I think its pretty simple. The Bike Industry overhired and overproduced like crazy in the corona years. Companys became crazy greedy because they basically could sell anything at any price because of the high demand and all the different bike leasings. After corona the stocks are full, to much employees in the companys and nearly every normal customer has a bike, or a bikeleasing for at least 3 years. Now the industry has to cut cost - what easier way to cut cost on sponsorships? Sad but true.
Basically these companies failed on two parts, they didn't have enough inventory to meet lockdown/post lockdown demand and they failed to see that, that event was a one-off anomaly and that demand would peter off as inflation grew. They ended up going into massive debt to meet a demand in which they thought it was organic growth and would keep going and it screwed them over big time. The sad part is a lot of these companies are not getting picked up for cheap by Private Equity companies and getting even worse as well. Throw in everything you said on top and yeah - the industry is cooked.
Yeah, the same has happened with lots of leisure companies and entertainment services. These organisations expanded capacity for the long term to meet a short term need.
@@kurotar So you’re saying the bike industry in a capitalistic economy acted as capitalists. 🤦♀️🥴. Anyone who has taken the 2 standard beginning economics courses - macroeconomics and microeconomics - should understand the benefits and negatives of free market capitalism. I’m on pins and needles of what alternative economic system you’d install if you were the nation’s dictator.
Yup, the bike industry is at the point of diminishing returns in terms of tech changes they can make, it is literally why we see "standard" changes all the time and the industry pushing this or that. Looking at the bike trade shows almost all the "new" tech is just rehashes of stuff we had 20-25 years ago, minus the wireless and ebike stuff. In the end a bike is a bike and should not be worth more than a cheap car.
@@corail53that's like saying one of my golf clubs shouldn't cost $1,200 because it's just a fancy stick. There are plenty of bikes in the $100-$300 range. A high end mtb is just a different thing. Sure you can get a cheap used car for less than some bikes, but there are many cars in the 6 figure range. Are those cars overpriced? Absolutely. A 5-6k bike is a lot more justified than a $150k car imo.
Indeed. MTB geometry and componentry has hit a plateau. From here on out, dramatic breakthroughs in bike tech will be few and far between. That's why e-bikes are the new frontier for manufacturers. Motor and battery tech will continue to progress heavily for the foreseeable future, and will be the big moneymakers.
Jackson Goldstone for the podcast 🤘 Hard time for content creators but good times for us consumers that can find some good deals. Think the bike industrie needed a wake up call for overinflating prices without big changes
I totally agree with you that a sponsorship becomes more of a friendship than a business deal. You love the products and the people, not an easy thing to break with. So greatful for my sponsors sticking with me in this crazy time in the bike industry.
Dude, your transparency is refreshing. It's weird how we see our lives pre and post covid (BC, LOL). I found your content pre-covid, just after buying my first hardtail and never looked back. Stay healthy and you'll be alright Rémy. Cheers -
Thanks for your work Remy. Keep it up. I'm always happy to sell those products in my bikeshop that we could see you are using in your videos. I wish and hope to reach more customers to get involved into this biker's world. I think most of us are still spending too much not for health and sport but unnecesary things that should be replaced with bikes.
You are such a great teacher, very humble, genuine, and smart. I love the knowledge you share, it's very been helpful to my riding over the years. Thanks for all you do, wishing the very best for you and others who've been affected by this industry slow down.
Thanks Remy for the personal story, explanation and insight. All the best in 2025 and always love your content! And it has to be JG as the first guest!
IMO Backcountry showed the world their A$$ when they sued anyone who included the word “backcountry” in their marketing. Jenson is a better organization, great to see this sponsorship.
When Rémy switched to Backcountry, it was hard for me to find anything I needed, and when I did find something, Jenson had a better price. When Rémy was with Jenson it was pretty easy to put Rémy's code in because I was going to buy it anyway.
Sounds like a great move forward, I love the way you showed respect for your old sponsors. Respect to you for finding a way forward, hopefully thing may change, especially for EWS, it doesn’t get enough coverage and it’s my favourite style of mountain biking.
Glad that you could find so quickly new sponsors. It's an indication that you are a valuable partner for the brands. One month out of two my main sponsor tells me that I am too expensive, and then I have a serious discussion, in front of the mirror, with myself... 😅
I'm one of the people that lost my job in the bike industry. I was in the media department. Looking for new work is proving to be a pretty big struggle right now. This sucks.
