I’m in a big dilemma and don’t know what to choose, i can buy a brand new Rocky Mountain altitude c50 with decent specs for €3900 (one of my dream enduro frames) or i can buy a used Orbea rallon with really great specs for €3300, i really don’t know what to choose and need some help :)
That orbea looks like it’s never been ridden. That would be my choice.

If the Altitude is one of your dream frames go for it. Both bikes are great. The Rallon has a great spec, but you could upgrade the Altitude to your liking over time and sell the parts you’re replacing, especially if you plan on keeping the bike long term. I did the same with my GT Force. Loved the frame, didn’t mind the components, and upgraded it as I went.

The rocky already has an excellent spec and unless you are an experienced rider, you’re really not going to notice too much of a difference between that and the orbea’s components. I’d go new Rocky.

If the RM is your dream frame, get that one. As you ride, replace what it came with, with parts you prefer. Sell off the take off parts or keep them for another build after the altitude is everything you want

Rallon is a dream bike… requests involved riding but rewards it with crazy capabilities ! And this one looks mint

RM has a great warranty, the robes has zero warranty. If you’re worried about cost I’d go rocky. Plus the suspension platform is better on the rocky. Also x2 and fox transfers are both known to fail.
