First, check yourself for injuries, and take care 

of them as best you can. Seek medical help if 

necessary.

Next, check your bike for damage on the spot.

Following any crash, take your bike to your 

Authorised Nukeproof Dealer for a thorough 

check.

Warning: A crash or other impact 

can put extraordinary stress on 

bicycle components, causing them 

to fatigue prematurely. Components 

suffering from stress fatigue can 

fail suddenly and catastrophically, 

causing loss of control, serious injury 

or death.

Over time due to wear out of components 

or a desire to upgrade, it is likely that one 

or more components of your bicycle will 

need to be replaced. Please consult your 

Authorised Nukeproof Dealer when choosing 

replacement parts – it is very important that 

suitable, genuine parts are selected and 

properly installed to maintain the safety and 

performance characteristics of your Nukeproof 

bicycle.

Warning: Failure to select and 

properly install suitable, genuine 

replacement parts may lead to 

unforeseen changes in the safety 

and performance characteristics of 

your bicycle.

It is recommended that you use Authorised 

Nukeproof Dealer-recommended OEM 

replacement parts for any components of 

your bicycle that require replacement. Your 

Nukeproof bicycle was carefully designed and 

tested with the components provided, and 

changes to these parts can result in different 

performance characteristics.
