There’s more. For equipment and apparel that is designed to last, we’ve created schemes that fit accordingly. This includes our lifetime warranty on metal bike frames, the 10-year warranty on table tennis tables and hiking backpacks, and a 5-year warranty on carbon bike frames, fitness machines, and inflatable tents.

5-YEAR WARRANTY ON ALL OUR FITNESS MACHINES, INFLATABLE TENTS, AND CARBON BIKES

With a 5 year warranty across fitness machines, carbon bike frames, and inflatable tents, you can feel confident in getting the very best from our innovative technology.

FITNESS MACHINES

When transforming your space into a home gym, we know the importance of owning equipment you can trust. That’s why with 5 years on metal parts and 2 years on parts and labor for both our maintenance and repairs and warranty schemes*, you’ll find the support you need, should you need it.

*Also includes spare parts available for 10 years.

INFLATABLE TENTS

As designers and users who love nature, we care about the durability of our products. The 5-year warranty means all our tents are designed to be repaired, with all spare parts and repairs of inflatable poles are available both at our workshops and online with a 2-year warranty.

CARBON BIKE FRAME

If you’re looking to go carbon with your bike choices, we also have a 5-year warranty for the frame and fork and 2 years for the parts.

TABLE TENNIS TABLES

If you’ve bought an outdoor table tennis table from Decathlon, we want to make it as simple as possible for you to make the very most of it. Our 10-year warranty covers defects on the table, except for those resulting from normal wear and abnormal use conditions. Upon presentation of a sales receipt, we will exchange the defective parts or table tennis table.

LIFETIME WARRANTY ON ALL METAL BIKE FRAMES

We believe that a relationship between a rider and their Decathlon bike should be a long-lasting one. That’s why with our lifetime warranty, we make it simple for you to replace all metal frames and forks, handlebars, and stems.

The term of this Limited Lifetime Warranty runs from the date of registration for the lifetime of the product. Any claim under this Limited Lifetime Warranty may only be made in the country where the DECATHLON bike was purchased. Only the original registered owner of the bike may benefit from this Limited Lifetime Warranty. This Limited Lifetime Warranty shall not extend to any Decathlon bike that is purchased second hand or that is purchased from anyone other than DECATHLON.

Important Information

Any damage or failure caused by misuse or professional use (delivery service or rental for example) of the DECATHLON frame which would not constitute normal use is excluded from this Limited Lifetime Warranty. For the avoidance of doubt normal use is using the Decathlon frame or bike in a manner which DECATHLON considers inappropriate. This Limited Lifetime Warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, professional or rental use, poor maintenance, improper assembly, labor charges, installation of parts or accessories not recommended or intended to be combined with the DECATHLON frame or relevant DECATHLON bike parts, bending or denting of the DECATHLON frame or relevant DECATHLON bike parts, damage caused by a collision. DECATHLON shall not have any liability under this warranty for any incidental or consequential damages. This Limited Lifetime Warranty is assured by DECATHLON only, no person including any DECATHLON authorized seller is permitted to make a representation or warranty on behalf of DECATHLON, and DECATHLON excludes any liability for any such representation or warranty.
