Nino Hoffmann is auctioning her bike on eBay

Santa Cruz 5010 Nina Hoffmann Auktion Ebay

German downhill rider Nina Hoffmann has one too many bikes in her garage and is now selling it on eBay. The proceeds from the sale of her custom-built Santa Cruz 5010 will go toward trail projects and inclusion initiatives in Germany, distributed through the Mountainbike Forum Deutschland and its Bike Spirit Awards.

Unfortunately, some will sigh, Nina Hoffmann isn’t selling any of her Downhill World Cup race bikes. It’s just her fun trail bike, the 5010. But this one features a one-of-a-kind design. The graphic design studio Sugototal, which also contributed to the design of the Ride, has created decals that protect the paint while making the bike even more beautiful.

Details on the build of the size M 29er are revealed at Listing on eBay. The highest bid as of June 9 is 7,250 euros. Shipping costs are added and vary depending on the region to which the bike is to be shipped—for non-EU destinations, customs duties may also apply.

The amount ultimately paid by the auction winner will be converted into prize money for the Bike Spirit Award from Mountainbike Forum Deutschland. Nine projects are listed as finalists; the Bikeländ Eberbach is nominated in two categories, which is why there are actually only eight. In addition to classic community trails, the list includes an adaptive bike route for people with disabilities, a cycling club’s youth engagement initiative, and a multi-day tour in Bavaria.

The Mountainbike Forum will announce the winners on June 17, 2026, during the Mountain Bike Congress. The auction for Nina’s 5010 ends on Sunday, June 14.