All the Best for 2025 Rémy. I've only been following your channel for a short while but what you have to offer is second-to-none. I look forward to more great content. 🤘🥇🤘
Hey Remy, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and future plans with us. I always look forward to watching your content. You are an inspiration to the mountain bike world of class and your super smooth style on the bike. I am glad you have moved quickly to other brands in the Industry that shows how marketable you are. As far a great pod cast guest, I think you should share content with Brian Lopes. As you well know his Champion credentials speak for itself.You have a similar smooth fast style like Brian and would be a wonderful attribute to you new pod cast. All the best Remy and really look forward in seeing what the future has install you.keep on shre'ddn bro!!
Life is full of challenges, and changes. We just have to keep life simple to adapt. I'm glad you're back with Jenson USA. I think they have a better selection, and better pricing. As far as a guest, Greg Minnaar has a great life story, and he has lasted a really long time in the sport. There's some really cool interviews out there of Greg. Whatever comes next, I wish you success, happiness, and peace 🤙
The struggle out there is real right now. Always interesting to hear others going through it as well. You're a smart dude, always adapting to changes in the mountain bike space. Looking forward to seeing what you do this year; maybe we can actually get a ride in sometime... or a surf, that's fine too, haha.
Exciting times for you Remy! AWESOME!!! I just love podcasts (I really miss Tippie's) they dive into who you guys are, and for a lot of us (even though I live fairly close in Bellingham) never get to see you guys on the trail. Not that most of us can keep up with you on some of those gnarly trails, but it let's us into the real you and makes things personable. I'm just that kind of guy, know a lot of people I guess. Great video, can't wait for 2025! SKAL!!!
Jenson is a good choice Remy. I live in Canada and buy from Jenson all the time and they have great customer service. I hope they take good care of you. I have a Camelbak for each bike. As they sponsor you, I will continue to purchase their product.
In the past 5-7 years there hasn't been much development that really benefits the general rider. It's all just tiny changes and actually a push to go electronic gears and suspension etc that most people don't need. I intentionally put 12 speed slx on my S Works enduro and spent the money I saved on better brakes and upgrading suspension. People are keeping their bikes longer, which is great for their wallet and the environment.
Salut Rémy ! Content que tu aies pu trouver de nouveaux commanditaires (sponsors). Premier invité selon moi : Wade Simmons !!! Bonne continuation et merci pour les super vidéos. Salutations de Montréal !
Podcast interview suggestions: Nate Hills, Jeff Kendall-Weed, Brendan Fairclough , Phil Kmetz, Neko Mulally, Loic Bruni, Jeff Lenosky, April - Ride MTB, Jordan Boostmaster, ....
Greed..... No one wants to pay that much for a decent bike anymore. Poor quality bullshit coming out of brands since 2019.... Been riding and doing contests since I was 14... Im 31 now and Ive never cracked a bike from just basic riding. My GT cracked at the weld almost instantly after a few rides....... Companies went cheap cheap and jacked the prices. Industry is DEAD. Way to much over head. Way to much stuff done over sea's for cheap. Im about to hang the helemet as its becoming way to expensive to keep up with the bike and travel. Best of luck Remy. Much love from Canada
Would love to hear from some old legends. Tyler klassen, dylan Tremblay, wade simmons, steve romaniuk, gully. Dont be shy about sharing those Jenson discount codes either!! Good luck
Remy, you're awesome! I'm sure you will have no problems in 2025! You should interview Jeff Kendall-Weed. He was a pro rider, worked and rode for Ibis, has great content and reviews. Overall great guy. He would be a great guest on the show!
@@nickv3085 Trying to point out this isn't just an MTB industry issue. Most outdoor sport industries are suffering. And laugh all you want, pro disc golfers make more than pro mountain bikers.
@@nickv3085 Don't knock it till you try it. It is great exercise and you don't have to worry about breaking bones and knocking yourself unconscious, and it does not cost over 6 grand to get into it.
@@netposerx hear hear; the situation in ditch snorkelling is similarly dire, partly due to over commitment on the production of bog-proof snorkels and the weather conditions in the UK having reclassified all ditches as rivers. Welly-wanging too is basically dead as a professional endeavour with the suppliers of left handed competition boots having withdrawn all non-critical business ventures. Don't get me started on the national cheese rolling series; mini babybel have essentially ripped the heart and soul out of that sport 😢
Price gouging! I have watched several videos on why the bike industry is where it is at, but they never seem to touch on the price gouging that occurred. This occurred in many industries including the automobile, Recreational Vehicles (RV), Off Highway Vehicles (OHV), Motorcycles, etc. While I can sympathize with the majority of the employees at the companies that engaged in these practices. It is enraging to know that people in the upper management positions laughed all the way to bank (and many of them are no longer with these companies to see the devastation that their greed and mismanagement has caused). Its a broken system where a few reap enormous rewards, while the majority pay dearly for their incompetence and greed.
