BOA dials and cables are designed for the lifetime of the boot under normal use. Most riders never need replacement. Cable failure occasionally occurs from impact damage (landing on the dial) or extreme wear on the cable guide channels. Dial failure is even rarer. BOA covers all dial and cable issues under their lifetime warranty, providing free replacements. Typical boot lifespan (2–4 seasons of regular riding) sees no BOA issues for the vast majority of users.
