How to choose the right used bike for you
Start with the routes you ride and your preferred riding position. Choose a used bike by considering its size, features and individual condition together. Our catalogue includes brands such as Colnago, Scott, Trek, Wilier, Megamo, Specialized and Cannondale: compare the builds as well as the name on the frame.
- Road: used road bikes are suitable for tarmac, training and long rides. Geometry, gearing and wheels help you understand whether a model meets your needs.
- MTB: among used mountain bikes, a hardtail has a suspension fork; a full-suspension bike adds rear suspension, useful for tackling rough ground and technical trails.
- E-bikes: used electric bikes offer pedal assistance. Consider the intended use, motor characteristics and battery condition.
Size, frame and components: what to compare
The manufacturer's stated size is a starting point. Compare the geometry with your measurements and with a bike you find comfortable to ride: letters and numbers are not equivalent across brands. Our bike fitting service can help you assess your position.
For the frame, consider material, geometry and condition. Carbon and aluminium have different characteristics, but material alone does not determine a bike's comfort or quality. Also check the wheels, tyres and tyre clearance.
The groupset affects shifting and the available gearing. Electronic shifting requires battery management; mechanical shifting uses cables. Also assess drivetrain wear and brake condition. To find out more, read the guide to used road bikes.

Frequently asked questions
What types of used bikes can I find at Evolution Bikes?
The category includes used road bikes, hardtail and full-suspension mountain bikes, and e-bikes. Available brands include Colnago, Scott, Trek, Wilier, Megamo, Specialized and Cannondale.
How do I choose the size of a used bike?
Compare your measurements with the model's geometry, rather than relying solely on the size letter or number. Our team can advise you, and our bike fitting service can help you assess your riding position.
What should I assess before buying a used road bike?
Consider size, frame condition, wheels, brakes and drivetrain wear. Also check that the geometry and gearing suit your routes.
Is a used hardtail or full-suspension MTB better?
A hardtail has front suspension and is also suitable for smooth off-road tracks. A full-suspension bike adds rear suspension, which helps maintain control and grip on rougher ground.
What matters when choosing a used e-bike?
Assess battery condition, the operation of the assistance system and the motor's characteristics in relation to your planned routes. Range also varies with elevation gain, weight and the assistance level used.
