Pivot Increase New Bike Warranty To Ten Years

by 2

This year, Pivot Cycles are turning ten years old, and to celebrate they’re increasing their warranty periods to a decade for any new frames bought after June 1st this year. Now there’s confidence in your product, and we suppose at least ten years worth of data too.

Quoth President and CEO Chris Cocalis: “From the very start, our mission has been to produce the absolute best bikes, period. Our designs test to the highest levels of strength and durability, and are proven in the toughest events, ridden by the most demanding athletes. We stand proudly behind every product. This new warranty program is the best way to share this confidence with Pivot riders. It reflects our first-class customer service, remarkable product dependability, and the rider-satisfaction that comes standard with every Pivot”.

Pivot Cycles - 10 year warranty
Pivot have been around for nearly ten years, and they intend for each of their frames to be around for at least that long too.

Ex-demo bikes will only get a three year warranty.

David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly. Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.

    whilst I am sure the bikes are great, I bet the warranty only applies to original purchaser and they know hardly anyone keeps bikes that long

    as above by charliemort ………….. but a good gesture none the less I suppose.

    Real product confidence would be a warranty that covers any users ownership over the warranty period (1st owner, 2nd, 3rd) as long as the original proof of purchase could be provided – lets face it number of owners doesn’t increase its chance of breakage.

    No manufacturer would ever do that though …..
