How much is a used Specialized worth? Second-hand prices in 2026

Specialized is one of those brands you see in every Sunday group ride, on mountain trails and, more and more, in the bike lane with a motor. That's why «second-hand Specialized» is one of the most common searches when someone wants a new-to-them bike without paying shop prices. And for the same reason, anyone selling theirs wants to know how much they can ask without selling themselves short or scaring buyers away.

You won't find a price list by model here, because there isn't one: the price is set by the bike's family, the build, the year and the condition. What you do have are the real figures for what sellers ask on bicis.net, split by type of bike, and a method to place yours.

What a used bike goes for on bicis.net today

Before looking at the brand, look at the type of bike. The table shows the asking price in active «For sale» listings on bicis.net, across all brands. It's what sellers ask, not the final sale price, and it's a starting point for any second-hand Specialized.

Data as of 26 October 2026, from 217 listings. You can see the full table and how it's counted in Cycling in figures.

How to read it: the median is the price of the listing right in the middle. The cheap band gathers the quarter of listings with the lowest prices and the expensive band the highest quarter. A recent high-end Specialized usually falls in the expensive band for its type; an entry-level one with a few years on it, in the cheap band.

The Specialized families that sell most second-hand

Specialized organises its range into families, and each has its own second-hand market. Knowing which one your bike belongs to is the first step to pricing it.

Road and gravel: Allez, Tarmac, Roubaix, Aethos and Diverge

The Allez is the aluminium entry point and sells quickly to people starting out. The Tarmac is the race bike and the most searched-for; within the same family there are very different builds, from mechanical groupsets to S-Works with electronic shifting. The Roubaix, more comfortable for long rides, and the Aethos, light and classic, have their loyal following. In gravel, the Diverge rules, with strong demand in autumn and spring. If yours is a road bike, compare it with the €1,100 median and go up or down depending on the build.

Mountain: Rockhopper, Chisel, Epic and Stumpjumper

The Rockhopper is the entry-level hardtail and usually sits near the cheap band, up to €450. The Chisel is the aluminium hardtail with racing ambitions. The Epic is the marathon and XC full-suspension bike, and the Stumpjumper the trail bike lots of people want for everything. A recent, well-kept Stumpjumper or Epic can go beyond the expensive band for mountain bikes, from €1,380, because suspension and carbon weigh heavily on the price.

E-bikes: Turbo Levo, Turbo Vado, Turbo Como and Turbo Creo

The Turbo family is where most money changes hands. The Turbo Levo is the benchmark eMTB, the Vado and the Como are urban and leisure bikes and the Creo is the road and gravel bike with a light motor. The median for e-bikes on bicis.net is €2,160, and here the state of the battery changes the price more than anything else. Before buying one, go over the checks for a used e-bike.

What raises and lowers the price of a used Specialized

Two bikes from the same family can have very different prices. What matters most:

• The build. The groupset, wheels and suspension explain much of the difference between an entry-level Tarmac and an S-Works.
• The year. The first couple of years are when a bike loses most value; after that it drops more slowly. As a guide, a Specialized with three or four seasons usually asks almost half of what it cost new, if it's been well looked after.
• The state of the frame. On carbon, any knock takes a lot off and it's worth showing it in clear photos.
• The battery, on the Turbos: the charge cycles and the real range it gives today.
• The invoice and the serial number. They build trust and help you sell sooner and better.
• Extras. A better saddle or wheels help, but you almost never get back what they cost.

How to price yours, step by step

1. Find the new price of your family and build in the year you bought it.
2. Take off for the years and use: a quarter in the first year is usual, and a bit less in the following ones.
3. Adjust for condition: frame, drivetrain, brakes, wheels and, if it's an e-bike, battery.
4. Compare with the median for its type in the table and with what's listed right now in all bicis.net listings.
5. Fine-tune with the bike valuation tool, which gives you an indicative price for your model.

If you're buying: what to check on a Specialized

Always ask for the frame's serial number and check it against the invoice. Ask about fork and shock services if it's a mountain bike, and about the motor's mileage if it's a Turbo. Try the bike in person, check the size and never pay in advance. A well-chosen second-hand Specialized gives you years of riding for a lot less than it costs new.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a second-hand Specialized cost?

It depends on the type and the range. As a guide, on bicis.net a used road bike asks a median of €1,100, a mountain bike €813 and an e-bike €2,160 (217 listings, data as of 26 October 2026). High-end Specialized bikes usually sit at the expensive end of each type.

Which Specialized resells best?

The families in most demand, such as the Tarmac on the road, the Stumpjumper in mountain biking, the Diverge in gravel and the Turbo Levo among e-bikes, usually sell sooner. It helps a lot if the build is recognisable and the bike has an invoice.

How much value does a Specialized lose each year?

It usually loses a quarter of its price in the first year and less in the following ones. After three or four years, a well-kept bike usually asks almost half of what it cost new.

How do I know if a used Specialized is stolen?

Ask for the serial number, compare it with the invoice and be wary if the seller doesn't have it or is in a hurry to close. On bicis.net you can message the seller and ask everything before meeting up.
