Returns & Warranty Policy

Everything you need to know about sending something back, and how we stand behind our titanium components over the long run.

Returns Return shipping Damages & issues Non-returnable items Exchanges EU cooling-off Refunds 25-year warranty Crash replacement

01 Returns

Return eligibility

You have 14 days after receiving your order to request a return. To qualify, the item must be unused, unworn, and in the same new condition you received it, with all original tags attached, and returned complete in its original packaging. A receipt or other proof of purchase is required.

If the original packaging is missing, damaged, or incomplete, we'll still review the return — we assess these individually and may apply a restocking fee or reduce the refund to reflect the condition of the item and packaging.

How to initiate a return

Contact us at hello@gloriacycling.com before sending anything back. We'll confirm your return and provide the return address. Packages sent without prior authorization will not be accepted.

02 Return shipping costs

You're responsible for the cost of shipping the item back to us, unless it arrived faulty, damaged, or incorrect. We recommend a tracked, insured shipping method — we're not responsible for items lost or damaged on the way back to us.

03 Damages & issues

Please inspect your order when it arrives. If an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered, contact us right away so we can look into it.

04 Non-returnable items

We can't accept returns on:

  • Perishable goods
  • Custom or personalized items
  • Personal care products
  • Hazardous materials, flammable liquids or gases
  • Sale items
  • Gift cards

05 Exchanges

The fastest way to get what you want is to return the item you have and, once the return is approved, place a new order for the item you need.

06 EU cooling-off period

If you're in the European Union, you can cancel or return your order within 14 days for any reason, without needing to give a justification. The condition requirements under Return Eligibility still apply.

07 Refund processing

Once we receive and inspect your return, we'll let you know whether the refund is approved. Approved refunds go to your original payment method within 10 business days — your bank may take longer to post it. If you haven't received your refund 15 business days after approval, contact us.

08 25-year warranty on titanium components

Warranty terms

Coverage runs for 25 years from the original purchase date. It applies only to titanium components from Gloria Cycling, and only to the original purchaser — it cannot be transferred. Valid proof of purchase from Gloria Cycling or an authorized dealer is required.

What the warranty does not cover

Normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, accidents, poor maintenance, improper installation, or modifications. Non-titanium components are not covered under this section.

Sandblasted frame finish

Our sandblasted frame finish is a delicate, hand-applied texture. It marks easily, and a dropped tool, a knock, or rough handling can leave a permanent mark. Cosmetic damage of this kind is not covered under warranty.

If a frame is returned in its original packaging, we look at the condition of that packaging as part of our assessment — it helps us judge whether the damage happened before the frame reached you or after. We review these cases individually.

Warranty claims

Depending on the issue, we'll repair the component, replace it with an equivalent model, or refund the purchase price if neither repair nor replacement is possible.

Component brand warranties

Many of the components fitted to our bikes, including parts from SRAM, Shimano, and RockShox, carry their own manufacturer warranty. Claims on these parts are handled under that manufacturer's own warranty terms and process, not this policy — we're glad to help point you to the right place.

For a warranty claim on any other branded component or accessory (one not covered by the Gloria titanium warranty above, and not a SRAM, Shimano, or RockShox part), you're responsible for the cost of shipping the item to us for evaluation. We'll confirm next steps once we receive it.

09 Crash replacement on titanium components

Replacement terms

This helps you get back on your bike after a crash damages a titanium component. It applies only to the original purchaser and cannot be transferred. Valid proof of purchase is required.

If eligible, you receive 50% off the price of the item being replaced. This applies within the original 10-year warranty period.

What crash replacement does not cover

Damage from misuse, poor maintenance, improper installation, modifications, or non-titanium components.

How to make a claim

Contact our customer service team, describe the crash and the damage, and send proof of purchase.

General provisions

All claims go through official Gloria Cycling channels. Customers may be responsible for shipping and handling fees. We may update this policy at any time without advance notice.
