Ex-demo bikes are dealer test units: bikes that were ridden a handful of times by customers on demo days or short test rides, then sold off when the dealer rotates stock. They’re prepped by the shop’s mechanic before sale, often come with a shop warranty, and typically save 20-40% off the new RRP.
On Cyclesite, the ex-demo surface filters to listings in Excellent condition from business sellers (UK dealers and shops). Use the category filter to narrow by bike type, or browse all to see what’s available across the country.
An ex-demo bike has been used by a dealer for customer test rides, demo days or staff training. Mileage is typically very low: under 100 miles in many cases. The bike is then sold at a discount to the new RRP, having been prepped and serviced by the dealer.
Usually yes. Most dealers transfer the original manufacturer warranty (where the brand permits) or offer a shop warranty of their own. Always check the listing description and confirm warranty terms with the seller before paying.
Typically 20-40% off the new RRP. The biggest savings come on premium models that have been on the floor for a season. Use the valuation tool to check fair market value for the same model in Excellent condition.
Dealers rotate demo stock at the end of each season to bring in next year’s models. Selling the ex-demo fleet recoups capital and clears space on the demo rack. It’s the same reason car dealers sell off ex-courtesy cars at a discount.
