How road bikes depreciate
Measured by comparing the same model at different ages: the median asking price at each age as a share of that model's current-year used price. Not a share of the original RRP.

|---|---|---|
| 1 year old | 85% | £850 |
| 2 years old | 74% | £740 |
| 3 years old | 63% | £630 |
| 4 years old | 59% | £590 |
| 5 years old | 59% | £590 |

What moves a used road bike's value
Groupset tier
Groupset is one of the biggest value levers on a road bike. Buyers pay up the Shimano ladder (105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace) and the SRAM one (Rival, Force, Red), and electronic shifting (Di2, AXS) holds value better than mechanical. A bike fitted above its standard spec is worth flagging, because the calculator prices the original build.
Frame and condition
Carbon dominates road bikes from the mid-range up and holds value well when it is undamaged, but used carbon needs a crash-damage check, so a clean, well-documented frame earns the top of the range. A good alloy bike is easier to assess for damage, and priced accordingly.
Brakes and standards
Almost all new road bikes are now disc-only, so rim-brake bikes appeal to a narrower pool of buyers and sit lower than their original price suggests. Thru-axles, disc brakes and clearance for wider tyres all read as current and support resale.
