DT Swiss Guarantee 
& Legal warranty

We believe in the art of engineering and strive for perfection when developing new products. Our definition of high performance is the combination of innovative and highly reliable products. 

No product is indestructible and sometimes crashes, riding errors or punctures can damage a product to such an extent that their function is seriously impaired or safe use is no longer possible. All DT Swiss products are covered by a legal warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase.

In addition to the legal warranty, we offer an extended guarantee for DT Swiss carbon wheels under our Fair-Share Policy.
