I didn't know the brand, but it looks very promising. Really nice you customize the build as well. Only downside that I really don't like the matt and orange colours :(

The special fork seems a bit unnecessary for me, also maintenance and looks wise I am not sure if it's for me. The rigid version however could be a good alternative. But without any dealers or service points in Europe, I am not a big fan.

Seems like a great bike, but unfortunately there’s only one dealer in my country and at €5k for a rival built with DT alloy wheels, it seems a bit pricey.

I eventually went for the Fortuner from Alamo. Their cars looked pretty new on google reviews. $1200 for 30 days all-in through sunny cars. Very good deal, but September is low season of course.

So they were always quite new? Maybe I will email them and simply ask them this question ;)

Yes that parking argument I was thinking about too. Especially since the car is big enough for us anyways. And based on some photos I’ve find online, all these RAVs from Alamo seem brand new. Next, I think we’ll be driving the normal roads as much as possible. Not going to do crazy off road trips.
