have you contacted your echo dealer about this?

i dont know their warranty policy anymore. if it's within that period though, then creating an account here and having your one post be pics of your broken frame... not going to get you much sympathy.

mine broke in the exact same place a little under two years ago, and it did get warrantied (thanks hugo @ hbtrials). were you riding a booster? i had one on for almost the whole time, except for a few weeks right at the start when the old booster didn't fit

Like i said, I wasn't too shocked mine snapped. Its a pencil built frame.

Its nice, but I went from a simtra to this and it was pretty evident right off the bat this thing was a flimsy unit.

I wasn't riding a booster, but anyways.. The frame should be holding the brakeforce!
My echo dealer told me the warranties only last for 6 months, and mine is just a month past that.

I guess my next bike will be a Hydroxx now. Seems a little stronger, and it seems more fun to ride!

btw direct link to pictures if they doesn't show in the first post:

hi guys, everything will crack one day.
nice for an cheappy frame, i´ve rode 1 year in one and nothing hapenned. i ride a little smooth...an booster could prevent that. contact your dealer.

Thats an old model though. I think my 04 pure would beat the piss out of this 07-08 thing.

i had an 06 pure that cracked in the exact same place so i bought the 07 version 6 months down the line it did the same thing again in the same place, could not get any warranty replacement or anything
