Where does Giant stand in the cycling world?
Started in Taiwan, Giant turned itself into the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world. If you walk past a packed bike rack, chances are, you will see multiple Giant bikes. They achieved this status through their huge range of bikes. There is something for everyone, from the tour-level Giant Propel Advanced SL aero road bike to the Talon children’s mountain bike. When coming up with a value, it is important to first identify where in this huge range your bike lies.
Giant bikes can be seen on the road, propelling UCI teams, and on the trail with their mountain bikes powering World Cup rides. They also make city and fitness bikes. Their e-Bike selection covers all of these categories, too. Giant is known for their reliability and staying power across all phases of cycling. This helps them hold value compared to many other brands on the second-hand market. Some research can help you figure out what yours will go for.
How do I put a value on my used Giant bike?
We all know we are not getting the retail price back for our used bicycle. Brands like Giant, which are well-trusted, will give you a higher percentage of their original MSRP than most, but are still a depreciating asset. Even when you aren’t getting retail value, you can still take steps to maximize your sale.
Because they have such a variety of bikes, Giant bicycles have a variety of values. Of course, carbon fiber frames will carry more value than aluminum ones. An “SL” suffix at the end of the model name means the bike is pretty fancy and will carry a premium. Pro is the next step down, and Advanced will be the more affordable option. When it comes to groupsets, the lower the number in the model name, the more valuable the groupset is.
Use these methods to estimate the value of yours:
- Upway’s real-time pricing tool: Upway can put a fast and fair value on your bike through our pricing tool. This tool takes in the information you send us about your bike and analyzes market trends and market data to place a value on it.
- Bicycle Blue Book: Bicycle Blue Book is a value guide packed with values of certified pre-owned bikes, including Giant bikes. Similar to the Kelley Blue Book, Bicycle Blue Book can give you an idea of used bike values, but it needs a second opinion, as it often significantly undervalues bicycles.
- eBay Sold Listings: The most accurate price you can get is a recent real-world sale. Check for the same bike model in eBay sold listings and see if any have sold lately. Keep an eye out for weird outliers and prices that don’t make sense.
