This warranty becomes null and void in its entirety if any changes are made to the frame, the fork or components.
This warranty is explicitly restricted to the repair or replacement of defective components and this is the only option for
fulfilling the terms of this warranty. This warranty becomes valid as of the date of purchase, it only applies to the direct
purchaser (first owner), and cannot be transferred. This warranty is only applicable to WHEELER bicycles that had been
purchased from an authorised WHEELER bicycle dealer or sales partner. The intercycle company is not liable in any way
for accidents and consequential damage or for damage caused by incorrect or inappropriate use. Making a claim under
the terms and conditions of this warranty must be done through an authorised WHEELER bicycle dealer or sales part-
ner. It is necessary to provide the original sales receipt. The bicycle must have been registered at intercycle "go ride"
before any claims under warranty can be processed. The product warranty must have been activated to make it valid.

no claims can be made under warranty for bicycles and frames that are used for competitions and racing.
Please read the operating instructions for models from 2012 or earlier or else contact us or an authorised dealer with
regard to the applicable warranty.
replacement program
If a carbon fibre component or frame is involved in a crash or a fall or is subject to an impact, it takes an above-average
level of technical knowledge, compared to that for components made of metal, to determine if it is still intact. If your
bicycle was damaged during a fall or an impact and the stress was taken up by the carbon fibre component, we recom-
mend as a matter of urgency that you replace the component, even if no signs of damage are visible. We know how
valuable your WHEELER bicycle is for you and how hard it can be to replace a frame or components at your own cost.
In order to try and help you here, intercycle offers its customers a replacement program. Under this program you are
given a discount on a replacement frame or spare part if it was damaged in a way that is not covered by the warranty.
You can obtain more detailed information on this from your local authorised WHEELER bicycle dealer.
