Buy a used mountain bike at velio

Do you like to be out in nature and cycling in different mountains and forests? New adventures, varied routes and sporting activities are simply part of your lifestyle? Then a mountain bike is just the thing for you! With its wide tires and geometry, a mountain bike - as the name suggests - is perfect for the great outdoors. Whether forests, hills, stony paths or steep slopes - with a mountain bike you can traverse the most jolting routes and go on breathtaking tours.

`

But a new mountain bike can be quite expensive, especially if you pay attention to the right technology and equipment for your adventures. But at velio you can find high-quality mountain bikes in used condition at more affordable prices, because we are convinced that even used bikes have endless potential and can reliably accompany you on your tours from now on. Find the right bike for you among a variety of top brands and take a step towards sustainability!

`

What are the key features of a good mountain bike?

Mountain bikes are characterized by their geometry, which is adapted to different environmental conditions, and the particularly thick tires with deep tread, so that a stable stand is ensured even on slippery surfaces.

`

Find the right frame size

The right frame size is the be-all and end-all. Your mountain bike should be neither too small nor too big for you, so that you have an optimal and comfortable seat height on the bike and enough legroom to be able to pedal properly. The size of the frame of your mountain bike depends on your own height.

`

If you are between two frame sizes, you should choose the frame size according to your interests. If you prefer a more agile, sporty ride, you should choose the smaller frame size. For a smooth, touring-oriented ride, the larger frame size is the right choice.

`

At velio you will find different mountain bikes with different frame sizes, so there is something for everyone. If you don't know your frame size, that's no problem: our BikeFinder makes your search easier and shows you bikes with the right frame size.

`

How much does a mountain bike weigh?

Of course, when choosing your used mountain bike, the weight is also important. After all, there may be obstacles in your way so that you have to shoulder your bike and carry it over them. The weight therefore plays an essential role in the final purchase decision.

`

How much a mountain bike ultimately weighs depends on whether it is a full or a hardtail. Hardtails usually weigh a little less than fullys. Light hardtails weigh between 8 and 9 kg on average, while other bikes can weigh up to 15 kg.

`

Of course, the weight varies depending on the equipment. Basically, however, it can be said that additional weight in the right places does no harm, but definitely improves the handling.

`

Which used mountain bike suits you best?

In order to be able to decide on a used mountain bike, you should clearly define your intentions in advance. Because not all mountain bikes are the same. A distinction is mainly made between hardtail mountain bikes and fully mountain bikes.

`

First and foremost, the two types differ in their suspension. Hardtails are - as the name suggests - not suspended at the rear. Fullys, on the other hand, have a fully suspended frame set. This means they have a movable rear end, which is controlled by a damper.

`

Mountain bike Hardtail

The hardtail is the original form of the mountain bike. Hardtail mountain bikes are best ridden on dirt and forest roads. They are used especially for day tours and are perfect for moderate downhill use.

`

Benefits of Hardtail mountain bike:

• Low weight

• more affordable entry price

• less care and maintenance required

• less energy loss through the chassis

`

Mountain bike Fully

Fully stands for full suspension. Fully mountain bikes are particularly popular with alpine cross lovers and participants in MTB races. They are best suited for downhill/single trails with bumps or obstacles. Even on slippery trails, they bring you safely forward with the damping locked.

`

Benefits of Fully mountain bikes:

• high control and stability

• greater grip due to the suspension

• better traction

• higher speed

• extended range of use to master extreme terrain

`

Mountain bikes for men and women

At velio, both men and women can find the right used mountain bike to suit their needs. Basically, the requirements are divided here as far as the geometry of the mountain bikes is concerned. The generally smaller body size of women requires a smaller frame size from the outset, and also the essential differences in body build have points of friction with the usual geometry of mountain bikes.

`

Mountain bikes for women differ in essential points:

• smaller frame size

• shorter top tube

• smaller overhang height

• smaller overall size

• wider, padded saddle

`

At velio you can find used mountain bikes for both women and men. Our team of experts is familiar with the different requirements and will advise you on the geometry that suits you perfectly.

`

How much does a mountain bike cost?

Quality has its price, of course, which is also reflected in the market: On average, you can get a good mountain bike for €2,000 and up. We recommend that you think through your decision before buying and pay special attention to the quality of the respective product, because after all, you want to take your mountain bike on many tours and not be confronted with defects after the first few laps.

`

The price also depends on whether you choose a hardtail or a full mountain bike. Hardtail mountain bikes are primarily suitable for beginners and are therefore available for a lower price, while fully mountain bikes are more in the higher price ranges.
