I have been dealing with the factory directly for the past two years. A guy on another thread said he had been waiting on parts for months can you help him?

arnoux Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 They are producing bikes. I saw a production line with bikes being built, parts being shipped, and people working. Oriol Noguera was there testing a bike, and it seemed to be business as usual. I was only there for a few minutes, and didn't see Josep around, but it was definitely a hive of activity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is? Well, if so they wouldn't be the first company to take some old stock lying around and turn it into the latest model with some cosmetic tweaks.

Let’s cosmetically change the bike , and get some fresh , low-key dealers to stock them. Forget sale or return - if they don’t sell , we’ll send (sell) you the necessary to give them a 12 month makeover - whilst “unintentionally” leaking a sneak-peek at the new look , using a member of the only forum that really likes the things. If you are a dealer and you’ve invested £100k in 30 2017 machines , on the promise that next year the bike will be a sensation that will take on the majors - and 12 months later they send you a few parts to rework what you have , then what does that say? You are either complicit , or you didn’t have a good enough contract with the factory. Either way doesn’t bode well for any customers. For one the dealer won’t make enough money to provide good service , or employ properly-skilled mechanics - or second , the relationship between supplier and dealer being a flimsy enough arrangement - falling-down at any minor-hurdle , until communication grinds to a virtual standstill , as JTG’s R&D have another meeting to decide what color the allen-bolt heads are going to be on the 2019 bike. I'm trying to decide if you're very cynical or very perceptive. Probably both. Unfortunately Jotagas seem to have painted themselves into a corner. Their strange commercial ways of the past few years are not easily forgotten, either by end-users or potential dealers/importers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Apparently a completely new chassis for 2018 , oriol noguera Posted a photo on social media of his bike with all the back end blacked out and something in Spanish about a new chassis, I followed his progress in the TrialGPLive app on Sunday and he was going very well p7 at the end of the first lap , on the live broadcasts he seemed to be getting grip where there wasn’t any but the fan appears to be constantly on aswell?, who knows what they’re up to in the factory maybe there are big things to come ?
