Limited Warranty (applicable for product purchased in the United States of America or Canada after 1 July 2021)
This Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) is a voluntary manufacturer’s warranty by Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc. for the United States and Specialized Bicycle Components Canada, Inc. for Canada (collectively, “Specialized”). It applies to the products
listed below, purchased in the U.S. or Canada after 1 July 2021 (the “Product(s)”) and is provided at no extra charge. Your rights under this Warranty are in addition to and separate from your legal rights as a purchaser of the Product which may vary by country,
state, province, or region. This Warranty does not affect these rights.
Before your first ride, please read the manual(s) provided with each Product. They contain important safety information and information about assembly, use, and maintenance. Specialized also recommends registering your Specialized bicycle upon purchase at
www.specialized.com. While registration is not required to take advantage of this Warranty, it will allow Specialized to provide you with better service in the future.
W h a t i s c o v e r e d u n d e r t h i s W a r r a n t y ?
As explained in more detail below, Specialized warrants the Products for a limited time from the date of original retail purchase against defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Specialized’s published guidelines. The
guidelines include, but are not limited to, information contained in technical specifications, user manuals and service communications. “Original retail purchase” means the Product was purchased new for the first time from an Authorized Specialized Retailer
or directly from Specialized. Partial warranty coverage can be transferred to subsequent owners, as detailed below.

in this definition. Frameset means a Specialized-branded frame equipped with a Specialized-branded rigid fork. Suspension forks and suspension parts are not included in the definition of frame or frameset. Frame includes seat stays and chain stays on
both rigid and full suspension models.

There may be an applicable warranty from the third-party manufacturer for non-Specialized components, such as drivetrain, brakes, or suspension parts. Warranty information for third-party components should have been included with the purchase of your
bicycle. Third-party components are not covered by this Warranty. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer will be able to provide you with more information.

Yes. The warranty period is always calculated from the date of original retail purchase and Specialized needs to be able to determine when and where the Product was purchased originally. Proof of purchase should be obtained from the original owner or the
Authorized Specialized Retailer who sold the Product.
W h a t a r e t h e T e r m s o f t h i s W a r r a n t y ?
To take advantage of this Warranty, a dated proof of original retail purchase must be presented to Specialized in North America. Proof of original retail purchase is needed whether you are the original retail purchaser or subsequent owner. In all events,
Specialized reserves the right to limit warranty service to the country where the Product was purchased. During the duration of the Warranty, Specialized will either repair the Product or, at Specialized’s option, replace it with the same or most similar Product
then available. That is because we do not keep inventory forever, so we may not have the exact replacement part or exact color available. If the Product is replaced, it needs to be returned to Specialized before the replacement is provided unless otherwise
agreed to by Specialized in writing. You will not be charged for shipping the Product to Specialized or receiving any replacement product, or for labor charges incurred in processing the Warranty.
W h a t i s n o t c o v e r e d b y t h i s W a r r a n t y ?
This Warranty is void under the following circumstances and does not apply to damage caused by:
•
Improper assembly or installation.
•
Crash, neglect, improper repair, improper maintenance, or other abnormal, excessive, or improper use.
•
Corrosion.
•
Improper alteration or installation of components, parts or accessories not originally intended for or compatible with the Product.
•
Failure to perform maintenance or service at appropriate intervals in accordance with the written instructions provided with the Product.
W h a t i s W e a r a n d T e a r a n d i s i t c o v e r e d u n d e r t h i s W a r r a n t y ?
Wear and tear refers to damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal riding. For example, your cassette and chain will, even if properly maintained, eventually wear out requiring replacement. The same applies to scratches and other potential
damage to the paint or graphics of your bicycle that can result from normal use and exposure to the elements. Your bicycle may over time also develop minor creaks or other noises while riding which usually means it requires maintenance. Wear and tear items are not
covered by this Warranty. The following is a non-exhaustive list of other typical wear and tear items not covered by this Warranty:
Aero bar pads •
Free hub bodies & pawls •
Helmet straps •
Bearings •
Handlebar grips & grip tape •
Mouth port & hydration accessories •
Brake pads •
Helmet foam pads •
Rubber moving parts •
•
•
•
Saddle cover •
Shifter, brake cables & casings •
Spokes •
Sprockets •
Stripped threads/bolts •
Tires •
Tools
Transmission gears
Wheel braking surfaces
H o w d o I s t a r t t h e W a r r a n t y p r o c e s s ?
The first step is to visit your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer. Your retailer will inspect the Product and contact Specialized for next steps. Contact information for your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer can be found on www.specialized.com.
W h a t a r e m y o p t i o n s i f t h e d a m a g e i s n o t c o v e r e d b y t h i s W a r r a n t y ?
As riders we understand accidents happen. Even if the damage is not covered by this Warranty, there may be a program available in your local market to purchase a new replacement Product at a reduced price. You should inquire with your Authorized
Specialized Retailer and/or with Specialized directly whether such program is in place and whether you are eligible.

THIS IS A FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF SPECIALIZED’S WARRANTY FOR THE PRODUCT. NO OTHER REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND BY ANYONE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THE PRODUCT. SPECIALIZED’S
LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY SHALL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW BE NO GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE AND IN NO EVENT SHALL SPECIALIZED BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY SPECIALIZED’S NEGLIGENCE. Some states, provinces, or countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages or warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a certain provision of this Warranty does not apply, all other provisions shall remain in full force
and effect.
