Nope. Apparently they stopped importing sue to Cove being difficult to deal with. Well this was what i was told when inquiring about getting a Hummer recently.
CRC are the best option.

He does Cotic. And used to bring Pace in too.
Hadn't heard he was doing Cove.

Ah didn't realise that, I had heard they are a bit difficult to deal with.

The problem with Cove is that they want importers to buy a big order of bikes rather than a few here and there.
That said, the Shocker, STD, Hummer etc are awesome bikes. Shame no one does them in NZ.

A couple of years back I got a great deal on a Cove from Southshore Bikes in Oz. The owner, Adam, was easy to deal with and very helpful. In the end I bought a used Playmate frame which he built up for me. It was less than a year old and I saved over half the cost of a new frame.
The Cove website still lists SouthShore as the Australian distributor, I'd recommend them.

from personal exp. i WOULDNT bother , i got given 8 delivery dates for a cove over a 7 month time frame . and still had no luck. even krd gave up on them. so i got a santa cruz instead .
fig if they (cove NOT krd) were that hard to get a frame out off , then id hate to need parts !
krd were great trying to sort me out so big  to them.i had call personal call from them to tell me that he was sorry but he wasnt going to bring them in , he also said he had pretty much told them to stick it after that.
But cove , lovely bikes but i would never buy one now

Funny how CRC never have problems with stock etc though?
I highly recommend a COVE. If you want one- get it from CRC.
