Dear Sir or Madam,
We hope this letter finds you in good health and that your business continues to thrive. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of Snowmoto. We are writing to inform you that we have reviewed our Snowmoto sales structure and have decided to transition from our traditional distributor-based sales model to a direct-to-consumer (D to C) model effective September 10, 2026, with the exception of certain authorized dealers.
This decision was driven by the stagnation of the domestic economy in recent years, as well as rising manufacturing and logistics costs resulting from the historic depreciation of the yen. Amid declining domestic demand due to soaring retail prices, we anticipate that this challenging trend will continue.
To maintain prices that are as affordable as possible under these circumstances and to continue delivering our products to you, we have made the difficult decision to switch to direct sales by the manufacturer.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to our distributors and all related parties who have dedicated themselves to sales.
Through market development and customer service, you have provided tremendous support in popularizing Snow bikes—a niche market—and building a community of enthusiasts. Moving forward, in line with this organizational change, we are committed to providing even more responsible service and prompt responses, and we will strive wholeheartedly to meet your expectations. We sincerely ask for your continued support and patronage.
Please find below details regarding our product lineup for the 26-27 season.
Sincerely,
Products Available for the 26-27 Season

拝 啓
時下ますますご清栄のこととお慶び申し上げます。日頃よりスノーモトをご愛顧賜り、厚く礼申し上げます。さて、このたび弊社ではスノーモトの販売体制を見直し、2026年9月10日より一部の販売店様を除き、従来の代理店販売方式からメーカー直販方式(D to C)へ移行することといたしました。この決定に至った背景には、近年の国内経済の停滞に加え、歴史的な円安の進行に伴う製造費及び物流費の上昇がございます。販売価格の高騰により国内需要が減少する中、今後もこの厳しい傾向が続くと予想されます。弊社といたしましては、このような状況下でも少しでもお求めやすい価格を維持し、皆様に製品をお届けし続けるため、メーカーによる直接販売という苦渋の決断に至りました。これまで販売にご尽力頂いた代理店及び関係者の皆様には、市場の開拓やお客様対応を通じ、スノーバイクという限られた分野の普及と愛好家層の形成に多大なるお力添えを賜りました。この場をお借りして、心より深く感謝申し上げます。
今後は体制変更に伴い、これまで以上に責任を持ったサービスと迅速な対応に努め、皆様のご期待に沿えるよう誠心誠意邁進してまいる所存です。なお、26-27シーズンの製品展開につきましては、下記の通りご案内いたします。
敬 具
