CRASH REPLACEMENT

CRASH REPLACEMENT

In the event of an accident or severe crash, the 
high forces exerted on the frame and the fork can 
lead to structural failure during subsequent use. 
With our Crash Replacement (CR) programme we 
offer you the opportunity to replace your damaged 
Canyon frame at a greatly reduced cost. This offer 
is valid up to three years after the date of pur‑
chase. You’ll receive the same or a similar frame 
from our current product range (without add‑on 
parts, such as seat post, front derailleur or stem).

The CR‑service is limited to the original owner and 
to damages that compromise the functionality of 
the bike. We reserve the right to suspend this 
service if we detect that the damage has been 
caused unreasonably.

In order to claim the CR‑service, please contact 
our service department by calling our service hot‑
line or by online contact form.
