I don’t see what the big deal is with that? The new co would assume all obligations of the former Stasis. In fact they already had. They are already one company. The nomenclature is irrelevant.

It’s like a ‘merger of equals’ that ends up changing from Simon Motorsports and William motorsports into Simon-William motorsports…and eventually Simon motorsports.

I just read the PR. It states that they shed Stasis completely.

“Whilst we have broadened our own product lines and grown the Revo dealer network globally too, perhaps the most gratifying aspect was the collective agreement of respective management teams in concluding that the Revo core market segments and its research and development priorities were best progressed independently of the STaSIS business”.”

independantly of the stasis name…but they’re still selling ohlins and shit. They’ll just be revo suspensions?

#3228

The way I read this announcement, REVO is shedding the Stasis brand and keeping the assets.

I wonder if REVO will honor all warranties or nullify them outright.

Man, who could have ever seen this coming!? lol

#3229

funny we all thought it was Stasis buying REVO two years ago. the way it looks like Stasis ownership is distributed, I don’t think anyone could figure it out. I’m not sure what was actually engineered there…

Hopefully it will now be a place run by car guys and not financial guys.

#3230

fixed, based on REVO’s legacy

#3231

ya i think recklessness is the issue, not thievery as far as I know

#3232

Let’s extend how far you know then.

The company was started when a group of Apr employees left and stole apr’s intellectual property to start revo and sell Apr code as their own.

Yeah right forgot about that.

#3243

Amazing how many people who purchase Revo don’t know that. But then again, how many of them would actually care?

#3244

It’s a bit yawn. In my industry there is litigation galore, it’s funny what gets classified as intellectual property. Half the patents (sometimes more) are usually invalidated and it’s very often we launch product at risk. Big headlines a few years ago that earned our team a nice bonus, we got to make a product for a month before the injunction, our owner made $1B in that time, in the counter suit only had to pay half of it back. Good times. There are plenty of arguments both ways and to say one side is clearly stealing from the other is pretty rare and ignorant.
