So yes if the bike is within a certain age range and you can get official proof of the original purchase date.I am a subsequent owner; do I still need proof of original retail purchase?
Yes. The warranty period is always calculated from the date of original retail purchase and Specialized needs to be able to determine when and where the Product was purchased originally. Proof of purchase should be obtained from the original owner or the Authorised Specialized Retailer who sold the Product.
The question was asked on the Specialized forum, so it's probably safe to assume that other manufacturers' policies aren't of much interest.Specialized are the only ones who allow the warranty to be transferred.
