That used to be true; most of the market (OEM and aftermarket) was centered in Europe.
But I'll update this: Since Hayes' acquisition of Answer-Manitou, RST is making a bid for a stronger stateside presence with a new distributorship in Portland, OR - - from which they are also selling product direct-to-the-consumer. Their product line can be seen at:

The only one they are not selling out of the store is the 8" inverted Sigma. Instead they are pumping the 7" right-side-up dual-crown R1 as the (more consumer-acceptable) flagship.
