Weekly UK price index showing when demand for your bike peaks.
Figures are typical advertised prices for used examples on the UK market and vary by year and condition. Cyclesite does not buy bikes directly, so each value carries no purchase offer or obligation to sell.
Every valuation blends real UK market prices, live listings and manufacturer data, so today's number reflects today's market.
01
Real UK market prices, what bikes actually list and sell for, drive the core estimate.
02
Current asking prices keep the estimate in step with the live market, not last year's comps.
03
Manufacturer pricing crossed with our measured depreciation curve, not a hardcoded RRP table, anchors newer models.
That depreciation curve isn't guesswork or a hardcoded RRP-times-age table. It's measured from 16,929 real UK listings across 323+ models, so the drop we apply is the one the market actually shows.

These aren't baked into the headline figure, but they can swing the real-world price of any used bike up or down.
Sellers who go in with these to hand finish their listing in under ten minutes. None of them are deal-breakers, but each one helps.
Proves provenance and rules out the bike being stolen. Buyers pay more for documented purchase history.
Used for our automatic stolen-bike check before the listing goes live. Usually stamped under the bottom bracket.
Stamps from a bike shop or your own dated maintenance log. A serviced bike sells faster and at a higher price.
Component manuals, the original spec sheet or carry-over warranty paperwork. Not essential, but useful when you have it.
Battery keys, lock keys and any associated app credentials. Missing keys are a common reason buyers walk away.
Drive side, non-drive side, cockpit, drivetrain, any wear, plus the frame number close-up. Natural light, plain background.
Every bike is auto-checked against UK stolen-bike databases before it goes live.
Every valuation on Cyclesite is based on real UK market prices: what bikes actually list and sell for.
The calculator values e-bikes like any other bike: enter the brand, model, year and condition and you'll get a low / mid / high range from UK e-bike market data. These three factors decide where your e-bike sits within that range.
The single biggest factor in any e-bike's used value. A depleted battery can reduce value by 30-50%, because the next owner is buying a replacement. Charge-cycle count, age and a recent service report all support a price at the top of the range.
Current-generation motors from Bosch, Shimano, Specialized and Yamaha hold value well because parts and service are easy to find in the UK. Discontinued systems, or brands without UK service support, sit towards the lower end of the range.
E-bikes depreciate faster than non-assisted bikes because battery and motor technology keeps improving. A realistic price moves an e-bike quickly; an optimistic one ages badly as newer systems reach the used market.
The calculator values mountain bikes like any other bike: enter the brand, model, year and condition for a low / mid / high range from UK market data. Three things decide where a used mountain bike sits within that range.
Suspension is the first thing a buyer checks. On a full-suspension bike the rear shock and pivot bearings need periodic servicing, and a neglected shock is an expensive fix, so a recent service record supports a price at the top of the range. Hardtails are simpler and cheaper to keep, which makes their value easier to hold.
Wheel and axle standards move on, and older bikes track the market down with them. 29-inch wheels and boost spacing are the current defaults on trail and cross-country bikes, so an older 26-inch bike, or a dated axle standard, sits lower because parts and upgrades are harder to find.
Carbon frames command more than alloy when they are clean and undamaged, but used carbon carries a crash-damage risk that buyers price in. A frame with a clear history, no cracks around the head tube and welds, and honest photos earns the upper end; an unknown history widens the range downward.
The calculator values road bikes on the same inputs: brand, model, year and condition, priced against real UK market data. These are the factors that move a used road bike within its range.
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.
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.
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.
