Manufacturer's Guarantee


When purchasing a new SCOTT bicycle from an authorized SCOTT dealer, SCOTT grants a manufacturer's guarantee subject to the following provisions.

Conditions

The manufacturer's guarantee is only granted to the first-time buyer of a new, unused SCOTT bicycle who has purchased it from an authorized SCOTT dealer or directly from SCOTT USA at https://www.scott-sports.com.

Duration

The manufacturer's guarantee is granted from the date of purchase for a period of five years on bicycle frames and rear ends.

For frames and rear ends of Category 5 (downhill) bicycle models and for rigid forks manufactured by SCOTT, the duration of the manufacturer's guarantee is limited to two years.

If a defect on the SCOTT bicycle is remedied within the scope of a manufacturer's guarantee or a warranty claim, the duration of the manufacturer's guarantee is not extended. The manufacturer's guarantee ends when the original buyer transfers ownership of the SCOTT bicycle to a third person.

Assertion

The manufacturer's guarantee is provided by SCOTT Sports SA, Route du Crochet 11, 1762 Givisiez, Switzerland. The buyer must inspect the SCOTT bicycle immediately after purchase and notify their authorized SCOTT dealer at once in writing of any obvious defects. Hidden defects must be reported immediately after their discovery. In the event of a guarantee claim, the SCOTT bicycle must be handed over to an authorized SCOTT dealer, who will contact SCOTT to remedy the defect. The assertion of a guarantee claim always requires the presentation of the original proof of purchase.

Performance of SCOTT in the Event of a Guarantee Claim

In the event of a guarantee claim, SCOTT will, at its own discretion, repair the defect or replace the defective product with a product of similar quality, whereby color and model deviations are possible. If a repair or replacement is not possible, a purchase price refund will be made taking into account previous use. SCOTT is entitled to commission third parties to remedy the defect.

Limitations

The manufacturer's guarantee applies exclusively to frames, swingarms and rigid forks of SCOTT bicycles. Bicycle components are excluded from this manufacturer's guarantee.

The manufacturer's guarantee does not apply to normal wear and tear, damage caused by accidents or other excessive force on the SCOTT bicycle, corrosion, improper maintenance, incorrect assembly, assembly of unsuitable components or accessories, or cosmetic defects (for example in the varnish).

The manufacturer's guarantee does not apply to SCOTT bicycles that have been used in a rental shop.

These manufacturer's guarantee provisions apply to all SCOTT bicycles as of May 4, 2026.

Statutory warranty rights of the buyer and guarantees of component manufacturers (Shimano, SRAM, etc.) remain unaffected by this manufacturer's guarantee.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes in connection with this manufacturer's guarantee is Freiburg, Switzerland. This manufacturer's guarantee is subject to Swiss law to the exclusion of all legislation that refers to foreign law.

Accident Replacement

We get it — sometimes accidents happen. Maybe you got a little too rowdy in that rock garden, clipped a pedal going for a sprint finish in a crit, or even forgot your bike was on top of your car as you pulled into the garage. At SCOTT, no matter if you're the first or second owner, we want to get you back up and riding as soon as possible, which is why we offer our Accident Replacement program.

To qualify for this program, you must:

  • Take the product to a SCOTT dealer for evaluation.

We'll then work with the dealer to provide a replacement at a discounted rate.* Keep in mind this is subject to availability,** but we'll do everything we can to get you back to riding as soon as possible.

* Pricing varies based on model and year of the product.

** Exact replacement is the first option. If that's not available, alternative options will be provided depending on availability.
