Purchasing a used bike can be an easy way to save money when shopping for a bike as you can avoid the initial depreciation that comes with purchasing a new bike. However buying used has some risk to it, whether it is shady sellers or hidden damage you may have buyers regret post purchase. Trek’s new Red Barn Refresh program is one of the first factory certified preowned bike programs that seeks to eliminate the risk of used bikes and ensures used bikes find new owners to enjoy them. Each bike is “certified awesome” with a full 151-point inspection, servicing and cleaning by a Trek technician at Trek’s facilities. Once each bike has been processed, they are professionally photographed and listed on Trek’s website where they can be directly purchased and come with a full Trek factory warranty for peace of mind.
The Red Barn Refresh program features a wide variety of bikes from top-of-the-line road bikes to commuter bikes. Most of the bikes available through the program come from Trek’s demo and marketing bikes as well as Trek’s trade in program. Currently the program accepts Trek bikes 10 years old or newer with a value greater than $150 based on the Bicycle Blue Book Value Guide. Vintage Trek bikes are also accepted on a case-by-case basis which means you may come across a future classic on the listing as well. The used bikes are only available through the Trek website and are shipped directly to your door tuned nearly fully assembled with custom packaging and instructions.
One of the key parts of the Red Barn Refresh program is the direct-to-consumer bike sale model. Rather than buying a bike from a local Trek retailer, the bikes are purchased online and shipped directly to your door. The bikes are shipped in special Red Barn Refresh bike boxes that are designed to simplify assembly and unboxing process. Visually, the boxes are slightly wider than traditional bike boxes with Trek branding and a fun “RIDE BIKES, HAVE FUN, FEEL GOOD” quote printed on the backside. What makes the Red Barn bikes special is how the bike is secured to it and how the box opens up...
