Strange that they are just flat stopping, rather than mothballing it till things look up.
Always was a tough sell though, even when not on the brink of economic oblivion.
that link quotes them as saying it's a pause until things improve
Anyone else see the RCZ emails recently with these on offer? - makes you think ...
Ah, that press release has been added since i first read it, it read like they were shutting up for good.
In the last paragraph they state in the past tense as if they have already gone. Not a good sign for people here who own them as I think they are not home serviceable.

Rockshox RS1 were too radical for most and they were simply 'upside-down'...most folk prefer to follow the herd making Trust forks the preserve of a small niche and breaking into the mainstream would be damn tough and taken years.

Aesthetics aside, it's twice the price of all the competition, and none of the reviews suggested it performed as well as them. Looking weird was just the icing on the cake
They were a few iterations away from having a winner, doubtful they'd have made it that far if three weeks of shutdown has closed their doors.
