Product Protection

RideFast offers 3 levels of product protection.  Please read below to learn more, or feel free to contact our customer service (info@ridefastracing.com) with any questions you may have.

Warranty 
RideFast Racing warrants all products it manufactures to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of original purchase (regardless of any additional coverage offered under the Lifetime Guarantee Program or the Crash Replacement Program). This warranty is extended to the original owner of the product and applies solely to products purchased directly from RideFast Racing or an Authorized RideFast Dealer. This warranty is non-transferrable and is limited to the repair or comparable replacement (at the discretion of RideFast Racing) of a defective item; no other remedy is afforded by the offer of this warranty. This warranty does not cover damage sustained through product use. For rider-created damage, please see information below regarding products covered by our Crash Replacement Plan or our Lifetime Guarantee. If you purchased your product directly through RideFast Racing, you are immediately registered for warranty coverage with no additional action required.

Crash Replacement Program 
RideFast Racing knows that you love riding your bike as much as we do and we understand the substantial investment you’ve made in your equipment . So, for those times when the chances you take don’t turn out the way you planned, we are proud to offer a lifetime, no questions asked, crash replacement program on all of our wheelsets, hubs, and handlebars. The program enables the original owner to return the damaged product to RideFast Racing and to obtain a comparable replacement product at a substantially discounted rate. The Crash Replacement Program covers (but is not limited to) damage to RideFast products caused by: Accidents, crashes, yard sales, face-plants, missed corners, poor line choices, trees, rocks, roots, potholes, vehicles, racks, roofs, roof racks, lack of talent, angry cyclists, angry motorists, wild animals and/or any additional malady which is typically explained by a sentence beginning with some form of the expression “I was just riding along (JRA) when...”. Prior to November 15, 2018, the Crash Replacement Program applies to ALL, non-consumable, products manufactured by RideFast Racing. After November 15, 2018, the Program applies to all products not covered under the RideFast Lifetime Guarantee (information below). As of May 21, 2020 crash replacement prices are: $200 (plus applicable taxes and shipping) per occurrence for each wheel (or rim in the case of rims purchased separately and not built by an RF Qualified Builder); 50% discount on published retail prices (plus applicable taxes and shipping) per occurrence for handlebars. For Crash Replacement pricing for other, non-wheel products please contact RideFast at: info@ridefastracing.com or by calling RideFast Customer Service at (949) 342-6604. Prices are subject to change without notice. The Customer will pay the published price at the time a claim is made.
