STIHL IS REDESIGNING ALL OF THEIR BARS! NEVER SEEN NEW SAWS!

[user 188535]

Stihl will be redesigning ALL of their bars to give them the new "graphic design".

• The Rollomatic ES will be the Strong X
• The Rollomatic ES Light will be the Light X
• The Duromatic will be the Strong X
• The Rollomatic G will be the Strong G

• Stihl will be making 80% of their product line battery electric by 2026 ( Likely for their 100th anniversary )
• Stihl has made the AK series saws into the MSA 60 C and MSA 70 C to accommodate more battery saws
• Stihl will be experimenting with alternative fuels
• Stihl is now installing EV chargers all over their campus to encourage employees to drive EVs

• Stihl will be coming out with the TS 910i and TS 710i cut-off machines

• Stihl will be coming out with some new GAS and battery walk-behind mowers ( This was seen at Equip Expo but nothing else in the video or this post were )

The video has much more Stihl news including some insider stuff I heard from my man at Stihl the last time I talked to him.



You heard it here first boys.

On the bars?

Big mistake…

The design looks good on SOME new saws IMO, but I am pretty pissed when I couldn't get a regular Rollomatic E for my 015 and had to settle on a Light 04.

This is really gonna piss off the saw restoration boys...

Not the bars…going all electric. Stupid.

Meh. The electric stuff is okay...

Electric (battery) is picking up more every year. Does a logger or pro want it? Probably not.
Is it great for homeowner that runs a tank a year? Absolutely!
For the firewood person doing 20 cord a year, not quite yet.
For the arborist in the area with noise laws, it is here.
Just depends on what you need. Some embrace change, some hate it.
Nothing wrong with a little freshening to catch the eye of the consumer. It WILL increase sales.
If they can't see it, they won't buy it.

Like the Dylan Mulvainy Light Beer thing, they better fire that marketing company.

I think the bars look stupid!

 

[lone wolf]

The bars look like they got tagged in graffiti!

 

[holeycow]

It is dead obvious that stylists have taken control of everything, pretty much.

Styling before function. Ridiculous

The nooks and crannies on most current model powersaws are dirt traps and a pita to clean.

Who needs a fancy paintjob on a bar? Someone who doesn't use their saw I guess. Dead giveaway...

Got no problem with the new graphics, I think they look good. Under the new paint those bars really look just like Oregon VersaCut. Anybody know?

They are ugly. Will have to sand off the paint or paint them white.

 

[holeycow]

If you actually use your saw, those uggly bars won't be ugly for long...

Don't know, but assume they are Stihl bars, not oregon. Same as before, only ugly.

 

[landfakers]

Well those sure are ugly, I know they fill fade off but what about simple graphics? It's not a fashion statement to run saws

 

[BeatCJ]

Does it change the price?
Dies it change the way they work?
If not, No ***** given. Rarely does anyone watch me run my saws.
I have no problem with battery small saws, but I hope they will find and stick with a single battery form factor. Changing just creates obsolescence.
