I wont say its dead Mr. The average ratio over the last 3 years is 80/20, but if find that we need more Scale bike we order from our main warehouse in Belgium and will have it in SA as soon as 14 days after ordering. If any individual would like ANY SCOTT product they can order it from local Scott dealer and then we will be able to do special import at minimal cost. Hope this make sense.

DJuice Posted June 18, 2021 Share Been reading a few marketing material, articles and reviews, Scott trying very hard to distance the internal shock from Bold, not sure why, own it, it is your company and with that IP. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJuice Posted June 18, 2021 Share There a few factor in play, covid, shipping cost, supply delay, demand... This time last year the ZAR was at R17.43, this morning around R14.10, I do not see this reflected in the price. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what we hear from the bike industry in SA and beyond in terms of rising input costs (manufacturing, components, freight, etc.) comparing the 2022 Scott pricing with 2021 models is pleasantly surprising. Most brands and manufacturers are warning of significant price hikes looming for 2022. As @JoggiePrinsloo mentions the exact model specifications must be considered, but as an example: Scott Spark RC Comp 2021 currently available for R65k, 2022 indicative RRP R69.9k.

Not sure what industry you're in, but try to source, manufacture and get a product to market, especially now, especially in SA. The bike industry isn't the only one facing this problem. For an emerging economy like SA this will always be a challenge, we have a volatile currency so no matter what it's difficult enough to manage supply chain along with exchange rate on trading currencies like the dollar. On top of that we're a relatively small market on balance compared to a lot of other markets. All things considered the bike industry SA actually does ok with supply and pricing, often despite itself . There is value and we are a resilient market with growth potential and we manage to punch above our weight somehow. We also have better choice options than a lot of other markets.

Hope this make sense. 100% and fully understand the supply vs. demand for the different markets. I’m at old school MTB rider and every time I ride a HT I feel like I’m home. In saying that, I only own a Spark now and sold my last HT a Scale a good few years ago and got a road bike. I’m convinced the current cycling industry is trying to convince roadies that a gravel bike is cool and traditional. In a few more years, they will all realise they riding a MTB Hardtail ???? _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
