Arai Tour x4 price fix?

[chr999chr]

The brother has asked me to see if i can find a deal on a Arai tour x4. He is not very good at the internet thingy.

So i embarked on a search for a Arai Tour x 4 in mission black. After countless minutes i came to the conclusion that Arai must be telling the dealers not to discount their Tour X helmets. Every online site has the price fixed at £499 and not a penny less.

I have checked the usual big sites that came up on a google search, as a challange can anyone find a Tour x 4 Mission black or any multicolour for less than £499 which is  :eek  for a helmet anyway.

Tell him to stop being such a pain and cough up  :lol


I much prefer the adventure white which can be had for £439

I only managed to get my Arai Chaser for £20 less than asking price as it was the last one in the shop. They are getting a little pricey now, but oh so comfy.

It's not unusual, I work with e-commerce merchants and often their suppliers will insist that they cannot reduce the price of a product beyond say 10% of the RRP they specify, even in a clearance sale. Certain cycle manufactures in particular do this. It's because they want to maintain their brand as a premium brand, and don't want their products to be seen going cheap. And if you break the rule then they WILL cut you off. That's not to say the rules never get broken of course!
