– “Together with our partners, we have custom built, designed and put together the most amazing machines. The bikes are exactly what we wished for, reflecting the philosophy behind AVIP and POC´s entry into the road bike scene”, says Stefan Ytterborn, POC CEO and founder.

The auction will feature two limited edition Cervélo RCA road bicycles, valued at $20,800 (€15,400) each, and two Cervélo P5 time trial bikes, each valued at $19,200 USD (€14,200).

The proceeds of the auction will be used to support Spinalis, a charitable foundation whose mission is to support the research and treatment development in the field of spinal cord injuries.

– “The bikes have spent most of their time being showcased at the POC Headquarters in Stockholm and we have become connected to them. We are really pleased to do an auction for an important cause, and it is with mixed feelings that the bikes are leaving for someone, somewhere. Whoever you are, please promise to take good care of these gems”, says Stefan Ytterborn, POC CEO and founder.

The POC AVIP Bike auction will run between June 17 and July 1.
