Integrated tubular struts provide additional stability and the C-rails on the roof make it very easy to mount accessories. The quilted headliner is equipped with insulating foam. From the 2019 season, the Icarus will also be made with the two-layer 400g/mm Riplock tent fabric that is used in the other Alu-Cab tents.
