Race Face Closure Confirmed

It is with much regret that we have to announce that after 18 years of trading, Race Face components has gone into administration. Last Friday the 11th March 2011 saw one of mountain biking's premier component manufacturers switch off the machines and close its doors for the last time. We have been involved with Race Face since the late nineties distributing their range of hardware components, soft goods and armour to the UK market. Even after this shock news everyone here at Silverfish remains behind the cutting edge brand 100% as we are sure that new life will be breathed back into the Vancouver machine shop once a new owner has been found. It has been great to see the huge amount of support for Race Face from riders who have been posting and replying to the news stories all over the web. Race Face have been leading the charge since the beginning and pushed every envelope going; from innovative and technologically advanced carbon technology right through to helping pioneer the freeride movement on the North Shore. Silverfish UK Marketing Manager Pete Drew said "there remains a huge amount of interest in the Race Face brand amongst our customers and we are confident that the current position will have a positive outcome. We still have an excellent range of Race Face products in stock and will continue to sell these in the coming months". We are confident that a new owner will be identified shortly. Obviously Silverfish will continue to provide support to all our customers, and will continue to honour all warranties for Race Face product supplied by Silverfish UK. We hope to work closely with Race Face and their administrators in the coming weeks in an attempt to ensure that UK riders can continue to use the high quality products that have become synonymous with the Race Face brand. We will keep you posted. The Silverfish Team www.silverfish-uk.com
