Selling a used bike is a tricky endeavour. It usually starts with sitting there trying to think about what price you should ask for it. Used bikes are a depreciating asset, and the price they garner can depend on a wide variety of factors.

Why do riders love YETI bikes?

YETI knows what they are good at, and they stick with it. They are experts at creating carbon-framed mountain bikes for all types of trail riding. YETI supplies bikes for the YETI / FOX Factory Racing Team, which competes in multiple MTB racing disciplines. Their line starts with the YETI ARC and the ASR, their hardtail and full-suspension cross-country bikes. The series of YETI bikes climbs to the SB165, which features 165mm of travel and the option for 29 or 27.5-inch wheels. It is ideal for downhill riders and the most technical of endurance terrain.


Where YETI really thrives is in the middle ground. Their trail bikes are designed for the everyday rider who wants optimal performance on a huge range of trails. Between their XC racers and downhill bikes, there are four options with different suspension travels, powered by their Switch Infinity technology, and wheel sizes.


The names of these bikes indicate how much travel the suspension has. YETI’s line of bikes allows riders to pick which is right for them so they can go have fun on virtually any trail. Their new e-Bikes emphasize that point with the LTe and MTe, providing long travel and mid travel suspension options with an extra boost.

How do I determine the value of a used YETI bike?

Used bikes are so unique with such specific strengths and flaws that it can be hard to determine the value of yours. A used YETI is still a commodity, even if it is not perfect, but you need to take inventory of the strengths and weaknesses of your specific bike to decide on an asking price. Use every resource available to figure out what price you want to put on your old bike.


YETI has a pretty simple range of bikes, almost all of which are on the higher end of the pricing scale. A YETI with a T and a number after the name will be more expensive. This is because it uses their TURQ carbon fiber as the frame material. A C in place of the T means it features C-Series carbon fiber, which is less expensive. YETI bikes also include the groupset in the model name, making identification easier.


  • Upway’s real-time pricing tool: Using Upway gives you a value for your certified pre-owned bike faster than ever. Our real-time pricing tool analyzes market data and current market trends to determine the demand for your old bike and put a dollar value on it. 

  • Bicycle Blue Book: As the name suggests, Bicycle Blue Book was inspired by the concept of the Kelley Blue Book. It is packed with model years and brands of bikes and helps you place a value on yours. This method can sometimes undervalue bikes, so be sure to get a second opinion. 

  • eBay Sold Listings: With so many bikes for sale, there is a good chance the same model you have has sold on eBay recently. See if there is one in a similar condition that you can compare yours to. One sale is a small sample size, so look elsewhere to see if the sale price makes sense.
