Defects during which the geometry of the unit is damaged (accident or overloading or inappropriate

adjustment), or if there is evident leakage of air or oil caused by penetration of dirt and water under the
seal, there are clear grooves or traces of corrosion on the sliding parts, cannot be acknowledged in
relation to the rear suspension.

Steering

The warranty applies to material defects, deformation of the fork arms is not recognised if the stem is

tightened excessively or the stem is deformed after being extended above the mark for maximum
permissible extension. Operation of the bicycle requires control and adjustment of play in the headset,
which is why knocked out, corroded or dirty bearing tracks cannot be acknowledged as a justified claim.

Bottom bracket

Defects of the material and its thermal processing are included in the warranty. Normal adjustment of

play is not covered by warranty. It is also not possible to recognise deformed or stripped threads of
components and damaged crank arm torx sockets. Stripped bearing races and corroded parts are not
covered by warranty. Please regularly check the condition of the bottom bracket and react appropriately
to any potential origin of noticeable play immediately.

Pedals

The warranty applies to provable material defects. Wear as a result of use, loosening or cracking of

frame joints or bending of pins caused by impact are not a reason to recognise a claim. Generation of
sound and adjustment of play are not covered by warranty, but post-warranty servicing. Be careful of the
moving parts of pedals becoming loose, check that these are correctly tightened. The warranty does not
apply to loss of loose parts.

Wheels

The warranty covers material defects (cracked rim, hub, sprocket, axle) including defects of surface

treatment. A key criterion for accepting a warranty claim on the basis of operating play and noise
generated by the running of the sprocket is functionality. Stripped bearing races, penetration of dirt into
the freewheel element and hub bearings and corroded parts are not covered by warranty.

Brakes, gear shift mechanism, front and rear

Brakes, gear shift mechanism, front and rear derailleurs

derailleurs

The warranty covers material defects. The warranty does not apply to adjustment. Adjustment may

change as a result of storage, manipulation and cycling and repeated adjustment is part of normal
bicycle maintenance. Shifting gears, particularly using the front derailleur levers, requires some
sensitivity. The warranty cannot be applied to potential stripping of the mechanism as a result of use of
inappropriate force.

Saddle, seat post

The warranty covers material defects and the defect is assessed from the aspect of impact on

function. A claim cannot be applied on the basis of grooves caused by moving the seat post in the saddle
tube.  Claims  on  the  basis  of  the  seat  post  are  not  recognised  if  it  was  extended  past  the  mark  of
maximum  permissible  extension.  Claims  also  cannot  be  applied  against  bent  seat  posts  as  a  result  of
accident  or  overloading  when  jumping,  bending  of  the  saddle  rails,  damage  to  the  cable  guide  of
telescopic seat posts in the saddle tube, torn saddle covers, etc.

Chain

The warranty covers material defects (e.g., broken links). The warranty does not apply to wear as a

result of normal use. The warranty does not apply to broken chains as a result of insensitive gear shifting
(disconnection at the pin), deformation as a result of operation (overturning), operating wear (chain
stretch, so-called maximum permissible spacing between the links) and if maintenance is neglected
(corrosion, jamming due to dirt, etc.).

Reflectors, chainset cover, spoke cover

The warranty applies to material defects. Fractured or broken parts are not covered by warranty.

Disc and hydraulic brakes

The warranty applies to manufacturing and material defects. The warranty cannot be applied to

damage caused by accidents, neglected maintenance or unprofessional repairs. In the case of hydraulic
brakes, always use hydraulic brake fluid recommended by the manufacturer. The properties of brake
fluid differ so much that use of incorrect fluid can cause serious damage to the entire brake system.
