It looks like Bionx is now move up to distribution model in Canada. My expectation is the product price will go up due to another cut need to be make by the distribution.

What does some of bionx riders think of this? Or dealer that have been getting the product from bionx directly?

Press Release
For immediate distribution

Sure hope that Cycles Lambert treats dealers in the same manner as we have been and not try to load us up with to much stock

I have tried 3 times now to contact Cycles Lambert for the change over in Jan 2010 but have yet to hear from them wondering any other dealers having a problem already with them
