is their next insolvency pending… 🤣

Nope

Probably getting riders at a bargain, not a lot of options for a lot of these guys.

About two meters.

Number of bikes shouldn't matter. 1) The warranty rate is probably very low, all things considered. So your net cost is measured in the 4 digit range. 2) Transition has shown the world how warranty should work in a D2C (or hybrid) environment. It really isn't even that hard. Always make sure the customer is happy and make it easy for things to get fixed in a timely fashion. Again...its not hard.

Small housekeeping note: we recorded a pod yesterday on the whole YT kerfuffle, and I’m hopeful it drops soon. We cover pretty much everything y'all are talking about right now (except the part where I say “umm” and “you know” way too much… I’ll work on that 😬). One thing nobody touched, though, was this "ominchannel" sales disclosure. My two cents: I’d be shocked if Markus actually pulls this off. He’s already boxed in on margin and price point. I’ve written about this elsewhere, but if he raises prices, the bikes lose their appeal. At the same time, the company...

There was something said by one of the YT USA peeps that maybe Markus was looking to buy the USA inventory for cheap.. Maybe the the Jenson sale was a FU or they had to get rid of it ASAP if the lease was up on the building... Or, maybe making sure the money was there for the USA employees to get the final checks..

The Moir curse continues Hope he lands on his feet, he is a fantastic ambassador for the sport to the kids of Australia and in all my dealings with him over the years one of the nicest blokes you will ever meet. What you see in the videos is him in reality, a true legend.

TBF he's one of only a few enduro athletes that could be making a good living. His SM presence brings a pretty solid amount of business to whatever sponsor he's got, even if he's not outright winning races week in week out.

'cant promise he wont sell again' finally some transparency. the transparency of 'yes, ill absolutely do it again if i want to, deal with it' the weird thing is when he sold he didnt quite ride off into the sunset. and now hes gone through all the hassle of getting the company back. and took on the task of being the CEO during the events of every one getting sacked. this is awkward foot in foot out behavior. while i dont expect another PE-boom/covid-era to cause such a timeline again... saying he's open to doing all that again more or...

Really confused on what he means by more complicated warranty for jenson bikes but above that says Honor warranties? - “yes of course, 100% regardless of where you got the bike”. This doesnt make sense. Buying from jenson isnt a 2nd owner bike. Its still a brand new YT and warranty should be honored the same

VERY rough notes from the insta Q&A Markus says yt usa will comeback, claims yt usa was completely independent and not effected by insolvancy - they purchased bikes from company at cost of goods and sold them. He says they ran into their own problems "why did he sell, will he sell again?" After 12 years of hustle he sold in 2020 to get something out of it. Unsure if he’d sell company again, “sees raw diamond in front of him, wants to develop brand but can’t promise he wouldn’t sell again, but says not his plan or intention to...

it just puzzles me how the german community on mtb-news.de is celebrating and giving flossmann a pat on the shoulder, despite numerous hints about how he acted shady before and during the downfall of YT.

Now contrast how Flossmann treated the whole organization against Clint Speigel’s comments about how it’s his responsibility to keep I9 strong and solvent to insure stability for the employees.

Who would buy a YT at this point with The Floss at the helm?

If they got both, then good. If I’d have gone weeks/months with no money/bike I’d be pissed

YT Yuge Theft

after texi's retirement from racing the money has to come from somewhere... so why not from being a YT-shill ?! 🙄 how do people live without a backbone? at least now we know who's the only MOB-rider who got paid 😉

BREAKING NEWS!!! Drunk Teenager Promises Mom And Dad That Third Totaled Car Will Be His Last
