Azarathal Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Zhi split from Echo and deng has a strong hatred of zhi. I think he threatened to stop selling to Tarty if they stocked Zhi too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoox Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Zhi split from Echo and deng has a strong hatred of zhi. I think he threatened to stop selling to Tarty if they stocked Zhi too. The first part is correct, but I am not sure whether Echo did threaten Tarty to stop supplying as Tarty is one of their largest customers and also a very popular retailer. Echo and Zhi used to be a single company run by three partners who were also good friends. One of them nicked the designs and started Zhi on his own. Apparently this man has gone great lengths to harm Echo and compromise its reputation by reportedly impersonated Echo and selling Echo products that of course were never delivered as he has no Echo stock; afterwards customers contacted Echo in anger to complain. Some of Zhi's frames look very nice, in fact I almost bought one a while ago, but Echo have been really nice to me and are an honest company whose success is based on quality and fair competition not screwing other people, so as a matter of principle I don't buy Zhi. Here in China, where Echo and Zhi are readily available and considerably more affordable than imported brands such as Monty or Koxx, there is a general consensus amongst trials riders that Zhi products are of lower quality.

Azarathal Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Do a search and you'll fine the echo refusing to supply if zhi is sold thread. Not sure if it was definitely tarty but it was a rather large shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
