Grip
Yeah, yeah... blah, blah.
Well they say that "imitation is the greatest form of flattery", so I suppose we should be flattered.
We've had quite a number of riders tell us that some guys are trying to sell copies of the GripSport Downhill carrier at one particular riding spot in Victoria.
Now the people who told us this were more than a little disturbed about the fakes, thought it was the wrong thing to do and suggested we set the lawyers onto those responsible… after all we DO have registered designs on all our products and there is this little term in law known as "Deceptive Similarity" that has belted Australian fakers about the head on more than one occasion before this. But like I said… I suppose we should be flattered that people want to copy our gear and for now we're still investigating all this and considering our next move.
But in the mean time we just wanted to remind people that GripSport has been around for over 10 years now. Our carriers have been designed from the ground up, have had full engineering specs done on them, are made from 100% Australian materials, are tested to destruction, are guaranteed for life and have millions of dollars worth of Product Liability Insurance backing them up.
Copies don't have all that. Copies are just that… copies… made to look like the original rather than actually being the original.
So remember folks. If it doesn't have the GripSport logo on it… it isn't genuine.
