Is it true I heard this. Was wondering if true

I found it hard to believe too as its a class leading pro saw but apparently it is. I still think Stihl will replace it with something in the future. The trend these days is away from larger displacement saws and its the 25cc-80cc that are the sellers. Someone said a new 241 was coming (242?) but not sure how credible that is.

I heard from a reliable source it is being discontinued its only 50 less then 261c it don't sell as well

Big thread on AS about it. I think it's legit "while supplies last" then no more 241. I sure like mine...

Listed in Aus as while stocks last. This may a region only thing though. They don’t offer the bang for buck the 261 does but I’d take on any day over a 261

According to the state contract vendor, the 241 is "as supplies last". For what it's worth, he is showing a 400i in the system. He also has several 462s coming in! We have a 241 and that thing rips for what it is.

No, its not.

Just to bring some of the AS thread info over here, the further rumor taken from European forums is that the 241 will be getting a 261-style weight-shedding refresh with a new style clutch cover...but it may be a Euro-only (or at least not North America) deal since folks here tend to go cheaper (251) or bigger (261).

Bit the bullet today and put deposit on one at my dealer. First new saw I will have ever bought.

What are the supposed advantageous it has over the 261c?
I haven't encountered many 50cc saws that can run with the 261c...

 

[Cracker Boy]

I don't know but it's being discontinued isn't a a 40cc saw and I hardly ever see them come up used. I got a pretty good deal too. 469 with a 16 in bar.

Maybe this has been asked before but why are Stihl msrp saw prices lower in Florida then Minnesota?

 

[Cracker Boy]

Was 519 she gave me a break

I will now report that the MS241CM has been removed from Stihl Canada's site. When I looked before with the conversation happening on AS it was still listed but it's gone now. Will be limited to stock at the dealers, DC's must be out.

$539 for the 16" around here.

Weight and size. But most people want "power" so I don't think the 241 has ever sold very well. Thankfully I rebuilt my toasty one and have 2 at the moment.
