Counterfeit

Ozaveščenost o ponaredkih

V podjetju Specialized je naša ljubezen do kolesarjenja globoka in se kaže v vsem, kar počnemo. Smo kot vi – strastni kolesarji, ki si vedno prizadevamo izboljšati izkušnjo zase in za našo skupnost.

Varnost je za nas velika stvar, ne le zato, ker vozimo lastna kolesa, ampak zato, ker vse naše stranke smatramo za del naše kolesarske družine.

Tako lahko stavite, da ponarejene izdelke jemljemo osebno. Zato smo predani temu, da ustavimo ponarejevalce. Ta vodnik vam jih pomaga prepoznati in se jim izogniti.

What if I've Bought a Counterfeit Product?

If you even have the slightest suspicion that you've bought a counterfeit product or come across something fishy online, let us know at brandsecurity@specialized.com. Why? Because your safety matters to us, and counterfeit products are a huge risk.

The best way to avoid the counterfeits altogether is to shop at an authorized Specialized Retailer or directly on Specialized.com. That way, you can be sure you're getting safe, authentic Specialized products.

Find a Retailer

Kako prepoznam ponaredek?

Kdo je prodajalec?

Ali je prodajalec pooblaščen trgovec Specialized? Avtentično Specialized opremo prodajamo mi, pooblaščene partnerske trgovine s kolesi, njihova spletna mesta in pooblaščeni prodajalci na izbranih platformah za e-trgovino.

Preverjanje cene

Če je cena kolesa ali opreme smešno nizka, je verjetno ponaredek, ukraden izdelek ali del prevare.

Izbira izdelkov

Vidite na tono starejših modelov, dizajnov in barv? To je rdeča zastava.

Serijske številke

Če vam prodajalec ne more zagotoviti/sporočiti serijske številke, bodite pozorni. To je eden glavnih znakov za ponarejeno ali morda ukradeno kolo.

Združevanje ponaredkov

Ponarejeno blago se pogosto prodaja v paketih večih izdelkov. Zato bodite previdni, če opazite istega vprašljivega posameznika ali e-trgovino, ki prodaja druge pogosto ponarejene blagovne znamke.

Kontrola kakovosti

Ponarejeni izdelki imajo pogosto slabo izdelane podrobnosti. Morda bodo izdelali pravo obliko, vendar poglejte bližje - barva, majhna kovinska in plastična oprema, oznake ali nalepke so pogosto slabo izdelane ali drugačne.

Kontrola kakovosti

Odkrivanje prevar

Prevare se zadnje čase pojavljajo povsod. Vprašajte se torej: Ali se zdijo cene predobre, da bi bile resnične? Ali je na spletni strani navedena zakonita lokacija podjetja? Ali del strani "o nas" zveni kot prava trgovina? Ali lahko v nakupovalno košarico naložite neomejeno količino koles?

Ali je varno uporabljati ponarejene izdelke?

Ponarejeni izdelki pogosto ne izpolnjujejo standardov kakovosti in varnosti, ki veljajo za našo originalno opremo Specialized.

Vzemimo primer čelade. Ponarejena čelada je morda videti primerna, vendar vam ne bo nudila zaščite, ki jo potrebujete, ko je najpomembneje. LPonarejene čelade nimajo naše notranje varnostne kletke in ne prenesejo udarcev.

Močno odsvetujemo uporabo ponarejenih izdelkov - vaša varnost preprosto ni vredna tveganja.

Identifying Counterfeit Products

This is where things get tricky. Counterfeiters are getting better at their game, but there are still some signs you can look out for. Examples of counterfeit products, and ways to identify them, are shown below (marked by a red X).

If you’ve purchased a product resembling any counterfeit examples, please contact Specialized Brand Security for authentication.

Carbon Frames

Counterfeit bikes are out there, but our global team is reporting that only a few models are commonly faked. Here's what we usually see:

Tarmac, Venge, Aethos
Stumpjumper FSR, Stumpjumper EVO, Stumpjumper HT
Epic, Epic HT, Epic EVO

On carbon fiber counterfeit frames, look closely at the metal pieces on a frame, and compare it to a real bike often details like the derailleur hangers, headset, and seatpost head are often obviously and completely wrong on a fake bike.

Aluminum Bikes

Sometimes, counterfeiters slap on replacement stickers to make cheap aluminum frames look like authentic Specialized bikes.

