KLIM ABS packs on sale

[rmkid800]

X3, I was able to buy a Free Ride over the phone and will be picking it up this weekend on the way up the the dunes. It really is sad that they called to complain about the post. You know that even with the 30% off they still had to be making money so that really shows the mark up on these bags.

Rexburg motor sports called me this morning and said klim called them and told me to take this off and that there all gone boys cudos to those of us that got them and sorry for you who missed out!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully those of us that were able to pick one or two of them up wont get caught in a avy or any one else this coming year or next and so on if so let it be on klim's conciance for being greedy on the price of the bags !!!!!!!!!!

Just so you know.
I TOLD THEM IN ADVANCE that I was starting this thread on Snowest and would do everything I could to help them sell all of them.

They were perfectly happy for my assistence.!

So I hope they didn't give you any greif at all about this post.

Being from UT and only visiting RMS while we are up at the dunes I haven't been there all that often but everytime I have they have been awsome. They even replaced my buddy's daughter's Raptor 250's battery under warranty even though he bought it in UT. I am glad that they were able to get all of them sold and it was even better that they were willing to sell them for such a awsome price that KLIM complained. The best I could find around home was 875. I will be sure to give RMS my business in the future anytime I am up that way.

RMS has gone through some MASSIVE changes over the past few months.
Seems like there has been a real shakeup in whole store layout, staff, sales merchandise, pricing, ect.

All of which "I" think has been for the better.

I just got off the phone with them. Looks like the TRACKER2 is a go for this season. We are expecting our first shipment early this fall.

The whole story

I felt i should respond to this thread, so that everybody is aware of the whole story. I have met some of the people at klim, and they are a great bunch who are looking to better the powersports indutry. Klim does have some policies about posting gear online. However this is only to protect the customer that is buying klim gear. Anybody that has klim gear will tell you that it is worth every penny you spend.
The abs bags are not made by klim. They are made in germany, and then distributed by klim who has made it possible for everybody in the usa and canada to purchace one. Before klim got involved with abs, they were illegal to ship because the canisters were not dot approved. Klim is the company that made this possible so you can be safe in case of an avalanche.
Rexburg motorsports is a good dealer, but it seems to me that they did not realize they were losing over $100 per bag by selling them at the price they did. It must have been an honest mistake that klim tried to help them out with, so before you throw klim or rexburg motorsports under the bus, i would look at the big picture and understand the whole story. To many times on this forum, only one side is ever told. And this is what has happened in this situation.
For those of you that got an abs pack for this price, that is great, becuase this is way below cost, i wish i could have got one. Bottom line is, this forum is not to throw business' under the bus, it should be to help the industry so the sport doesn't get shut down. So i would encourage all those that like to stir the pot, to realize what you may be doing to your favorite sport. Enough said, best wishes to all, and keep the rubber side down.

With all due respect, here is the REST of the story.

When I first posted this thread, it was just after I came from RMS having just bought one of the ABS packs.

They were quite clear in telling me that they were offering ALL the ABS packs at -30% off MSRP as that was their cost. They were not loosing any money on the deal. Rather they were liquidating left over stock from last winter in the middle of the summer. In my book, a VERY wise business decision. They told me that the packs had been ON-SALE at that price for some time, but no one had really shown any interest. After purchasing mine I told them I would pass on the word to my friends on Snowest and that I was pretty sure I could help them sell ALL of them in short order.

Now, after reading the comments on this thread from yesterday, I took the time to go and pay Rexburg Motor Sports a visit this afternoon.

After speaking with multiple employees I got the following story.

Their KLIM Sales rep either read my thread here on Snowest, or was told about it and called RMS. He put some pressure on them to cancel the sale. As they said, their dealership for the Klim line was in jeopardy because of the sale. So they were strongly encouraged to terminate the sale ASAP. Universally, all the employees that spoke to me held that Klim Sales Rep in VERY LOW ESTEEM. he is clearly not well thought of by the staff, regardless of how great their product is (and I am 100% Klim user!)

So while they told me that they were 100% Sold-Out and that the sale was over, they were at the very same moment on the phone with another customer discussing the ABS pack that he was coming in to take delivery of.

Hearing that conversation left me with the clear impression that they had been told to say they were sold-out. Perhaps they really were, I honestly do not know.

All that said, I am a very solid customer of RMS, I spent $30,000 there this month so far.

AND.

And I am solid customer and strong supporter of KLIM, having bought 100% of my Snowmobiling gear from them. Heck, I am a walking KLIM poster boy when I go sledding.

So I am NOT BASHING either company in any way.
Just letting everyone here know the reality of the situation so far as I am able to ascertain it.

Klim has a very aggressive price fixing policy that allows for no Internet discounting, and sales in stores that are authorized dealers on old materials only.

Should I mention that RMS had all of the KLIM Helmets on Sale as well? I bought FOUR of them for $150 each!

Being fairly new to this forum, would you mind telling me who you are and why "you" felt you should reply to my thread?

Just currious if you have some special relationship or insight in this whole affair. I appologize in advance if your someone everyone else on Snowest knows, and I am just showing my ignorance here.

Maybe we can Get McDunna on here to comment on this, I hear he knows some people that know some people at RMS and could mostly likely clear this all up

 

[adrenaline junkey]

sounds like a great deal and i will never think twice about giving RMS my business, been in there quite a few times and have always stuck deals also been in need of repairs and they have made the time to do it, or even lent you a few small tools to complete your job in the parking lot
