Wow, that's quite a whack in the price 😱 on the E-Caliber 9.9 XX1 AXS Gen 2

Imagine originally paying $13,699 plus tax and then go a try and sell it a short time later because the bike did not feel right for you . . . . Ouch. I'd say you would be reselling it for $4000 to 4500. Maybe a $9,200 hit, if you're lucky.

I would guess that the E-Caliber will be one of the bikes that is discontinued as part of Trek's product rationalization plan, and thus the discounts.

Who says that you have to sell a bike for a certain fraction of what you paid for it? If you happend to get a really good deal, why pass that on to the next buyer? The bike is a high spec bike (I am judging from the rrp, I haven't checked) and will be in competition with other used bikes that not as high spec and were not bought with a big discount.

But in the end, it will only sell what someone is prepared to pay. It is the state of mind that I am querying.
