We Will Have a Dedicated Phone Number, and a Brand Manager in Place to Help Them Out”- Peter Van Oeveren // General Manager @ Pushys.com

Commenceal Back In Australia

As we reported recently on revolutionmtb.com.au after vanishing from our shores for a couple of seasons Commencal Bikes are now available across Australia once again. The main man behind the iconic brand, Max Commencal, recently visited Australia to put the finishing touches on the brand’s master plan to tap back into the Australian market with the help of some serious local assistance/ support. And so with thanks to our friends at Pushys, [R]evolution Magazine had the opportunity to sit down with Max whilst he was out here and we got to hear first hand how everything is set to roll.

G’day Max, thank you for taking the time to chat with us today whilst you’re out here in Australia. First of all, congratulations on partnering with Pushys as Commencal prepares to re-enter the Australian market place. We understand that you’ll essentially be selling bikes direct to customers through your website with the support of Pushys here in Australia. Can you please explain how the process will work?

The objective is to have the simplest and most economical operation possible so that public prices in Australia are the same as in Europe and the US. The sale remains direct between COMMENCAL and the public and the customer service as a whole is provided by a professional in person, namely Pushys. The bikes are stored in Pushys warehouses therefore enabling fast deliveries and a COMMENCAL brand-manager will be permanently available at Pushys specifically for the Australian public. Our bikes will also be available at Pushys in Canberra and Brisbane.

Around what date will bikes officially become available in Australia?

SUPPLY CHAIN PAIN

A KIN TO A LOT OF YOU OUT THERE WE’VE RECENTLY FOUND OURSELVES SWINGING BY OUR LOCAL BIKE STORE TO STOCK UPON A FEW PARTS AHEAD OF OUR PLANNED TRAIL ADVENTURES, ONLY TO FIND, EMPTY RACKS AND SHELVES? IS THIS THE NEW VERSION OF LAST YEAR’S SUPERMARKET TOILET PAPER PANIC BUYING? WHERE HAVE ALL THE BIKES, BRAKE PADS, TIRES AND EVERYTHING ELSE GONE? WITH AROUND A 30% INCREASE IN BIKE SALES ACROSS AUSTRALIA (AND THE WORLD) DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS ALONE, BIKES HAVE BEEN FLYING OUT THE DOOR THE SAME DAY THAT THEY ARRIVE… WANT A NEW BIKE? GET READY TO WAIT. THIS TIME LAST YEAR THE PRE-ORDER WAITING LISTS FROM MOST BRANDS FOR POPULAR BIKES WAS AVERAGING 1-3 MONTHS, NOW, IT’S BLOWING OUT TO ANYWHERE FROM 6 MONTHS TO A FULL YEAR! IT’S CRAZY. IT’S SCARY. IT SUCKS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BIKE INDUSTRY IS ON OUR SIDE AND BRANDS ARE DOING THEIR VERY BEST RIGHT NOW TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO TURN IT AROUND.
