bontraGer liMited warranty

Bontrager warrants each new Bontrager component or wheelset 

against defects in workmanship and materials:

For five years-

• All Bontrager components and accessories, except consumables 

such as tires and inner tubes.

For one year-

• Bontrager consumables such as tires and inner tubes.

this warranty does not cover-

• Normal wear and tear
• Improper assembly
• Improper follow-up maintenance
• Installation of parts or accessories not originally intended for or 

compatible with the Bontrager fork, components, or wheelsets as 

sold

• Damage or failure due to accident, misuse, abuse, or neglect
• Labor charges for part replacement or changeover

This warranty is void in its entirety by any modification of the 

wheelset or components.

This warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement of a 

defective item and is the sole remedy of the warranty. This warranty 

extends from the date of purchase, applies only to the original owner, 

and is not transferable. Bontrager is not responsible for incidental 

or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of 

incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not 

apply to you.

Claims under this warranty must be made through an authorized 

Bontrager dealer. Proof of purchase is required.

This warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights, and those 

rights may vary from place to place. This warranty does not affect the 

statutory rights of the consumer.

Carbon crash replacement policy

Assessing any damage done to a carbon fiber part requires more 

experience than is needed to inspect metal parts. If you crash or 

impact your bike and the force of the impact is absorbed by a carbon 

part, we strongly encourage you to replace the part, even if there are 

no indications of damage.

If such a crash or impact occurs, Bontrager offers a crash replace-

ment program for carbon parts, substantially reducing any replace-

ment cost. To take advantage of this program, contact us using the 

information listed on page i, and ask for the Warranty department.
