YOUR AUTHORIZED LAPIERRE 
DEALER (WITH A PROOF OF

DEPARTMENT HAS FINAL SAY 
IN ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS.

V - WARRANTIES

The warranty is valid starting from the original date of purchase of the bicycle and is applicable only for 

bikes used under normal conditions.

Our warranty conditions are as follows: 

Hardtail frames: 5 years (except for our Dirt bike: 2 years), full-suspension frames: 5 years 

(except for DH and Froggy bikes: 2 years).

Our warranty is not applicable if the bike is used in competition or in the case of misuse, lack of maintenance, 

accidents, normal wear and tear, or other abnormal treatment.

The Lapierre components have a 2 year warranty. Components from other brands are not warranted by 

Lapierre but directly by the brands concerned. Paintings and stickers are guaranteed for one year. 

For all warranty claims, the user must have a proof of purchase indicating the date of purchase from a 

Lapierre authorized dealer.

The dealer will perform an initial analysis of the problem. All warranty claims must be authorized by the 

Lapierre warranty claims department. The user must present the completed warranty booklet as well as the 

invoice statement. 

All warranty claims will be considered only following an expert review of the bicycle by Lapierre.

The dealer is responsible for paying any travel or shipment costs related to a warranty claim. All bikes or 

frames returned without due postage will be refused. Labor cost for the replacement of a frame or a triangle 

are at the expense of Lapierre, only if the claim is made less than 3 years after the date of purchase of the 

bike.

Should the bicycle or any of its parts be determined to be covered by this warranty, it will be repaired or 

replaced with a new, identical or corresponding part. Lapierre cannot guarantee the availability of all frames 

and colors. 

In case of any compatibility problems with other parts due to a replacement frame not being identical to the 

original one, Lapierre will deliver, free of charge, compatible replacement parts, if the claim is made within 3 

years of the original date of purchase of the bike. After these 3 years, the cost of these parts is at the owner’s 

expense should he accept the corresponding price quote.
