I received an email that said they are sold out of inventory and discontinuing the brand. I actually liked some of their gear and am bummed about the news. I know it looked like this was going to happen for a while but it's sad to see a moto company go away.
That sucks for the people that lost their jobs.
Like mentioned already, I hate it for the people that are going to loose their jobs most of all.
The Shop
What a shame.
the helmets were good when they came out as well, great price point, sold a heap of them (was in a retail shop by then) they must have sold a heap of the monster branded gear as well,
The brand still has a lot of value. Everyone knows the name, I could see someone buying it.
Pit Row
I read an interview with Ludo Boinnard about how he started ONE industries that was really interesting. It seemed pretty methodical how it went from graphics to the Trooper helmet and gear. Definitely a shame how things ended up.
WPS has Fly, Tucker has ANSR, MSR and Arai, Parts has A-Stars, Thor and Moose. All exclusively.
However, brands like Fox, Troy Lee, Seven, Oakley and others have proven that you can sustain a brand without being owned by or linked to a Major distributor.
Also this made me think, I wonder what brand Grant will wear in 17 since he's got that factory Kawi ride???
Also, I'd expect to see Josh Grant continue on with Shift/Fox and Shoei.
So what about the bicycle line, is that part of the ONE INDUSTRIES business done too? Are we talking the whole shabang or just the motocross stuff?
