UK warranty

Trek frames (except Session models) carry a lifetime warranty which applies only to the original owner, and is not transferable. Rigid forks and all Bontrager components and accessories are covered for five years. Paint, decals and all other original parts are covered for one year. Trek offers a crash replacement program for carbon parts, substantially reducing any replacement cost.
