Warranty Policy

Univega USA is committed to bringing you the best possible ownership experience with our bicycles assembled in our factory in South Carolina. If you have any issues that you feel should be considered for a warranty review, it is important that you visit an authorized Univega USA retailer. They will be your best point of contact and most able to help you manage any issue you may be having regarding workmanship or manufacturing defect.

 Univega USA will provide the original retail purchaser of each new Univega USA bike the following warranty against defects in materials and/or workmanship and according to the following conditions and limitations:

useful product life cycle

Every UNIVEGA USA bicycle and frameset has a useful life cycle.
 This useful life cycle is not the same as the warranty period. The warranty identifies the period of time that UNIVEGA USA will replace the product if this becomes necessary. When UNIVEGA USA provides a lifetime warranty, this does not guarantee that the product will last forever. The length of the useful life cycle of a UNIVEGA USA bicycle will vary depending on the type of bike, riding conditions and care the bike receives. Competition, jumping, downhill racing, free-riding, trick riding, trial riding, riding in severe conditions or climates, riding with heavy loads or any other non-standard use can substantially shorten the useful product life cycle of a UNIVEGA USA bicycle or frame set. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure of a UNIVEGA USA bicycle or frame set that would not be covered by this warranty. All UNIVEGA USA bicycles and frame sets should be periodically checked by an authorized UNIVEGA USA dealer for indication of potential failures including cracks, corrosion, dents, deformation, paint peeling, and any other indications of potential problems, inappropriate use or abuse. These are important safety checks and very important in the prevention of accidents, bodily injury to the rider, and a shortened useful product life cycle of any UNIVEGA USA bicycle or frameset. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
