It’s a longer warranty I think. Mine is 3yrs old, but ‘as new’.
It just had its bearings done too, by Santa Cruz UK (which pissed off my LBS but Im sure they will be sighing with relief when they see it in the morning).
I’m not blaming SCUk for the bearing issue, but I think it might be tha cause as the bearing is really stiff. I’m sure it stressed the seat stay to the point of catastrophic failure.
I’ll look into headsets…just bought the lyrics recently, which made the bike a total hoot!
