Zum Fortgang von Soul 26 und BFe 26. Nix Neues, aber ncohmal zusammengefasst.
We've had a fair few people asking what's happening with our 26" hardtails recently
given that we've run low on mediums in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To confirm, there is another batch of BFe26 coming in about 3 months. We've been
caught out a bit with this because the medium sold through whilst we still have
good stock of small and large, but they will be back and we'll be running matte
green and gritstone as the colours again.
As regards the Soul26, unfortunately for our founding product we have decided that
the current batch in stock is the end of the road. Whilst BFe26 sales are still
strong, at the lighter weight, higher end of the market the 27.5 and 29 inch wheels
have pretty much taken over. At the current level of sales compared to the 27.5
Soul and 29 Solaris we can't justify another batch of Soul26. We need to be able
to move at least a batch per year, and over the last 12 months it has dipped below
this point, whereas Soul275 sales have rocketed right from the moment we introduced
it. We're sorry to be saying this, and it's weirdly emotional for us given that
- as I said - it's our founding product. However, the Soul lives on in the 275 version,
and times change. We've always said we are all about building Modern Steel Hardtails.
If that doesn't include 26" wheels anymore, then so be it.
So, if you want an awesome 26" wheel, light weight, zippy trail hardtail, this is
your last chance. Once they're gone, they're gone.
