visual feedback during stunts. Sparks from exposed components, engine visibility, and the raw mechanical aesthetic make wheelies more impressive.
Community Standards
The depenada culture runs deep in RODOGRAU’s community. During group rides (comboios) and events, well-executed custom builds often attract attention and serve as conversation starters. The workshop and depenada process are central to community culture.
