Choosing a bike

Hi everyone

I’m planning a bikepacking trip from Norway to Japan and deciding between the upcoming Surly Ogre 2026 or a Brother Cycles frame. I recently posted and narrowed it down to these two. Which do you think is better?

I need something durable and versatile for mixed terrain, carrying heavy gear, and running tires up to 29×2.6. Any advice on wheel builds, hubs, or tire setup, or experiences with either frame on long tours?

Thanks
