Inspection Reports & Insurance Quotes

Experiencing a crash can be stressful and unsettling, and we understand how important it is to know whether your bike is still safe to ride. Our Crash Inspection service is designed to give you clarity and reassurance during that moment of uncertainty.

Our inspection service is structured into different levels to suit various bike types and the severity of the crash. Minor incidents may only require a basic assessment, while more serious impacts demand a deeper, more time‑intensive evaluation. In cases where significant force has been involved, additional components must be examined, and at higher inspection levels, a full strip down of the bike may be necessary to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Inspection Process

We carry out a careful assessment of the frame, fork, wheels, and all structural components, checking for both visible damage and subtle stress points that may not be immediately obvious.

Report & Recommendations

After the inspection, we compile a clear and detailed report outlining every issue found. This includes structural concerns, alignment problems, component damage, and any safety‑critical findings. We also provide expert recommendations on the repairs or replacements needed to bring the bike back to a safe and reliable standard.

Riders Frequently Ask
What should a professional crash inspection include for a carbon frame?

Carbon fibre crash inspection is a specialised service that goes far beyond visual examination. While carbon frames are incredibly strong and durable, they can sustain hidden damage that's not visible to the naked eye. A thorough professional inspection is essential after any significant crash to ensure the frame remains safe to ride and to document damage for insurance purposes.
What are some common and less common types of damage to a carbon frame?

Types of Carbon Damage

Visible Damage:

  • Cracks (can be hairline or obvious)
  • Paint chips or scratches that may hide deeper damage
  • Delamination (separation of carbon layers)
  • Impact marks or crushed areas

Hidden Damage:

  • Internal delamination not visible from surface
  • Structural damage to internal carbon structure
  • Damaged fibre alignment inside frame
  • Weakened areas that may fail under future stress

Stress Damage:

  • Areas stressed beyond elastic limit
  • Micro-fractures not immediately visible
  • Damage that may develop into cracks over time
  • Weakened structural integrity
