USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Every Specialized bicycle and frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary with the construction and materials of the bicycle or frameset, the maintenance and care the bicycle or frameset receives over its useful product life cycle, and the type and amount of use the bicycle or frameset is subject to. Uses in competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure of a Specialized bicycle or frameset that would not be covered by this warranty. ALL SPECIALIZED BICYCLES AND FRAMESETS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED BY AN AUTHORIZED SPECIALIZED DEALER for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse. These are important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.

Special Note regarding Composite Frames and Components:

Composite materials develop

their strength and maintain strength only if the

integrity

of

the

part is

fully

maintained. Pay special

attention

to, and periodically and carefully inspect composite frames

and components for signs of

dents, fraying, gouging, scratches, fracture lines,

chipping.

In

the

event

of a

crash or serious impact,

or if any

of the foregoing signs are observed, the component and frame should not be ridden until inspected by an Authorized Specialized Dealer. For your safety, Specialized recommends replacing composite handlebars after three years of use.
