428 others Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I was wondering when they'll be on the new bike...
Suidwes Boytjie Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 These are top class riders and it will be sad to see them without a bike sponsor... nonky 1

Buell Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Not a good one. In my opinion it's coming down to pressure that the bike companies/wholesalers in South Africa are starting to feel on bike sales, and they are having to start cutting costs. The sport is really becoming expensive and is currently going in the direction of the "Elite Few" that can afford the prices and this is causing new bike sales to slow down, so companies have to cut back on the spending at the moment till the wheels starting turning again.That's just my opinion Mopkop, Mongoose! and nonky 3
Skinnyone Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I agree with Buell, times are tough for every one - here is an opportunity for the pro's to ride a mid-top end bike instead of always wanting to ride the very top end high priced model - that the stores are battling to sell... IMHO the guys could do just as well on an XT/XO spec bike as a full on XTR/XX1 Eagle group...its a mindset thing more than anything... The bike sponsors could benefit in that they are not making a R150k + (at their cost) bike a used "ex-demo" bike that if they get R50k for they are lucky...one way to cut down the costs? Oh wait - the pro's couldn't possibly be seen dead on a lower spec bike... Mongoose! and Long Wheel Base 2

nonky Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Not good news for pro-mtbiking in SA. RECM gone and now Scott LCB too. Suppose they'll all be "Spur people" soon. Suidwes Boytjie 1
