Rocky Mountain Bicycles Warranty

Your Rocky Mountain bike is warranted against defects in materials and manufacturing as per the following table: 

All warranty and after-sale service must be handled by the Authorised Rocky Mountain Dealer who sold the complete bicycle or frame. We cover your Rocky Mountain frame from the original date of purchase of your new bicycle against defects in material and workmanship, according to the frame material and the type of use made of the bicycle. 

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. The limited warranty applies for the remainder of the warranty period from the original date of purchase from Rocky Mountain. 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 2021 bikes and newer models, the original limited warranty is transferable to second-hand owners. 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. The original invoice will not be required for the second-hand owner.
