10/8/2025 11:19am It's particularly relevant because you know they're going to do the exact same thing to their bike park offerings. Honestly I think Vail is destined to charge$150-200 CAD for a Whistler day pass, they just don't want to deal with the public perception backlash by doing it all in one go. But from a business standpoint, if they can get...

I know this is the bike econ thread... but it's great to see other outdoor industries doing their damn best to squeeze more money from the same customers. Well done all. While skier visits are down, they’ve been able to price their products to the point where they’re still making more revenue than the year prior. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2025/10/07/changes-vail-resorts-2025/

I really hope "reboot" is a pun and they're releasing some mtb shoes. ...not because I need/want anything like that from WolfTooth; more because I want the clue to be THAT on-the-nose.

Here's the official word from KHS: KHS distribution to close (unless buyer found) Published October 8, 2025 RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, Calif. (BRAIN) — The KHS U.S. distribution business will close at the end of the year as its founders, Wen & Susah Hsieh, retire after a half century of running the business. The KHS and Free Agent bike brands will continue to be sold in other markets, and the brand’s Taiwan factory, United Engineering Corporation, founded by Wen Hsieh’s brother Jack, is a separate business that also will continue. Wayne D. Gray, vice president of the U.S. business, said the U.S...

10/7/2025 1:12pm I'm pointing it out not because a brand ought to go with VPP or Crab Link for their ebike, but because the 'Cruz explained in their podcast that VPP didn't fly with the new bosch motor, and yet - here's another brand launching a VPP ebike after the Vala (although admittedly I can't see what motor Intense is using in...

It probably isn't a good idea if our guy does that, he put his name on the side of the car.

Great custom paint job, normally when someone uses stickers instead of painted decals I'm less stoked but I think it's probably more authentic in this case?

When this thread will come in handy again it will be burried and forgotten by the Internet. Just as we discussed already here. People leave industries after painful cycles so they are bound to repeat.

10/7/2025 12:44pm Interesting that another VPP brand manages to squeeze the platform onto an ebike.

Tell me more about these self lubricating bronze pistons. Do you mean bronze or brass?

10/6/2025 4:48pm That's just something I'd have no idea about as a Canadian... but good Lord I hope the B2B was better than that website. Shame they couldn't see the writing on the wall and cull the bikes before too late, if that really was a big problem for them. This does raise an interesting topic though that I'd be happy to...

KHS does a decent parts distribution business.. They my #2 to order from at 2 of the last 3 shops i worked at.. I think that's what kept them going. The bikes are probably what dragged them down.

An industry group I belong to on FB.. Several dealers said they were told this by their reps.. I think they were surviving based on distribution more than bikes.. Plus, the big 3 have done a better job on cheaper bikes. KHS used to be a pretty good value, but not from what I've seen over the past 10 years or so..

10/6/2025 4:09pm A bit of a shame as my first bike was a KHS hardtail, but KHS has been wholly irrelevant since like 2012 (or realistically after whenever the last time Binggeli rode rampage), frankly I'm surprised it took this long. I don't know why a dealer would ever sell KHS when there's dozens of brands that offer way better mid- and...
