SCOTT bikes are made using the most innovative production and quality methods. They
are equipped with best components of well known parts suppliers.
Doing so SCOTT warrants its frames and swingarms for five years (subject to compliance
with maintenance ranges, see below) and SCOTT forks (provided it is a fork of SCOTT)
for two years for defects in material and/or workmanship in case of purchase of
completely assembled bikes.
This warranty of 5 years for the frames shall only be granted in case once a year a
maintenance service has been effected according to maintenance requirements as set
forth in this manual by an authorised SCOTT dealer.
The authorised SCOTT dealer shall confirm the effected annual maintenance service by
stamp and signature.
In case such an annual maintenance service has not been effected the warranty of
5 years for the frame shall be reduced to 3 years.
Costs for maintenance and service have to be born by the owner of the SCOTT bike.
On Gambler, Voltage Fr and Volt-X the warranty period is limited to 2 years.
The warranty period starts at the day of purchase. This warranty is limited to the first
buyer, what means the first person who uses the bike and only with the use it was made
for. Furthermore, this warranty is limited to purchases via authorized SCOTT-dealers
The warranty is solely granted in case of purchase of a completely assembled bike to the
explicit exclusion of purchases of not completely assembled bikes.
In case of a warranty claim the decision to repair or to replace the defective part is up
to SCOTT. Non defective parts will only be replaced at the guarantee’s own expense.
Fair wear and tear is not covered by the warranty.
A complete list of all parts of wear and tear can be found in the next chapter of this
manual.
In addition, you will find at the end of this manual a protocol for the handing over of the
bike which will remain in copy at the SCOTT dealer after acceptance and signature of
the consumer.
It is obligatory to show this protocol of handing over together with the defective part
in case of a warranty claim given that it provides evidence of purchase. Otherwise no
warranty is granted.
In principle, this warranty is granted worldwide. Claims must be made through an
authorized dealer, for information regarding the nearest dealer, write or call this
company or the national SCOTT distributor.
Normal wear, accident, neglect, abuse, improper assembly, improper maintenance by
other than an authorized dealer or use of parts or devices not consistent with the use
originally intended for the bicycle as sold are not covered by this warranty.
Hereby SCOTT grants a voluntarily manufacturer’s warranty. Additional entitlements
according to national warrant of merchantability are reserved.