Sorry this happening ,the cost are high if you quality this situation will hopefully work itself out enjoy your content stay safe looking forward to more 🎉
Same thing happened in the automotive world. Look at what Jeep is going through right now. There was a tiny boom of people interested in overloading during Covid, or at least the idea of it, and so demand spiked a bit. Jeep read it as much bigger, and made calls to increase production massively for the next few years. Now they can't sell Wranglers and Gladiators because the demand spike was short lived and now they're attempting to sell them for 20%+ off on lots. Their business is scaled for high output, but there's low demand. Time to cut costs everywhere, essentially. On the bright side, this happening in all industries could potentially help, although not fix, our inflation/shrinkflation issue in a few years.
Stellantis are done unfortunately. Even the big Japanese names Honda and Nissan need to merge so they’ll get a bigger bailout from the Japanese government. Only Tesla seem to still be doing well.
Salut Rémy continue comme tu sais faire , peux importe le sponsor que aura ,tu sait rester très professionnel et sérieux dans ton domaine et ton implication en vers les sponsors actuels ou futurs 💪 Best rider for me Numbers ONE ❤
Great video, appreciate all your explanations. Probably no surprise, but I'd love to see you sit down with Jackson Goldstone first. Second would be Richie Rude.
When you start podcasting, the first guest should be also someone who started something, from my opinion. Who could be better than Brett Tippie or Wade Simmons? Or maybe both together. Could be fun when they talk about the good old times and stories that happened behind the scenes. Anyway I wish you all the best for 2025! Ride on...!🤙
Maybe a segment could be a surprise rider, someone known for other things. Dave Grohl talked about mountain biking at one point, and he' may show up for things like this. Could you make him do some drops and shred a bike as hard as he does the guitar? 😁
Remy você é um atleta e produtor de conteúdo de alto nível e tem uma visão mais ampla que eu que sou apenas um ciclista amador latino americano. Estudando um pouco as causa de uma quebradeira geral, concordo com você em quase tudo que citou mas tem um fator que os atletas e profissionais que tem vínculos com as marcas não podem levantar para não fecharem as portas. A precificação que esta absurdamente alta. E sim, acredito que a especulação foi aplicada. Comparo sempre os preços de uma ebike com uma moto de trilha. Com o preço cobrado em algumas ebikes você compra uma moto de trilha preparada e ainda é capaz de sobrar dinheiro. Já ouvi muitas argumentações sobre escala de produção, cadeia de suprimentos e coisas do tipo. Não justifica. O pessoal esta abandonando o esporte pois muita gente percebe que a indústria começou a explorar demais uma paixão que muitas vezes leva uma pessoa a comprar uma bike pelo sonho e desejo de ter. Essas pessoas agora estão racionalizando mais suas decisões. Aqui no Brasil temos bike elétricas mais caras que um carro zero quilometro. O efeito colateral chegou. Não podemos ignorar a inflação e impacto no custo de vida das pessoas em todo mundo após essa fase complicada que passamos da Co**** e isso potencializou a racionalidade das pessoas em pagar caro demais em uma nova bike.
2020 was a spectacular year for my MTB business and it sustained into 2021 and parts of 2022. But then sales began to decline and 2023 was really bad. 2024 was slightly better but there was no end of the year Christmas boost, in fact December 2024 was worse than 2023. 2025 is gonna be crucial. If it doesnt pick up again, we'll see a lot more businesses going belly-up, I'm afraid.
The bike industry is just one of many that are now experiencing a massive downturn. This is just the beginning. And it is part of a global agenda, even if many still want to deny it so much.
New people came and go. Retention in the sport isn't that huge, also a bunch who stayed moved to emtbs. You said you're not a business person but you managed to build a nice life for yourself
It's a capitalistic world for companies who take advantages of any industries highs and lows - Always has been - It's the consumer that drives such dynamics and who ultimately pay the "price" - I personally refused to pay such outrageous prices during COVID - Staying with current gear, etc. - I will be purchasing a new ride on 2025 now that the market has settled a bit... \m/
I think its pretty simple. The Bike Industry overhired and overproduced like crazy in the corona years. Companys became crazy greedy because they basically could sell anything at any price because of the high demand and all the different bike leasings. After corona the stocks are full, to much employees in the companys and nearly every normal customer has a bike, or a bikeleasing for at least 3 years.

