Quick Answer: handlebars bent while riding, or from crashes and other accidents, are not normally considered warranties, but may be considered valid for a “crash replacement program” special offer. If you have bent your Spank handlebar, and have a proof of purchase from within a 2 year period, please contact your nearest Spank Distributor, and provide photos, the serial number from your bar, and your proof of purchase. Spank handlebars meet and exceed all industry standards for safety, fatigue life and strength, as well as Spank Industries’ own far more severe internal standards. FEA (finite element analysis) simulations are used during development to ensure there is ample material in high stress areas and stress risers are minimized, and rigorous laboratory and field testing with our pro riders takes place before any new bar reaches the market.At Spank we design our handlebars to withstand the normal rigors of their intended discipline, (Oozy for Trail to All Mountain use, Spike for Enduro, DH and Freeride use, etc.), but we understand that sometimes accidents happen. Spank handlebars are very carefully designed to bend under overload forces, rather than break. This is a safety feature to protect you, the rider. When a bar bends, normally you walk away. When a bar breaks, it can be very dangerous. To report a bent or damaged bar, contact your local Spank distributor, and supply photos of the handlebar, a proof of purchase showing you are the original owner and purchased your bar within the past 2 years, and the serial number from the handlebar. Alternatively you can send this information to info@spank-ind.com, and we will put you in touch with the nearest distributor.
