Do you mean to say it’s overpriced for what it is (quality of manufacturing, proprietary parts, design, shipping included) or that it’s over priced compared to competing products, or the category is over priced in general (or all three)?
I look at it compared to other cycling categories and I don’t really see it.
This is 325 CAD. For that you could buy a GX 12-speed cassette. A OneUp handlebar bundle (bar, stem, grips). An XTR M9100 rear derailleur. A dropper post and decent remote. An okay rain jacket.
And none of that stuff has much resale value used where you’re going to get something back for a KRS Pro. And the memories/experiences probably make it a better value even if you recycle it after one kid.
I don’t know. I guess you have to work out dollars/use and smiles/dollar (x2 - you and kid). I think from my experiences it’s a pretty solid value as cycling gear goes.
