Are the Nukeproof DH rigs overpriced & over-heavy?

In fact, here is the thread.
I believe all the current demos have lifetime warranty as well. 0 -
Demo isn't for everyone though. I tried a 2011 Demo and didn't like it. Back end just felt a bit dead & it felt heavy to ride.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

5 years for material and manufacturing flaws, according to Specialized...Uncompromising extremist0

For the Price of the Spesh I can pimp the Rose out with a full Shimano Saint groupset, Fox RC4 shock and Mavic Deemax Ultimates

Fair enough, I'd still rather have a demo though... If money is a concern, would you rather buy a rose and have to buy a new frame if/when yours crack a year or two after warranty, or be safe in the knowledge that you won't have to shell out for a new frame for five whole years? Your call.0

Again, according to their website the specialized warranty is only for material and manufacturing defects, it doesn't cover you for a wear-and-tear failure. Specialized are pretty good about exceeding their warranty to be fair but it's not something to count on.
<edit- actually the Specialized website contradicts itself- says lifetime in some places, 5 years in others. http://cdn.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/pdf ... ww.com.pdf>
The wording on Rose's website is flaky- translated I think- but it suggests they do a 10 year material-and-manufacturing-defect warranty on all their frames! Canyon do 6.Uncompromising extremist0 -
Exactly - check that fine detail. Warranties are an addition to your rights. You aren't entitled to a warranty at all.afe in the knowledge that you won't have to shell out for a new frame for five whole years?
What's that then?0 -
Again - some good advice
Tbh - I hadn't even really thought about warranties! I'll check out all the small print and see who gives the best deal as far as that side of things is concerned.
Thanks for the input guys!"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes
