Giant Bicycles responsible for making frames for Trek Bicycle has been found to utilize threats, debt bo***ge, and a host of other heinous business practices….reminds me a lot of their dealer agreements and tactics. It is not surprising this has finally come to light.

Watch the video. These companies demand access to bank accounts of employees similar to those records forced by brands to dealers. Dealers are forced to buy in each year, forcing shops to purchase up to 80% of goods from only them, making up rules as they go to suit themselves while withholding vital information or flat out manipulating business partners.

We have the receipts, forced agreements, recorded phone calls, and odd email request from these bike brands. It’s time we bring manufacturing back to the US and impose American values no matter the cost. Companies who take advantage of workers don’t stop there, it’s their core value.

Big news in the cycling world: As of September 25, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a Withhold Release Order (WRO) stopping shipments from Giant...

Another iconic MTB brand gone 😕

YT Industries cierra: adiós a una marca de culto del MTB

Lo que durante semanas se escuchaba como rumor en la escena MTB ya es oficial: YT Industries, la marca alemana que revolucionó el mercado con su modelo directo al consumidor y un marketing tan agresivo como creativo, suspende operaciones y despide a la mayoría de su plantilla. Un golpe durísimo para la industria del MTB y, sobre todo, para miles de riders que se identificaban con su lema: Good Times.

Fundada en Forchheim, YT se ganó el corazón de los riders con máquinas icónicas como la Capra, la Tues o la Jeffsy. Sus bicis no solo ofrecían un rendimiento brutal, también venían envueltas en un aura diferente: edits legendarios, victorias en la Copa del Mundo y un estilo que conectaba directamente con la juventud del MTB.

Según fuentes internas, la falta de inversores ha obligado a la marca a parar su actividad y recortar plantilla de manera drástica. Incluso el YT Mob, su equipo de descenso, podría aparecer en los próximos eventos compitiendo con otras marcas. Un gesto que deja claro que, al menos por ahora, los Good Times se han quedado en pausa.

Los motivos de este desenlace no son un secreto: la guerra de descuentos tras el boom del COVID, el exceso de stock en el mercado y problemas con proveedores clave dejaron a la marca sin margen de maniobra. Markus Flossmann, fundador y actual CEO, lo explicaba así hace unos meses:

“Mientras los clientes aprovechaban las ofertas, marcas pequeñas como la nuestra éramos empujadas al límite.”

Quedan las memorias: podiums, medallas, edits virales y esa sensación de que YT representaba una manera distinta de entender el MTB. Una marca que inspiró a una generación y que obligó a gigantes del sector a mirar hacia el modelo directo al consumidor. Pero, ojo, no todo está perdido. Flossmann ha dejado claro que hará lo posible por resucitar la marca. Además, tanto el servicio como las entregas previstas se mantienen activos de momento, lo que abre la puerta a un posible regreso.

Hoy toca digerir la mala noticia. Pero en el MTB, como en la vida, las caídas no son definitivas si hay voluntad de levantarse. Descansa en paz YT.

YT enters bankruptcy stating “severely impacted by the global discounting battle in the bike industry”

YT Industries Begins Restructuring Under Self-Administration. YT Industries GmbH has initiated a legal restructuring process under German law, entering into self-administration to secure the company’s future.

In a press release from YT Industries, the German-based brand said “despite strong global growth and a loyal customer base”, it has been “severely impacted by the global discounting battle in the bike industry, problems with suppliers and uncertainty in the US market related to tariff policies.” YT Industries said it was “compelled” to enter legal restructuring proceedings under self-administration as the company has “no further funding available under the current structure.” Head over to the homepage for the full story now
