What ever happened to Tag Metals? Back in the early 2000s they seemed to be huge and I had their bars, plus other hard parts on multiple bikes. Now you can't even find a website or any parts on Motosport or Rocky Mountain. If I remember correctly only a few years ago they were still sponsoring the Rockstar Suzuki team. Seems like they fell off quite fast.
I thought Tag Metals was supposed to relaunch this year... don't know when though. I do know that they are working on something...
The Shop
Group 6 USA (Atlas, Matrix, 1.7, Next, Royal, 7 IDP) has purchased Tag Metals.
They have redesigned and resourced the product line with many improvements and updates,
and have placed purchase orders already.
They are planning to relaunch the brand close to Anaheim 1, when they have stock on hand.
Took One Industries FOREVER to get things swapped over, during that time their distributor back order list piled up...once they did get things moving, they cancelled all their distributor deals (not filling any of the backorders either) and tried to go dealer-direct.
At this point, they just never got their stuff together it seemed like. They had been out of circulation long enough and it was such a mess, it just never seemed to recover...at least, that's what I remember happening
Eddie snagged it back and is reviving it now.
Triple 7 made a mess of it all and sold it off to another equity group and Group 6 bought Tag back from them.
