How much is a used Conor worth? From the entry-level bike to the WRC and the Selva: prices and what to check

Conor is a Spanish brand that almost everyone who bought their first bike in a sports shop or a department store knows. But not every Conor is an entry-level bike: its WRC line has race mountain bikes, gravel bikes like the Selva and e-bikes like the Bora or the E-Volcano. So with a second-hand Conor, the same brand name can hide a bike worth a few hundred euros or one well above the median. Here's how to tell them apart and what to check.
The prices asked on bicis.net
There aren't enough Conor listings for a median of the brand alone, so we use its category's. These are the prices sellers ask on bicis.net, from the active «Vendo» (for sale) listings on 30 October 2026 (n = 218):
| Category | Listings | Median (€) | Cheapest quarter up to (€) | Most expensive quarter from (€) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain | 98 | 813 | 450 | 1,380 |
| Road | 41 | 1,100 | 680 | 2,800 |
| E-bikes | 48 | 2,080 | 1,500 | 2,962 |
An entry-level Conor mountain bike usually sits below the €450 of the cheapest quarter, and that's fine: it's a simple bike. A WRC with a good build can ask for the most expensive quarter if it's well looked after. You'll find the method behind these figures in Ciclismo en cifras.
Two very different Conors: entry-level and WRC
The entry-level range
These are the Conors you see most: hardtail mountain bikes, city bikes and leisure bikes with simple components. For getting started or getting around town they work well, and second-hand they're cheap. What you should check:
- Fork: many have basic coil forks. Make sure it has no play and makes no noise. If it's bad, replacing it can cost almost as much as the bike is worth.
- Brakes: if they're rim brakes, the pads should have material left and the rim shouldn't be scored; if they're mechanical discs, they should brake without squeezing all the way.
- Rust: chain, cables and bolts. A bike that has slept on the balcony shows it straight away.
Here the rule is simple: pay little and bear in mind what you'll spend getting it ready.
The WRC line
It's the brand's top range, with XC and enduro mountain bikes, gravel bikes and e-bikes. Bikes on another level, and they're checked as such: the frame, especially if it's carbon; the suspension service; wear on the drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes. Check that the WRC name is on the frame and that the version matches the receipt: it's how you know you're not being sold an entry-level bike at a high-end price.
Conor gravel bikes and e-bikes
The Selva is the WRC line's gravel bike, with more race-oriented versions. On a used one, check the tyre clearance, the fork and that the wheels spin true; there's the full checklist in the guide to the used gravel bike.
In e-bikes, Conor has the Bora, a mountain bike, and the E-Volcano, a road bike with a rear hub motor. On both, the battery and the motor decide the price. Ask for the workshop diagnostics, check the charger is the original and ask how many kilometres it has done. The guide to selling your used e-bike tells you what the seller should show you.
Before you pay: the five-minute test
- Get on and ride: no strange noises when pedalling or braking.
- Shift through all the sprockets: they should engage without skipping.
- Squeeze the front brake and push the bike: if you feel a knock in the headset, there's play.
- Look at the serial number under the bottom bracket and compare it with the receipt.
- Check the size: with the saddle at your height, you should reach the handlebar comfortably.
Conor compared with other second-hand options
If your budget is in the lower part of the mountain bike range, a well-kept entry-level Conor competes with any entry-level hardtail from other brands. What sets it apart is the condition, not the logo. If you can stretch a little further, it's sometimes worth looking for a used mid-range hardtail, with a better fork and hydraulic brakes, even if it's older. And if you're going to do real mountain riding, check the guide to buying a second-hand mountain bike first: it helps you compare bikes from different brands with the same criteria.
If you're selling your Conor
Say in the listing whether it's from the WRC line and which exact model it is: that's what separates your bike from the entry-level ones and justifies the price. Add the size, the year, what you've changed and photos of the drivetrain and the serial number. If it's entry-level, be clear: a low, honest price sells fast.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a second-hand Conor worth?
It depends on whether it's entry-level or from the WRC line. As a reference, on bicis.net a used mountain bike asks a median of €813, a road bike €1,100 and an e-bike €2,080 (218 listings, data at 30 October 2026).
How do I know if a Conor is from the WRC line?
It says so on the frame and on the receipt. If the seller says it's a WRC and it doesn't appear on either, be wary.
Is a used entry-level Conor worth it?
Yes, if the price is low and it's in good condition: it's a simple bike for getting started or for the city. Deduct what it costs to get it ready.
What should I check on a used Conor e-bike?
The battery, the motor and the original charger. Ask for the workshop diagnostics and the kilometres it has done.
