This bike is supplied with a 6 month warranty covering manufacturing and materials defects. The warranty does not cover mistreatment or poor maintenance. Please ensure all the details on the warranty sheet supplied with the bike are adhered to. Certain circumstances (such as stripped threads or rounded crank arm tapers) only occur due to a lack of correct maintenance and all manufacturers are aware of these situations, so any claims due to incorrect maintenance procedures are much less likely to be successful.
We build this bike to a 100% complete state in our workshop before dispatch to ensure all items are manufactured correctly and nothing is missing, but we do have to remove some parts to ensure there is no damage during transit. You will need some basic tools (usually 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm allen keys and a 15mm spanner) for final assembly upon arrival. We have a video guide here to help, but please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.
Please note that the specification on the bike may occasionally vary slightly from the photos and description. If this happens then the overall effect will be an upgrade and it will not affect the cosmetic appearance of the bike drastically.

Mountain Biker? Get a Hex!
Posted by Andrew
I started riding trials on a 20" competition trials bike and quickly knew that I wanted to make the switch to 26", but I was unsure whether I should get a 26" comp bike or a street trials bike. After much deliberation, I finally decided on a Hex, and it was love at first ride. Already being a pretty solid mountain bike rider, the Hex geometry feels like a natural fit, which translates to a lot of confidence when I'm pushing myself to learn new skills. My riding is now progressing much more quickly than it did on the 20" comp bike, because this bike feels familiar and reliable. I couldn't be more pleased with my Hex, or with the level of support provided by TartyBikes in getting it to my door. Thanks guys!

Hi Andrew
Thanks for the great review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your new bike. That's some solid advice that we often give ourselves. The Hex is more relatable to long term mountain bikers, with a bigger 26" wheels size and longer wheelbase. A great bike for first time trials riders with MTB experience!
