warick_wrx Posted August 24, 2023 Share I would say that due to exchange rates not many if any brand name imported goods are competitively priced. jakesvis@gmail.com and betaboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy Posted August 24, 2023 Share Competitive pricing can only exist if there is a market of brands, we don’t have that many. So even middle market fillers are considered high end purchases here. LOL. So I’d have to agree with 👆🏻! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalpel Posted August 28, 2023 Share Your local Cycles United shop will stock them. They will be the only shops if Cyctec is the importer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given their apathy towards the Norco brand, I don't think Cube will be making any impact at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappere Posted August 28, 2023 Share While Cube is known as a quality brand with excellent products, their distribution and customer experience in the South African market seems to take a blanket approach rather than addressing local needs. Their recent press release emphasised manufacturing prowess and brand reputation, with no indication of tackling pain points specific to the South African cycling community. To better serve this market, a more tailored distribution and engagement strategy may be needed from Cube, focused on understanding and meeting the unique requirements of South African riders.
