Its not that they won't, they have to or they lose the brand. Thats one reason why they dont deal with CKX any longer - its called MAP. I was there yesterday AM (Guelph) and picked up some KLIM mid layer stuff and new studs/backers for the incoming XCR. If you do the math, its a touch over 20% off when you combine the 2 reductions. If you have something special in mind I'd phone first to see if the sale applies to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what one guy said last night The manager in the Guelph store informed my that they are supporting a FXR only booth this year, no reason why but likely low inventory levels. Apparently, you can get a 15% off coupon to use in-store next week if you ask for one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really equates to the removal of competition in the marketplace, Far too much of this in Canada these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they no longer can sell CKX because they were selling the products for less than what the manufacture allowed, giving Royal the advantage over the other resellers - so Royal was removed as a reseller altogether?

Sksman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Other then parts Royal has become like Canadian Tire. Never buy anything for regular price unless you are desperate as the item will be on sale soon enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct Stoney.They had an argument with Kimpex which is the Ckx supplier.I think it was over the pricing of the all new Titan helmet a few years ago. What i heard was when the dust settled Kimpex quit using Royal as a dealer for all of their products . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I saw that when Skidooboy posted above - I did not know the meaning of that abbreviation when I read your post and thought you were suggesting a different reason than what had happened ! Really short sighted of them when you think about it - so many other ways to offer discounts on MSRP items with fixed priced agreements and follow the rules.

scottyr Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 KLIM is very sticky about their MAP policies on CURRENT year clothing as well. Once its a year old, all bets are off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeater466 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Overall the show sucked. The manufacturers had very little in the way of sleds available. The vendors were much less. There was no deals to be had on gear. Outside of getting all the district maps for me it wasn't worth $25. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood the FXR booth was where the Royal one usually is and it was manned only by FXR team members - no royal team member. Seems to be conflicting info on that......not that it really matters in the grand scheme. 15 minutes ago, smokeater466 said: Overall the show sucked.

Deals on gear were to be had at the Royal sale in there stores only that same weekend - no tax plus 5% off (20% discount) ..... lol. Some of the booths apparently only brought items for sale to the show that were just demo's - you bought at the show and the items were shipped to you afterwards for free. Really makes sense for larger outfits, means carry less inventory with you but still attend, speak with clients and still sell some of your stuff......as long as you know your sizes if it is clothes related purchase.

I'm going to buy a track tomorrow but the one I want is not in stock at the store so I'll have to order it online from the warehouse which according to what you posted, a coupon wouldn't work for.
