Faded red color Load 60?

[Anders112]

Hey everyone.

I have a question for you All.
I got the New Load 60 with the belt drive in the red color.
But the color has faded alot and gone really Matt not the blank deep red anymore.
I have owned the bike allmost a year now. And to me it seems off that a painted color should fade so much after that short amount of time just look at brand New car painted color they dont fade after one year in the sun even.
Am i the only one with that problem or is it a commmon problem you see And what to do about it?

Anders,

Every painty will fade to some degree. Red is known to be more sensitive. If the bike was the yera around under extremely sunny condition, red would fade and/or turn to orange.

Hi there anders
This is a known issue with that paint color. Your R+M dealer should know about it. You cam get the bike repainted. So choose a fun color!

Unfortunately, they only let you paint it the same Sunset color if you want to take advantage of the warranty offer :c

:edit: apparently this is a regional restriction

We have done a couple of repaints and there was no restriction on color.
