Akropovik 2015 and 2017on

[Adst]

when thinking of changing to a 2019 Crossrunner from my 2015 .. I thought swap the Akro onto new one ... but no they are apparantly different ( different model no ) and the new one is euro compliant the old one not ..hence if you do swap you may (will) void your warranty ( so says one dealer ) and not another who was happy to charge to swap ( and offer 700 less for trade in) any one out there heard any different tales?

I think the main differnce is that on a Euro4 bike the dB-killer must be welded in (or at least not easy removable). Apart from that I doubt there is any difference.

interesting reply .I am sure you are most likely right .but if that is all then surely it would not affect warranty?

I guess the dealer is just covering his arse, for the unlikely event something goes south.
Or he just wants to sell u a new exhaust.

Haven't u got the original exhaust from your '15 cr, u can do the swapping yourself.

yep probably both right but tbh not being pushy so decision is mine ..may still just keep the 2015 ..only done 26k so just run in!

My 2015 also has 26k (miles) on the clock, but I can't think of a reason to trade it in for a new one. And normally I'd buy a new/other bike every 2 or 3 years.

exactly my thoughts...26k in netherlands easier to do ...Germany / Denmark / Norway for weekends! or just flat daily commutes? ... either way the crosser does it easy!
if you come over to uk I can show you our lanes of Kent and south east coast !....

Norway for weekends is quiet optimistic (unrealistic even!).
But where I live is a rather uninspiring part of the Netherlands. Germany, Belgium and even France are quiet close and fun to drive, and we don't have to book a ferry...
That said, I do like biking in the UK, have been to Cumbria, yorkshire dales, peak district, dartmoor, exmoor, cotswolds, norfolk broads etc. over the last 10 years. It is a very lovely country! I know not all of Britain is great (I've been to Blackpool and Isle of Sheppey as well....) but still.

Would be nice to have a crossrunner doooooo and rideout in Kent.

Sheppey! even I need a visa to go there! but there are nice bits !
yes agree Norway not for weekend ..i stopped at hamburg before doing Denmark and the ferry kristiansand hirtshals
