Scope of Warranty Coverage
- Repaired or replaced parts that malfunction, or do not work as intended or designed.
- Warranty extends to cover the labor cost of part replacement and any other repairs specifically resulting from the initial repair, except in the situations outlined below.
Warranty Does Not Protect Against
After Manticore repairs the components, the warranty does not protect against:
- Subsequent mishandling that causes the unit to bend, twist, or crack
- Problems caused by water or foreign contaminants
- Damage resulting from attempted customer repairs or tampering with internal hardware
- New malfunctions or damages unrelated to the original repair
- Issues which arise from normal wear and tear during riding
Our warranty also does not cover the outcome of a repair if certain pre-repair conditions exist, including:
- Existence of known manufacturing and/or performance issues related to the device separate from the repair, as noted prior to the repair
- Existence of damage to the unit, as noted prior to the repair
- Tampering with internal hardware: under certain conditions, internal damage may make a repair impossible. Your technician will be able to explain in further detail upon diagnosing your specific component.
The warranty is valid only for the specific device repaired and the original customer; it is not transferable across components or if the component is sold or given to another individual.
If a customer’s component is damaged as a direct result of a repair attempted by one of Manticore’s technicians, Manticore will attempt to refurbish the component, with the original repair issue resolved. If refurbishing is not possible, Manticore will replace the component with a product of equal or greater value to the damaged component based on the model’s fair market value given its condition as received, as determined by Manticore.
The normal turnaround time for repairs sent to Manticore’s Repair Department is approximately 1 week, starting the day after the item is received at Manticore.
Manticore Work Authorization and Service Waiver
By submitting repairs to Manticore, the customer agrees to the following conditions:
I authorize Manticore to perform repair work on my suspension component. I understand that Manticore repair technicians have been trained to perform device repairs, but Manticore are in no way affiliated with manufacturer. Further, I agree to release, indemnify, and hold Manticore from liability for any claims or damages of any kind or description that may arise from any repair work performed, unless it is caused by severe negligence of Manticore or its agents.
I understand that repairs or technical support rendered by Manticore may void manufacturer warranties for this component. Manticore and its affiliates do not assume any liability or warranty in the event that the manufacturer warranties are voided but may, at its sole discretion, offer its own warranty on the parts and/or services performed.
I further understand that it is my responsibility to inform Manticore accurately with regard to the model description and condition of my component, as well as whether any modifications or repairs have previously been attempted or completed. A Manticore technician will perform a check-in diagnosis of my component to evaluate its condition. If the component arrives at Manticore in noticeably different condition than previously described, I acknowledge that additional charges may apply. I understand that a Manticore technician will contact me to discuss the discrepancies and potential additional costs.
The customer understands that they will be initially removing and later reinstalling the product when it is returned from Manticore, and that correct installation of the repaired component back onto the bicycle is the responsibility of the customer. If the customer is uncertain on how to remove or install a component, Manticore recommends taking the product to a local bike shop for assistance by a professional mechanic.
As the customer, I recognize that the careful packing and shipping of my suspension component to Manticore is my responsibility. If the product arrives with further damage, or is lost in transit, I bear full responsibility for that risk of loss as the shipper.
If any device should be lost or damaged further than the condition it was released to Manticore in, Manticore’s liability will be limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the component in its condition at the time of transfer to Manticore based on current fair market value. Manticore’s liability for damages from any cause when it comes to repairing your product is limited to the cost of the repair service or a comparable replacement component. Manticore and its affiliates have no liability whatsoever for indirect or consequential damages resulting from a repair or repair attempt, including any lost profits or revenue of the customer.

To the extent that we may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of our liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.
