November 21, 201510 yr Hi All! The Vandal LR looks great. Has the same engine as the Combat, in a different chassis and has an electric start and a 3.4 liter fuel tank. I think this is a perfect trials bike for trial excursion.

November 22, 201510 yr Author as stated eleswhere , niche within a niche. I agree! Anyway i would buy one if I could. I think it looks great.
January 5, 201610 yr It depends on what type of back garden you have. It the netherlands a bike like that, like the free ride, explorer etc is really not usable. People will get a real enduro bike or a real trials bikes. In other countries I can imagine wanting a ''hybrid'' form. An e.g the Dutch police force uses Alps to train motorcycle cops because well those bikes are way lighter to pick up than a big bmw or honda! Edited January 5, 201610 yr by crazybond700
January 6, 201610 yr It may be a niche but in Spain and Italy it's a large and profitable one! Spain is on its a***, there is no big market for anything trials let alone a smaller part of it.

November 29, 20169 yr Same engine, EFI and probably not high end brakes and suspension. OK took the point But... What's the point having two different frames?????
November 30, 20169 yr Same engine, EFI and probably not high end brakes and suspension. OK took the point But... What's the point having two different frames????? My Opinion: The combat frame is deltabox (?) and protects the fuel tank with having frame rails on the outside of it. The vandal frame is more standard/conventional with frame "backbone" running under the fuel tank which would allow for having a larger fuel tank that "drapes" over the sides of the "backbone" and still maintain the low profile of the standard tank in the combat. Combat is for competition so higher possibility for crashing etc.. need protection. Vandal is more geared toward long(er) trail rides and the possibility for crashing is less.
