For one year-

• All Bontrager parts

This warranty does not cover-

• Normal wear and tear
• Improper assembly
• Improper follow-up maintenance
• Installation of parts or accessories not originally intended for, or compatible with, the Bontrager components

This warranty is void in its entirety by any modification of the wheelset, or components.
This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of a defective item and is the sole remedy of 
the warranty. This warranty extends from the date of purchase, applies only to the original owner, and is not 
transferable. Bontrager is not responsible for incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the 
exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
Claims under this warranty must be made through an authorized Bontrager dealer. Proof of purchase is required.
This warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights, and those rights may vary from place to place. This war-
ranty does not affect the statutory rights of the consumer.
