Kickstand tore a hole in the frame, Mondraker did not stand by the published warranty
I purchased my Mondraker PrimeX in March 2021 for touring. I'd ridden over 5,500 km when, while parked, the kickstand failed. The bike fell over, and the kickstand tore a hole in the frame. Mondraker's website said that a bike is guaranteed for life if registered, which mine wasn't. Unregistered bikes belonging to the original owner have a warranty of 3 years or 5 years.
Mondraker offered my frame with cosmetic damage and said it was the best they could do. The dealer offered to remount the "new" frame for a fee. I agreed.
The battery cover is a different color than the bike and looks badly mismatched. I was told, "Too bad. You should be grateful that we did this much for you."
I picked up the bike and asked about the kickstand. I was told that I hadn't asked for a new kickstand -- what the (*&(*&** it was the kickstand that tore a hole in the frame in the first place. It will be another two weeks before they can get a kickstand for the bike, and I'll have to drive another 90 minutes each way to have them put it on.
I used to have this cool bike that I was proud of and loved to ride. Now, I have a frame with garish paint and cosmetic damage, a mismatched battery cover, and no kickstand.
Mondraker, you've lost a customer for life.
