I’ve never had a warranty for my Hemlock- bought used and already out of the warranty period. And then frankly beaten with a big stick. But I’ve had fast replacement parts for free or discount. Phoned up and said “Hey, I used this 5 inch bike for a 6 hour long downhill race at fort william and now it’s ****ed” and they sent me the bits I needed for free. Excellent phone advice, and I’ve been able to ask “hey, can I drill a hole in this thing for a stealth seatpost” and had the dude that designed it answer.
So all in all I’ve had better support from Cotic’s no warranty than I expect to get from a bike that does have a warranty.
Not been overwhelmed with Hope tbh- I broke a pro 2 axle, because the pro 2 maxle conversion wasn’t really fit for purpose. Asked if I could get the bits to upgrade to the fit-for-purpose Evo model, they kindly offered to sell them to me at RRP and wouldn’t even discount for the value of the replacement axle. The replacement axle broke too, same deal. Only good thing I can say is that they sent me 2 replacement axles that time “for the next time it happens”. But they knew fine well that product was substandard before i bought it, and they knew fine well both times i broke it.
