Rocky Mountain’s limited warranty also covers bicycles previously used for personal and commercial activity such as rental (including at bike parks), courier services, police, security, etc., against defects in material and workmanship.

In such cases, hardware, bearings, pivots, and bushings are excluded from our warranty policy. The original sales receipt, bicycle registration confirmation or other proof of purchase is required for all claims.

For the limited warranty to apply, the registration of the bike must be done online both by the original owner and the second-hand owner.
