Comboios & Group Rides Guide

Welcome to the RODOGRAU 2.0 Comboio and Group Rides Guide. Some of the most memorable moments in RODOGRAU come from riding with other players—organizing convoys through the city, performing synchronized wheelies on the highway, or simply cruising together through the map. This guide covers everything you need to know about group riding culture in RODOGRAU.

What is a Comboio?

Comboio (Portuguese for “convoy” or “train”) refers to a group of players riding together through the RODOGRAU map. Combos can range from small groups of friends to massive organized events with dozens of participants.

The culture of comboios is central to the RODOGRAU community. Group rides showcase custom motorcycles, demonstrate advanced techniques, and create social experiences that solo gameplay cannot match.

Domingrau — The Sunday Tradition

Domingrau (literally “Sunday Grau”) is a beloved community tradition where players organize large group rides specifically on Sundays. These events have become iconic within the RODOGRAU community.

How Domingrau Works

Community organizers, often YouTube creators or Discord community leaders, announce Domingrau events through social media and group channels. Players gather at designated meeting points and ride together through the map.

The Sunday timing reflects real-world Brazilian motorcycle culture where weekend group rides are a social institution. Domingrau events typically feature:

  • Large participant numbers (sometimes 50+ riders)
  • Synchronized wheelie displays on the highway
  • Route planning through interesting areas of the map
  • Community photography and video documentation

Typical Domingrau routes include:

  1. Highway departure — Groups gather at rodovia entry points
  2. São Bernardo passage — Through the wheelie avenue for demonstrations
  3. Coastal cruise — To the beach area for scenic riding
  4. Return via urban routes — Through city streets and Brazilândia

Organizing Your Own Comboio

Finding Participants

Before organizing a comboio, ensure you have enough interested players:

  • Announce plans through the O Recomeço RDG group wall
  • Use Discord or other community platforms to coordinate
  • YouTube creators often attract participants through video announcements
  • Start small with friends before scaling up

Route Planning

A well-planned route enhances the experience:

  • Include a variety of environments (highway, urban, coastal)
  • Plan rest stops for players to regroup
  • Identify wheelie-friendly sections for demonstrations
  • Consider the technical abilities of participants

Leading the Group

As the lead rider, your responsibilities include:

  • Setting a pace appropriate for all skill levels
  • Using signals to communicate turns and stops
  • Ensuring new riders can follow the route
  • Maintaining safety during highway passages

Group Ride Etiquette

Communication

Use the in-game chat for basic coordination. In organized events, Discord voice channels provide better real-time communication.

Wheelie Demonstrations

Group wheelies (where multiple riders perform wheelies simultaneously) are a highlight of comboios. These should only be attempted:

  • On wide, clear sections of highway
  • When all participants are experienced
  • At speeds appropriate for the group
  • With adequate spacing between riders

Respecting Other Players

Not everyone in the map wants to participate in your comboio. Be respectful of other players’ experiences and avoid blocking traffic or disrupting others’ gameplay.

Private Server Comboios

For organized events, private servers offer significant advantages:

Benefits of Private Servers

  • Full control over server settings and participants
  • Ability to place props (ramps, cones, paredao walls) using the gamepass feature
  • No interference from unrelated players
  • Custom event scenarios and challenges

Server Hosting

The September 2026 update expanded private server hosting options. Hosts can:

  • Customize gameplay parameters
  • Place props for stunt courses and roleplay scenarios
  • Create obstacle courses using traffic cones
  • Set up police checkpoint roleplay areas

Passenger Feature (Garupa)

The May 2025 update introduced passenger animations allowing additional players to ride along on motorcycles.

Using Garupa

When riding a motorcycle that supports passengers, other players can mount behind the main rider. Animated poses include:

  • Pointing directions — Passenger can indicate turns and route
  • Phone recording — Hands-free filming from the passenger position
  • Holding on — Standard riding pose for normal transportation

This feature adds depth to group experiences, allowing passengers to document rides or participate without their own motorcycle.

Community Events Beyond Domingrau

Update Celebrations

Major game updates often inspire community events where players gather to explore new content together. These events coincide with:

  • New map area introductions
  • Motorcycle pack releases
  • Seasonal holiday celebrations

Mechanic Roleplay Events

The mechanic and workshop culture in RODOGRAU extends to organized events where players:

  • Demonstrate depenada techniques
  • Show off custom motorcycle builds
  • Share workshop tips and customization discoveries

Recording and Sharing Group Rides

Screenshot Feature

Shift plus C captures screenshots during wheelies, allowing dramatic photography without interrupting the action. This feature, added in 2026, is particularly valuable for documenting group ride moments.

Video Recording

YouTube creators frequently record comboios and publish the footage. Community members contribute clips from their perspectives, creating comprehensive event documentation. Popular formats include:

  • Full event recaps from the lead rider’s view
  • Passenger-mounted footage showing the convoy from behind
  • Highlight compilations of best wheelies and moments

Sharing Your Build

Group rides are ideal for showcasing custom motorcycles. A well-executed depenada build or creative paint job attracts attention during comboios. Consider your build’s presentation before joining major events.

Finding Active Communities

YouTube Creators

Several YouTube creators regularly organize or document group rides:

  • Rian David01 — Frequent comboio content, Domingrau events, mechanic and customization videos
  • Rodograu Rbx — Update showcases and community event documentation
  • Kelvin Blox — Roleplay scenarios and group gameplay
  • Pitzin blox — Beach trips, roleplay events, and scenic group rides
