Paragon Track Performance Big Brake Kit 355x32mm - Group Buy (FL5/DE5)

[lmtlsauto]

Hi all,

There has been a discussion to possibly bringing a new Group Buy around the Paragon BBK for the FL5/DE5 platform. I have contacted the Paragon team and they are not opposed to the idea even though there was one already held for the FK8 platform.

I am looking for a general idea of how many people might be interested in this setup for their FL5 and can commit to a group buy.
This will be for their 355x32mm BBK so it allows more compatibility for those using 18in rims.

There will be an option for either caliper finishing, we have not decided if we do one or both finish during this group but depending on the want we can go from there.

Official pricing has not been given as Paragon is requesting a list of committed buyers first and general count of interest.


Pre-order/Group Buy Details:

1. Minimum of 5 participants required. 20 slots available on the group buy list

2. $1,000 deposit required.

3. Remaining balance required once group buy has been confirmed.

4. Participant list will be updated on this page daily


Based on the last group buy held by the FK8 community, I can give a general idea of pricing but this is NOT confirmed.

Tier 1: 5+ participants: 25% off MSRP

Tier 2: 10+ participants: 30% off MSRP

Tier 3: 15+ participants: 35% off MSRP


Payment:

• $1,000 deposit required by the end date, or pay in full ahead of time
• We will manually create the order for deposit / remaining balance on our website for each participant.
• All major cards, PayPal/PayPal Credit, and Affirm financing accepted

interested (duh)

I've seen the Alcon kit branded as "Paragon Alcon", so I assume there was some partnership with the development of that kit, but it looks like this is something different? How does this Paragon kit compare with that Paragon/Alcon kit?

 

[Djseto]

Alcon is a monoblock design. When I emailed Paragon, they said they make their caliper in their manufacturing facilities. It is not a rebranded Alcon, AP, etc...

 

[Djseto]

no more takers...?