Nova aplikacija Specialized

Nakup novega kolesa je lahko stresen, če ne veste zagotovo, da gre za pristen izdelek podjetja Specialized. Dobra novica je, da vam preverjanje serijskih številk v novi aplikaciji Specialized (na voljo v App Store in Google Play Store) omogoča preverjanje pristnosti vašega kolesa.

Ko uporabljate aplikacijo, upoštevajte naslednje:

Če vam ročno vnesena serijska številka ne prikaže slike in številke izdelka v rezultatih iskanja, se takoj obrnite na brandsecurity@specialized.com.
Ko gre za pravo kolo, bo pravilno prikazana fotografija modela, leto proizvodnje in barva.
Ne registrirajte serijske številke, ki ne prikazuje pravilne fotografije in opisa v aplikaciji.
Serijska številka WSBC604292544K je vedno lažna.
Veliko število nedavnih serijskih številk ponaredkov modela kolesa Taramc SL7 je videti kot te, prikazane na spodnjih fotografijah. Če ste v dvomih, nas kontaktirajte na brandsecurity@specialized.com in nam pošljite fotografije svojega kolesa, zlasti bližnje posnetke opreme, glave sedežne opore in nosilca menjalnika .

Primeri ponarejenih serijskih številk

Fake

Čelade

V vsaki podrobnosti pristne čelade Specialized boste našli kakovostno izdelavo in varnostne funkcije. Ponarejene čelade so morda videti podobne, vendar nimajo bistvenih varnostnih elementov. Preverite oznake in Y-delilnike na traku čelade. Logotipi Specialized so v primerjavi s pravimi pogosto videti drugačni/napačni, Y-delilnik je ploščat in gladek, namesto rebrast, notranje nalepke pa so napačne.

Labels

Counterfeit Prevail helmets often show pin steam vents and are usually labeled with SM/MD sizing rather than horizontal steam vents and MD sizing. SM/MD or Asia Medium sizing does not indicate a fake, in and of itself, but they are incredibly rare outside of Asian or Brazilian markets.

Helmet Straps

Counterfeit Prevail and S-Works Evade helmets may have faulty strap construction, incorrect logo orientation or font, and poor-quality stitching.

Krmila

Textures

Fake Aerofly II, Roval Rapide, and Roval Rapide Cockpit handlebars are easy to spot - the dots on the top of the bars are often completely wrong.

Graphics

Counterfeit Aerofly and Venge VIAS handlebars are very flexible. The carbon fibers can be heard crackling during a strong, bare-handed flex test. Sometimes, you can even snap them with your bare hands. Aerofly bars and mountain bike handlebars with large red or silver graphics are certainly counterfeit. Specialized has never made bars with these graphics.

Cable Routing

Counterfeit Aerofly bars often have poorly made derailleur cable entry holes. Authentic bars have a visible cable support shelf.

Dresi

Authentic Specialized jerseys do not have other brand logos on the garment unless it is an official pro team jersey, which is very limited. Use commonsense with apparel. Authentic Specialized jerseys and shorts are not sold as a set for suspiciously cheap prices.

Counterfeit Jersey sellers often display large quantities of older Specialized jersey models, which is not consistent with the selection found on the official Specialized website.

Kratke hlače, rokavice, sedeži in pripete označevalne obešanke

Kar zadeva kratke hlače, rokavice, sedeže in pripete označevalne obešanke, ponarejeni izdelki običajno niso kakovostni. Pozorno preglejte konstrukcijo, materiale, logotipe in ceno – to so lahko jasni znaki ponarejenega izdelka.

Shorts

One way to spot fake shorts is by checking the padding. These knock-offs are typically poorly made and do not properly position the padding to provide riders with maximum comfort. Some may even have the "COOLMAX™" branding on the chamois, even though they don't use that material.

Gloves

Differentiating between counterfeit gloves and genuine ones can be done through their pricing. Authentic Specialized gloves usually have a minimum retail price of $25 and above. Logos are another indicator, as phony gloves usually display multiple logos that are either too large or incorrect.

Saddles

A bare carbon saddle is a counterfeit product. Authentic Specialized saddles will always have material over the frame.

Hangtags

Jerseys and shorts are the most common counterfeit Specialized products and are made in many different countries. One of the easiest ways to identify a counterfeit product is by the tag. Counterfeit products will have poorly-printed hangtags with off-brand colors and fonts.
