CCM & Canadian Tire

[Rustyhole 1]

i know a few years ago CCM Bikes and CCM Hockey were somewhat related to each other even sharing the logo

i thought that stopped once CCM was bought by Reebok with CCM Hockey coming out with a new logo to further differentiate itself

not to mention CanTire beginning to sell Schwinn branded bikes

but i see now that CanTire is selling various CCM bikes with the new logo?? any ideas

CCM bikes and CCM Hockey have been separate for quite a while now...since the early 80s.

Name was sold off and they kept on making bikes.

but wouldn't they have to use the old red/blue logo? to use the new logo wouldn't they need to licence from Reebok/CCM

if Reebok/CCM allowed it (as it appears they did) doesn't that defeat the purpose of changing it

That's solved with a licensing agreement - they're not competing against each other.

I seen a reebok bike at sportcheck, are they getting heavy into bikes now or is it just a few entry level models?

Just a few 'entry' level bikes. They try to punch above their weight in terms what the bikes have on them (ie disc brakes etc.) but to keep them at a lower price they use substandard components that dont work very well and cheap heavy frames. Steer as far clear as possible, sometimes less is more...

I dont plan on buying one anyways, but i am in the market for a new bike. Kona Five-O isnt really the bike i needed.

PM me if you need any help/advice :)

I read CCM bikes no longer exist, they're being made under the Oryx brand now. Website for CCM cycles is also gone and redirects you to Oryx.
