Kross Esker build quality?

Hi! I’m in the process of buying a new gravel bike and I’ve been looking at the Kross Esker 6.0. On paper it ticks pretty much all my boxes: 2x drivetrain, 50 mm tire clearance, plenty of mounting points for bags, and it’s available to order through my local bike shop, which is a big plus.

The only thing holding me back is the brand itself. Kross isn’t very popular, at least not where I live, and from what I’ve seen in previous years the build quality has been a bit questionable. Hard to know if that’s still true or just outdated impressions.

Does anyone here have experience with Kross gravel bikes?
How’s the frame quality, durability, and overall finish?
Any long‑term issues I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!