Not easy at all but you'll get other sponsors for sure 🤘

Great video, appreciate all your explanations. Probably no surprise, but I'd love to see you sit down with Jackson Goldstone first. Second would be Richie Rude.

Anyway I wish you all the best for 2025!
Ride on...!🤙
Great video. Please get your guy Dean Tennant on the podcast!
Invite one of your old sponsors, so we can undestand the situation in the industry from a producer perspective
but you stil got os. and we will never stop watching you
Wishing u the best remy❤
Avec Yoyo Barelli le sanggggg ça serait incr vous deux ensemble en podcast 😍
Please keep the content coming 👍
Maybe a segment could be a surprise rider, someone known for other things. Dave Grohl talked about mountain biking at one point, and he' may show up for things like this. Could you make him do some drops and shred a bike as hard as he does the guitar? 😁
KTM is going through the same thing too, but there is no reason why a downhill bike should be close to as much as an OEM works edition 450.
yes between you and Phil taking hits on sponsorship it's sad.Good Luck in 25 awesome great content 👍
You amd Yohann chatting would be great to see.
Fingers crossed that your new backpack sponsor is USWE. As an endurance runner and mountain biker, I love their products.
Pretty sure it is based on the Moto clip he showed
@@BasicBodThor The clip and backpack were a little dark, I couldn't tell. Do you recognize it?
id love to see a joint ride and some talk with Delilah Cupp. girl radiates with great energy!
first guest, Joann Barelli please , two baguettes part two !
Please do interviews with enduro , dh and xc riders in your comming podcast :)
I'd love to see some new guys at the world cup elite circuit that are from Canada in your podcast like, goldstone, Jakob Jewett and Dane Jewett
I would love to see (again) a collaboration with Kilian Bron:)
But Amaury Pierron, Loïc Bruni would be awesome too 😊
Wish you the best

New challenges are new opportunities. Good luck in 2025 and keep up the good work mate. Ride on🤙

The bike industry did it to itself. Sadly that’s the truth and they can only blame theirselves.
Glad it wasn't Propain cause i just bought one 99% because i follow your channel 😊
2020 was a spectacular year for my MTB business and it sustained into 2021 and parts of 2022. But then sales began to decline and 2023 was really bad. 2024 was slightly better but there was no end of the year Christmas boost, in fact December 2024 was worse than 2023.
2025 is gonna be crucial. If it doesnt pick up again, we'll see a lot more businesses going belly-up, I'm afraid.
1st guest... Jackson Goldstone
You should have Ollie Lowthorpe on your podcast
The bike industry is just one of many that are now experiencing a massive downturn. This is just the beginning. And it is part of a global agenda, even if many still want to deny it so much.
You need to get the 2nd best voice in the MTB industry - Theo Erlangsen !!!
Never heard of your lost sponsors. And were to buy the t- shirt that you are wearing?
J'aime apprendre l'anglais avec tes vidéos ! Le seul accent que je comprends.
FIRST GUEST- Branden Semenuk!
I’m guessing WAO wheels and uswe for packs.
Hans Rey for the podcast.
Local wheel sponsor, we are one, perhaps 🤔
i got a fixed gear i need to sell after switching to an e-bike!
New people came and go. Retention in the sport isn't that huge, also a bunch who stayed moved to emtbs.
You said you're not a business person but you managed to build a nice life for yourself
what drone do you use??
Some of the best drone footage he has used was by Gabriel Kocher (@gab707_fpv) using the Medlin Drone head tracking system.
Invite Steve! 🤟🏻
imagine, i never had a sponsor🤣🤣
It's a capitalistic world for companies who take advantages of any industries highs and lows - Always has been - It's the consumer that drives such dynamics and who ultimately pay the "price" - I personally refused to pay such outrageous prices during COVID - Staying with current gear, etc. - I will be purchasing a new ride on 2025 now that the market has settled a bit... \m/
Hopefully you're getting sponsored by NOBL
I cant beleive how unsustainable the bike industry makes itself lol.
Please interview Yoan the flying baguette
le rêve américain continue 🤟🤟
It is called recession. People and companies are struggling finances.
