Get in touch at info@glideandgear.co.uk for more details.

    Important Note: To activate the warranty, customers must have the bike inspected by a certified bike mechanic upon delivery and conduct a pre-delivery inspection. This step is essential to ensure all components are in perfect working condition and to maintain the validity of the warranty.
