Specialized cutting prices, 25% off Stumpjumper
It looks like Specialized is sitting on some inventory and cutting prices.
I didn't see any road bikes that interest me (Aethos) but a couple of their Stumpjumper mountain bikes are back down to pre pandemic prices with a 25% price drop. I've been riding my ancient mountain bike lately and sort of shopping for a new one. I had taken the Stumpjumper off the list but this has me reconsidering. They also have components on sale. I saw some Roval wheels marked down 25% as well. |
I noticed in my email over the last few days several vendors advertising Shimano overstock sales too, so I think there is a pile of inventory sitting in warehouses right now that vendors want to move.

Last year was a very good year to sell your bike shop.

All those LBSs that sold to Trek or Specialized for big bucks must be having a chuckle right now. Which is great for them because they probably didn't make a whole lot of money the while they were independently owned and operated :)

I bet there’s some Epic accounting going on. (pun intended)

Yea. I snagged a post.

My Spesh dealer told me a couple of weeks ago to wait before I buy anything, that Spesh had cut pricing 3 times in 3 months and that was unprecedented. He said he expected more sales coming, especially by March.

Spesh is in trouble. Lotta rumors swirling.

Now I'm not going to say I'm the perfect representative consumer, but I will note that the bikes they have on sale have very little overlap with the bikes that I might personally be interested in. Maybe I could see myself getting a stumpjumper, but I would be much more interested in Crux, Epic, Chisel, Aethos, Fuse, Tarmac, Allez, and I don't see any of those on sale.

I'm thinking 2023 will see many sales but less buyers running to buy for the same reasons |
you said it.
when the tarmacs and aethos's, and the epic's, and the crux's and the emonda slr's (wait....that's Trek, but you get the idea) come at 40% off, wake me up. :) Quote:

This checks out as standard operating procedure for the big S. Companies occasionally play this game but specialized is probably the worst
As stated above, they're in a spot of bother Quote:
