Ride It. Race It. Don’t Worry About it: We’ve Got You Covered. 

We’re so confident in Giant’s composite technology, if any composite frame or component is structurally damaged while you’re riding in the first two years after you bought it, we’ll repair it or replace it free of charge. 

Crash your new frame in the final turn of the local crit? Don’t worry about it! You’re covered. Case a landing and crack your rim? Whoa, way to charge. You’re covered. Handlebars? Same deal. Seatposts? Yep. 

We’re backing our products in a way no other company is willing to. We’re confident in what Giant makes. We want you to be too. It’s that simple. 

Now, this only goes for product you bought in the U.S. at an authorized Giant dealer, and it only covers damage done while riding, so don’t go driving into your garage with your bike on top of your car. That’s on you. 

There are other details you need to know about our Composite Confidence program, but our goal is to make it as simple possible, so you can get pedaling again.  

Q: What is composite confidence? 

A: Most warranties just cover manufacturer defects and are void when riding in extreme or race conditions. Composite Confidence is Giant USA’s service to the rider that for 2 years after the purchase of 2019 Composite Bike or Gear we will replace or repair the item when damaged in riding conditions. 

Q: What does composite confidence cover? 

A: Giant and Liv Model year 2019 and forward bicycles. Composite Giant and Liv Gear purchased in calendar year 2019. Composite Confidence is only available in the USA and is only available to the original owner of new Giant and Liv products. It is non transferrable. 

Q: How do I submit a request for Composite Confidence (CC) coverage? 

A: Just head into your authorized Giant/Liv retailer with proof of purchase (receipt) and they will start a claim. 

Q: What are the replacement options? 

A: It’s all dependent on product stock. If the exact same item is available, we will send that. Otherwise, we will send the closest matching item (service frameset that’s a different color, for example). Upgrade (for a fee), credit, and backorder options also may be available. In some cases we may repair the item. 

Q: What happens if an item is not in stock? 

A: Giant will offer options of backordering the item, replacing with a similar item, or a credit for the item value. Or we will repair the item. 

Q: What is the turnaround time? 

A: Similar to warranty claims, CC claims will be addressed within 2-4 business days. In stock replacement items will be shipped immediately. Repair turnaround time is 48-72 hours plus shipping time. 

Q: What are the associated costs of replacement? 

A: Giant will provide the product free of charge. Shipping will be charged to the dealer. Shipping and labor charges will not be covered by Giant and may be charged to the consumer at the dealer’s discretion. 

Q: How do you determine if the damage happened “while riding”? 

A: The retailer and Giant’s QA team will use their judgement along with input from the retailer to determine the cause of the damage. 

Q: What happens if a claim is denied and does not fall within this policy? 

A: Giant and the local retailer will sort out a suitable crash replacement option. Typically 20% off retail.
