USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Every  Specialized  bicycle  and  frameset  has  a  useful  product  life  cycle.  The  length  of  that  useful  product  life  cycle  will  vary  with  the  construction  and  materials  of  the  bicycle  or  frameset,  the  maintenance 
and  care  the  bicycle  or  frameset  receives  over  its  useful  product  life  cycle,  and  the  type  and  amount  of  use  the  bicycle  or  frameset  is  subject  to.  Uses  in  competitive  events,  trick  riding,  ramp  riding, 
jumping,  aggressive  riding,  riding  on  severe  terrain,  riding  in  severe  climates,  riding  with  heavy  loads,  commercial  activities  and  other  types  of  non-standard  use  can  dramatically  shorten  the  useful  product 
life  cycle  of  a  Specialized  bicycle  or  frameset.  Any  one  or  a  combination  of  these  conditions  may  result  in  an  unpredictable  failure  of  a  Specialized  bicycle  or  frameset  that  would  not  be  covered  by  this 
warranty. ALL SPECIALIZED BICYCLES AND FRAMESETS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED BY AN AUTHORIZED SPECIALIZED DEALER for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including 
cracks,  deformation,  corrosion,  paint  peeling,  dents,  and  any  other  indicators  of  potential  problems,  inappropriate  use,  or  abuse.  These  are  important  safety  checks  and  very  important  to  help  prevent 
accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.

Special  Note  regarding  Composite  Frames  and  Components:    Composite  materials  develop  their  strength  and  maintain  strength  only  if  the  integrity  of  the  part  is  fully  maintained.    Pay  special  attention 
to,  and  periodically  and  carefully  inspect  composite  frames  and  components  for  signs  of  dents,  fraying,  gouging,  scratches,  fracture  lines,  chipping.  In  the  event  of  a  crash  or  serious  impact,  or  if  any 
of  the  foregoing  signs  are  observed,  the  component  and  frame  should  not  be  ridden  until  inspected  by  an  Authorized  Specialized  Dealer.    For  your  safety,  Specialized  recommends  replacing  composite 
handlebars after three years of use.
