The best-selling second-hand bicycle models last year Hotel Executive

In the second-hand market you can find bicycles of a very varied range. Mountain, road, cyclocross, with carbon frame, with electronic gearbox, with 29 “wheels, with double suspension …

However, not all bicycle models have the same sales success. Trends regarding frames, components or wheel sizes vary over time. Brands and producers bring out new ideas every season with which to renew their bicycle models. And these changes in the market for new bicycles are transferred to the second hand.

In recent years this has been evident mainly in two characteristics: the size of the wheel on mountain bikes and the number of speed of the cassette on the road.

Models of bikes with 10-speed gearbox find it difficult to get out of the used market, unless the price is particularly attractive. This is because most cyclists looking for a used bicycle prefer 11-speed bikes.

Something similar happens in the mountain bike segment. Cyclists who want to buy a mountain bike refuse models with 26 “wheels, except for some specific uses, such as downhill bikes.
