Hahaha got me there well I’m just speaking for some people that keep their bikes more then 5 years and want lifetime warranty, and sometimes the words “lifetime warranty” sales to the consumer a lot better

If you want me to take a dump in a box, and mark it guaranteed I will... I've got spare time.

I'm going to agree with bizutch. The warranty game is one huge problem in the mountain bike world. No other product do we expect to last a "lifetime", especially something mechanical.

What I want more is products that are built to be fixed in a modular kind of way. Transition 100% honors this mentality.

If I smash a chainstay, I can easily order one for a fair price. Roast a set of frame bearings? $80 and I'm back out there. We end up paying for warranty one way or another. Pricing is always passed down to the consumer.

These aren't fly rods. They are pounded in the mountains everyday and require real materials and labor to make.

End the ridiculous bike warranty culture, let prices drop, and let us fix stuff at reasonable prices.

Oh, and yeah, you won't break this.

I'm not mad at the companies that offer lifetime warranties, but you have to have serious muscle to be able to do that. Not everyone does...

I broke a front triangle taking a rock to the downtube (juuuust missed the protector) at about 20mph. Not at all a manu issue, but Transition sorted me out with a new front tri at about the cost it would have taken for me to get it repaired. Stoked on that kind of service.

As a consumer though when it says “lifetime” that means the company has 100% confidence in their product when you see 2, 5, or 7 year it’s like soooooo does that mean it’s gonna break or something when those years hit?

That's a foolish way to think about it. There's a lot of grey area when it comes to whether something is a manu defect or consumer error. Companies with lifetime warranties are saying they can cover that grey area indefinitely. That costs money, because every single manufacturer has problems at some point. Companies with a limited span on their warranty don't necessarily make an inferior product, they simply don't have pockets deep enough to do that given the volume they sell.

Again, take Santa Cruz and their Reserve wheels, where they literally just ship you a whole new wheel, hub, spokes and all, when you break one. That's frickin awesome, but how does it communicate that they have confidence in their product? Literally everyone I know with a set of Reserve wheels has had at least one warrantied. They build the cost it takes to have that policy into the price of the wheels, while taking into account the volume they sell.

How do you know the guaranteed fairy isn't some crazy glue sniffer... He sneaks into your house once and that's all it takes. Next thing you know, there is money missing off your dresser and your daughter is knocked up! I've seen it a hundred times.

Lifetime warranty exists in bikes because it sells more units. But it is NOT real like a construction Performance Bond( which will pay to have a job completed if the contractor fails). There is no insurance policy that kicks in to give you cash back if the company or its suppliers collapse. And ask Turner what happens when your suppliers collapse. Dave had no quick or financially salvageable recourse to restore his investment or protect his clients. He had to take a massive hit and could have lost his company. If that happens to a company...consider your lifetime warranty as valuable as a fist bump.

Leave shock pump at home only to realize you need it to set fork pressure?

Eh, but NX is heavy, and the frames are built to last. Its an enduro bike, not a trail bike.

I applaud Transition for making bikes that are servicable, reliable and (likely) to outlast the competition.

I'm riding one of their alloy frames now. My bike is not light. I have no problems going uphill compared to a lighter enduro rig and am less scared when I throw it into a pile of rocks. YMMV.
