The current market value is what your bike, wheels or gear would reasonably sell for today — not what you originally paid for it.

Here are a few easy ways to figure it out:

• If you just sold it: The market value is the sale price.
  
  

• If it’s your personal item: Look at recent sales of similar items on marketplaces like Pinkbike, eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist to see what they’re actually selling for. You can also use Bicycle Blue Book for complete bicycles, or ask an AI tool such as ChatGPT or Gemini for a value estimate.
  
  

• If it’s a current model: Check the manufacturer’s or dealer’s website for the current replacement price.

Why this matters

When you book your shipment, you’ll enter the current market value and choose how much Premium Protection you’d like to purchase.

If your properly packed shipment is lost or damaged in transit, coverage is based on:

• The actual cost to repair or replace the item, and

• The amount of Premium Protection you selected
  

To make sure you’re fully covered, choose a Premium Protection amount that is equal to your item’s current market value.
