Warranties ~ 

Most products are warranted by their manufacturers for 1 year from date of purchase. Hang onto your sales receipt because it will be required for any warranty claim. Keep in mind, warranties cover manufacturing defects not normal wear and tear, abuse, crash damage, or fatigue from use. Warranty replacement or repair is almost always at the discretion of the manufacturer. Products older than 30 days must be returned to the manufacturer for their evaluation. Of course, Cycles BiKyle will be happy to assist in warranty returns of all products purchased from us
