Could be an interesting shock. Typical sloppy reporting. Sizes listed don't include the 165x45mm pictured...

Woo! If I ever go 12 speed I now have my chain ring, been running a steel Raceface chain ring for years, heavier but lasts, I was wearing out alloy ones fairly quickly even when changing chains at minimum wear.

Wasn’t sure where to put this but Santa Cruz prices going up.

Whoa... so that'll be at least $6k for a carbon frame then. probably closer to $7k if you want an X2 or coil on it.
Oddjob
Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Pass. I'll get a Zerode, Forbidden or Deviate for that kind of money.

...or a Nicolai G15 GPI (ie: frameset and Pinion gearbox). Initial price is a massive hurdle, but you would save money on driveline parts in the long-run.

For that kind of money an Antidote or Actofive frame is starting to look like good value....

With the Rotorburn bulk-buy discount, or retail?

My doing? That's something of a paradox!

I'd imagine most companies that don't make frames in house will be quietly bumping their prices up by similar amounts come July - August when the 2022 revisions and new frames come out, and citing similar reasons to Santa Cruz for doing so.

+1, was thinking the same. Once prices go up then they rarely drop back down. There will be all sorts of reasons to do it plus I suspect that most of the modern CF blob looking frames are made by the same groups. Quite a few sure look too similar to me.

Brand Manager Seb Kemp: “We didn’t expect to be here so we’re not making any bets on whether suppliers are going to roll back their prices to us in the future.”
Like that has EVER happened
Looks like it won't just be Rocky Mountain that gets shit-canned for upping their RRPs

Thanks for all the bananas
Uk companies just got hit with Brexit, I wonder if they will have to up their prices again?
I'm so happy I bought when I did.

Blimey, no reason the UK Prime minister can't afford a hair cut and comb now.

This was the RRP just before the V4 was released.
They were rumoured to drop down to around $4500 to clear them out before the V4 hit the shores but they didn't seem to go that way in reality.
Then covid hit and here were are again. It was still cheaper to import directly from a US run out sale for me.

Yeah absolutely. Sounds like supply lines have been hit hard everywhere and the increased costs in transport / shipping, then the blatant dig SC had at Trump's "easily winnable" trade war in their statement - I'd imagine these issues would be faced by everyone and we'll all be paying more for pretty much everything we import as a result.
