Suspension attachment points, suspension related equipment (including pivot points, chain stays, seat stays, shock links and fasteners) have a Lifetime warranty to the original owner for any manufacturer’s defects, which does not include normal wear and tear, such as bearings and bushings.
All components attached to the bicycle/frameset, which are not manufactured by RSD Bikes, but only included with the original purchase, such as, but not limited to, saddle, front suspension forks, rear shocks, wheels, drive train, brakes, seat post or Dropper Post, crank-set, handlebar and stem or any other components are warrantied for 1 year from the date of purchase from each respective manufacturer.

RSD Bikes recommends that your bicycle be assembled and cared for by a professional, such as a local bicycle dealer/shop.
To exercise the rights under this Limited Warranty, pictures of the damages and/or defects, as well as the serial number, which is located underneath the bottom bracket, must be taken in clear daylight and in focus, and must be emailed together with a proof of purchase showing the purchaser name, which should match the name of the person claiming a warranty.
Based on approval, RSD Bikes will request that the damaged or defective item be sent back for inspection or be disposed under specific guidelines. For the purpose of inspection, the cost of shipping the item back to RSD must be paid by the person claiming the warranty.
The damaged or defective item will be repaired or replaced, at RSD Bikes’ sole option. Be aware that an exact warranty replacement may not be possible, in which case we will replace it with the closest matching item as may be possible. A warranty item has no monetary value.
The original owner shall pay all labour charges connected with the repair or replacement of all parts. Under no circumstances does this Limited Warranty include the cost of travel or shipment to RSD Bikes. Such costs, if any, shall be borne by the original owner.
Every RSD bicycle, RSD frameset and RSD aluminum & carbon fork have a useful product life cycle. Nonstandard use, including without limitation, use in competitive events, jumping, aggressive riding, riding with heavy loads, can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a RSD bicycle or frameset. In addition, exposure of the product to humid, warm, ocean conditions and/or exposure to salinity (whether from salt water, sweat, salinity in the air) is likely to cause corrosion of the product and will shorten the product life cycle. You are advised to clean your product regularly to avoid such corrosion.
ALL RSD BICYCLES AND FRAMESETS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED BY A DEALER/LOCAL BICYCLE SHOP for indicators of stress, potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse.
