Danish ceramic bearing specialist, CeramicSpeed, has unveiled a long-term warranty program to cover the company’s entire product range of single bearings, bottom brackets, pulley wheels and wheel kits.
Since the company’s beginning back in 2004, product performance and longevity of a product have been at the forefront of the CeramicSpeed manufacturing process. Hand assembled in Denmark, CeramicSpeed produces high performing bottom brackets, pulley wheels, wheel bearing upgrade kits, along with a mass range of single bearings.
In a move, the company regards as ‘the obvious next step’, CeramicSpeed has applied a 4 and 6 year warranty period on its standard and coated line of products.
Ever since CeramicSpeed founder, Jacob Csizmadia introduced the first ceramic bearing to cycling back in 2000, the company has been ‘setting the standard for ceramic bearing performance’. This has always been high priority and an essential part of the Danish company’s philosophy.
“When I introduced the first ceramic bearing into cycling back in 2000, I did so with knowledge that the lifetime properties and frictional performance were superior over any steel bearing. Today, CeramicSpeed continues forward with the same ethos,” said Csizmadia.
CeramicSpeed bearings have become increasingly recognizable among Pro Tour teams, with the brand a trusted ceramic bearing provider for a large number cycling teams, such as Omega Pharma – Quick-Step, Team Tinkoff-Saxo and Astana.
“It is not uncommon for our Pro Tour teams to operate on the same set of bearings for two complete seasons,” highlighted CeramicSpeed Managing Director, Martin Banke. “If we take into consideration how many miles the bikes are going through. How harsh the environments and conditions are throughout the spring classics and grand tours. The obvious next step was for us to introduce a warranty program that reflected this level of performance and trust in a product.”
Introduced with immediate effect, the CeramicSpeed warranty program will see a 4-year warranty applied to all standard line products; single bearings, bottom brackets, pulley wheels and wheel upgrade kits. The company offers a coated version on almost all products within the range. The CeramicSpeed coated line of products is manufactured to further increase longevity with additional friction gains. All coated products will carry a 6-year warranty.
The warranty program offers riders the opportunity to register the product just after purchase. Together with the registration, the consumer will have the opportunity to up-load the receipt, which is mandatory should a claim occur.
CeramicSpeed was founded in 2004 with all products handmade at the company’s HQ in Denmark. The company specializes in ceramic bearings for the cycling industry, distributed in more than 20 countries. Pro Tour teams such as Team Tinkoff-Saxo, Omega Pharma – Quick-Step and Astana Pro Team are riding CeramicSpeed products.
Within MTB, the company is a sponsor of BETCH.nl Superior Brentjens MTB Racing Team. Additionally, CeramicSpeed products are ridden by some of the world’s leading triathletes, including: Frederik Van Lierde, Craig Alexander, Leanda Cave, Gwen Jorgensen, Rachel Joyce, Meredith Kessler, Tyler Butterfield, Tim Don as well as Greg and Laura Bennett among others.
