What’s on at Princess Pavilion, Falmouth, TR11 4AR

They were at Ardrock this weekend with a massive stand trying to sell bikes. Ive had three bikes from YT and bought a bunch of their apparel. Just came here for the comments.Whats wild is that I have a Capra Core 3 sitting in a box in my shop right now. By stealing from customers and then releasing a new bike, they have put the last nail in the coffin. Let’s hope they can make it and come back strong.

Joke of a company that time and again fails its customers, athletes and employees. I don’t know him, but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and hazard a guess that he isn’t a damn fool and that he did understand. I think its the mark of the man that he has bought back the brand. And marketing is important to any business, so why not? Any comment on ride quality aside, I have the prior generation Tues and have a hard time spotting differences beyond flip chips. I hope they sell the dhite out of them because that will almost certainly guarantee sweeping legislation banning all e-bikes.

I am sure I will not see any change in the way they have treated athletes and customers for the past 5years. Well I’m more alienated from this brand than I realised! I will not trust this until Christopher Walken does another video Can't be bit€¥in, I'll wait and hope to see some positive come back. Even when brexit happened, for some time getting spares was impossible in UK.

Now please go ride your comparitively overpriced under performing bike. It's actually a master class in business management that he pulled off. All customers were made whole. LOL, it was a calculated move to get rid of evil private equity, and then Markus bought back the company for pennies on the dollar. I welcome them all back and hope they all do well.

Shit, they were the same price point as specialized per spec…. I had a Capra for a few years, and for the money I paid for it, it was awesome. Once they got that brand recognition then I think it went out of hand with sponsoring loads of riders, opening up the mills etc etc and all those additional costs. The reason for buying it was the crazy spec for the price (full BOS suspension… not that that worked out haha). The fact that they competed so much on price is the reason they're gone. Say what you will about their marketing, image or whatnot but the bikes were good and their entry level builds were really accessible to new riders and riders on a budget.

I bought a new Capra myself just recently. Well, the price was still good for the parts and the bike ride like i wanted it to ride. Isnt product warranty their obligation to the customers by the law, no matter what happens to company? I hope most of does have been offered a solution. What really sucks are the guy that paid for a bike and did not get it. You got a great bike for an amazing price. I figure it's worth the sum of the parts alone so it's pretty much a free frame. I have a Jeffsy that I bought at the same discount.

Who was it that was insisting it was all thanks to trumps genius that YT US was able to continue its business? That Powerfish Casino Online is armchair Pinkbike commenter BS. Actually I wouldn't mind that if I still have an opportunity to get YT bikes at the same prices. I had a couple of fidlock bottles in my cart, along with knee pads and frame protection. Be sure to lock tite all your frame bolts. Let's hope something like that happened. Rumor has it Jenson bought their remaing bikes/parts.

With a warranty I’d jump on a decoy. @YTIndustries I just purchased a decoy sn core three from jenson USA on Thursday. They missed an opportunity to rename the business Young Enthusiastic Talent Industries. @staylo85 I don't get how you think that any DTC brand owes anything to local bike shops. Gunna take a lot to gain customers back after this shit show. So are they going to release a new e bike then go back out of business tomorrow? Speaks of the brand, anyway.

It's not on PB to police the behaviour of brands, YT should simply have withheld from posting this right now Pinkbike still seem happy to promote a brand thats not returning any customers money. Don't put it on PB to be the moral arbiters of what brands they do and don't allow to post, it's on the brand to make sensible decisions. PB has always allowed brands to share releases, free of charge on the front page. Your promoting a brand that has no cash flow and not returning any its customers $ for unfilled orders !?

I appreciate that the bike company might have already paid for the advertorial up front but you should have pulled it. @pinkbike you are losing credibility and my trust in your platform. Pinkbike has sunk to an all time low. An ethical brand would have briefed their staff to tell interested parties (they werent, I listened). An ethical brand would have had a sign informing people.
