Hopefully, the Mojo's will last two or three meetings at a competitive pace, making the purchase price less of a concern.

On the food chain side - Mojo is owned by BRP, so I think the price the user sees depends on:
- Global rubber and energy prices
- BRP's tyre division operating profit aspirations
- If JAG want / need a cut of every set sold
- Total freight costs to point of sale
- How much the kart shops need to make to remain viable (I support this - we need good kart shops)

If support of the class is highest in BRP's mind, they need to accept low operating profit and take the benefit boost in their engine spares turnover, JAG need to minimise their take on tyres, and despatch direct from factory to sell through a few larger distributors with each earning enough to make it worthwhile, or cut their direct earnings to distribute through the parts vans / shops, allowing them to sell at competitive prices.
If the small kart shops don't make much from this currently, and its more of a service to comptitors, it could even pay to consider the other route and have tyre vans at the meetings delivered direct from BRP - these would be independants who make their profit by buying in bulk, and selling at meetings in decent quantities.
