What is the Bicycle Blue Book Value Guide based on?

The Value Guide is built on a high-performance predictive analytics platform using automated machine learning to analyze millions of transactions.

What types of values does the Value Guide report?

The system reports three values:

1. MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price)
2. Private Party value
3. Trade-in value

What is MSRP and how does it differ from the purchase price?

MSRP is the original manufacturer's retail price of the bike. It may differ from the actual purchase price due to retail and manufacturer discounting.

How is the Private Party value determined?

Private Party value is based on the bike's condition and is updated frequently based on current industry trends, discounting, new technology changes, and new model introductions.

What does the Trade-in value represent?

Trade-in value is the estimated in-store credit you can expect when working with an authorized Bicycle Blue Book trade-in partner. The final value is determined after in-store validation by a retail professional.

What if my bike isn't listed in the Value Guide?

For unlisted bikes, you can:

1. Get a Custom Quote from an authorized trade-in partner
2. Check back later, as new bikes are constantly being added to the database

What factors influence the reported values for each bike?

The values are based on three major inputs:

1. Transaction reporting
