The new warranty provision replaces the previous system with a warranty period of two to five years. In addition to racing bikes and gravel bikes from Ridley and Eddy Merckx, framesets from Nukeproof (MTB) and Aeres (trekking) are also covered. The warranty applies to all bikes purchased since 1 January 2026 and registered with the relevant manufacturer within a 30-day period. Downhill models from Nukeproof are an exception. Here, the two-year warranty remains unchanged, according to BCF.
Registration and maintenance required
The umbrella brand based in Beringen/Belgium wants to expand its "commitment to long-lasting products" with this step. "We are investing in long-term trust instead of short-term commercial incentives," BCF Managing Director Jochim Aerts is quoted as saying in the press release. Other manufacturers such as Cannondale, Giant, Specialized and Trek also offer their customers a lifetime guarantee.
The term "lifetime" refers to the technical service life of the frame when used properly and serviced annually by a licensed dealer. Accordingly, BCF gives a maximum guarantee of ten years from the date of purchase.
