POD knee braces getting out of the game?

Post by NoPlan »

Hey guys.

The better half just got a set of pod knee braces last season and at end of season she cracked the platella guard. I went to GW to order a replacement and was told FOX no longer sells em and there is no support in canada anymore.

You guys hear that? the pods are so popular Im shocked.

Hello,

Yes, Fox is no longer selling them. They are now being distributed by Western Power Sports. I am not sure who in Canada is going to have a relationship with them in order to continue to sell the PODS and their accessories.

You can give them a call at 800 999 3388 or http://www.podmx.com/support/contact/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Blackfoot direct had them on sale a few weeks ago......Blackfoot Moto may have them on sale shortly..

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a Canadian distributor picked them up soon as they are really good.

Fingers crossed

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that while PODMX is no longer distributed by Fox Head (corporate name) they are distributed by WPS (Western Power Sports) in North America. While the majority of dealers in Canada will no longer have access to them or parts I have maintained my relationship with them and I have been having dialogue over the past few months. We were the first dealer to bring them into Canada back in 2006 one year before Fox picked them up.

I actually have lots of them in stock (I purchased a large quantity when Fox ended distributing) currently in both the K300 (white plastic) and K700 (carbon) models in all sizes. I was told a new model will be coming out next year as well.

I have some extra patella caps in stock along with rebuild kits.

I have them on special pricing right now as follows:

K300 regular $549.99 a set on for $449
K700 regular $899.99 a set on for $749

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Just remember it is Blackfoot Direct and not the main store.......we are just around the corner.

Thx,
Dean

Just an update on PODMX braces and replacement parts

We just recently received our order which had a large amount of the following

- patella caps in both SM/MD and L/XL
- strap kits
- ligaments
- full ligament rebuild kits
- padding kits

As mentioned in previous post we also have approx 50 sets of both the K300 and K700 sets in stock.

Thx,
Dean
