Crash Replacement
Our sport pushes the limits of riding performance, and we understand that it comes with the risk for crashes. We want you to push yourself to have a good time, and not worry about costly spills. No matter if its a big or small crash, or how you ride, any results from an accident that impacts the performance of the wheel rim, you will be covered.
TAIRIN WHEELS crash replacement covers rims for 5 YEARS from the original purchase date (proof of purchase is required) and is applicable to the original consumer. This coverage is allowable up to twice for alloy rims. Labour for transferring a new rim requires a wheel rebuild, this cost is not inclusive in the program (build rate is CAD85/wheel for the Yield Point Wheel Build)
