Kona

Managed to crack my 2006 The King frame and it was replaced with a 2010 Hei Hei, they also paid for the rebuild/frame swap

It's a 160mm bike with a lifetime warranty with a long top tube and the ability to run a triple. not sure about their snappyness though.

Your life or its life?

Indeedy, this is the case. A lifetime guarantee is not for your lifetime, but for what the manufacturer considers the life of a frame. TBF Marin used to say lifetime was 10 years, which I thought wasn't bad. I doubt even Spesh/trek or anyone else, with there highly rated warranty's, would be for much longer than that.

Spesh only have lifetime on the front triangle. Back end is 5 years and where the breakages usually occur.

Milky an, it does sound like you've described my Rune....lifetime warranty, 160mm travel, top tube is pretty long and it has a it react mount for a front mech.

It's not the lightest thing in the world, but it rides lighter than it is and is an absolute bomber of a bike down the hills.

Pretty sure that Banshee do.

2 year to original owner and a lifetime cash replacement (not sure of the details on the crash).

Marin every time.

Lifetime bearing replacement. Lifetime frame replacement. No quibbles, ho hassles.

They have been great with both a Alpine Trail rear triangle, changed from flimsy tube manufacture to more solid box made one

Attack Trail, replaced the swing arm after the rear drop outs cracked, this was 7 yrs since purchase.

No other manufacturer has come close IMHE
