Bontrager Carbon Aerobar crash replacement policy
Assessing any damage done to a carbon fiber part requires more experience
than is needed to inspect metal parts. If you crash your bike and the main
force of the impact is absorbed by the handlebar, we strongly encourage you to
replace the bar, even if there are no visual indications of damage.
If this crash occurs within one year from the date of retail purchase,
Bontrager offers a crash replacement program, substantially reducing replace-
ment cost. To take advantage of this program, contact us using the information
listed above, and ask for the Warranty department.
