Mickey Wade Posted June 17, 2016 Share Hi, am busy looking at a new 29 or 27 full suspension for my wife. I have heard that Trek, Cannondale and Pyga are the only makes to have a lifetime Guarantee on their frames? Certainly puts the ball in their favour ? Any advice please. ThanksAppreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterF Posted June 17, 2016 Share From the Pyga site :- "DURATION OF WARRANTYPYGA INDUSTRIES will guarantee its products from manufacturing and material defects for a period of 2 years from date of original purchase. Paint, decals and other decorative elements are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for a period of six months (6 months)."

GregM Posted June 17, 2016 Share Giant Lifetime guarantee and to be honest I've replaced 3 frames under it and got to know the guys at Dragon pretty well. They are handled local (within SA) at most LBS's and less than a week on each claim. pellieg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Pyga One Ten 29, but for R22k I want more than a 2 year warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will research all websites individually. Looking for best mid range soft tail bike for wife to do next year's Sani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you speaking as a bike agency who has handed frames back on behalf of other people, so it's not your frame that needed to be replaced 3 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Wade Posted June 17, 2016 Share Great thanks, will definitely look at Giant then also. Will go into a couple of bike shops up here to compare different brands. Would not have considered Giant before, but obviously worth looing at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Cremer Posted June 17, 2016 Share Specialized only has 5 years on their carbon frames - not sure about their guarantees on aluminium frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted June 17, 2016 Share can vouch for Giant as well. 2 frame replaced - no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted June 17, 2016 Share Lifetime warranty is obviously an important consideration - hopefully it comes with a bike that fits and is fun to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
