Just found this article. Anybody know if it's true?

IMO, an article on Pinkbike is much more authoritative than some random joe on a forum. I'd say yeah, it's probably true.

Would hate to see tham disappear. I used several parts on my Marlin

I did a little googling, it looks like it's true this time.

The Author of the PB article was the PR manager from Race Face before he moved to PB and took his position there as editor...So unfortunately I think this is true...Very sad really.. Trek7k and I meet up with them at Interbike and from what we saw there was a solid product line for this coming season.

RIP RaceFace..

I just hope I hear otherwise soon.

I'd be very surprised of someone didn't purchase the brand and possibly the manufacturing assets...similar to the Titus deal last year.

I am hoping that something good comes of this....I have been using RaceFace on my bikes since 1987.

Now what I do hope that happens is who ever takes over fixes the distrubution as I think that may have been one of the issues.

All the aluminum bits on my Giant are Race Face and they have been excellent.

Scrolled wayy down the comments and found this,didn't know if ya'all seen it or not,maby,just maby;

 Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Officially nothing is 100% certain until Monday so this story is a tad premature. An official statement will be released early next week. We all just have to wait and see for now. Thanks again.

Who purchased Titus? I knew they were stopping production but not that someone stepped up and took them over.

That is suprising about RaceFace - they are on of the top brands.

One On purchased Titus and have said they have plans to keep the line up and going. One On has some sweet products too...I was worried at first as a Titus owner but it is looking good for the brand.
