I am about to pull the trigger on buying a 22FBS, 24RBS, or 27RBS (after I find a dealer where I can compare all three) but I have some concerns after reading many of the posts on this site. I know that no brand is perfect, but some common issues with the NT are alarming.
A number of people have experienced bent axles on the North Trails. Has the factory beefed these up or have any plans to? My luck is generally that something major will go wrong one week out of warranty. How much are we talking to replace the axles if it came to that?
There have also been other common problems with the fenders ripping off on the 24RBS, and delamination in various spots that are concerning.
Are these issues rare, or are they as prevalent as they seem by reading this forum?
Is there a more reliable brand to buy either within or outside the Heartland family?
Thanks for any feedback!
