Black Friday Specialized: Save on bikes, apparel, shoes and more

Whether you're racing in the rain or just want an extra layer for the weekend club ride, the SL Pro Rain jersey is a good product, and with this 73% discount, it's hard to ignore.

The Rockhopper is the brand's entry-level hardtail mountain bike, offering excellent performance at a price. This one gets a nice discount, bringing mountain biking to the masses for under $500.

If you want the Rockhopper but are keen on a 1x groupset, then the Expert is a great option. This one, in a flashy green colourway, gets $225 off.

The flagship race bike in Specialized's range, the Tarmac SL8 with SRAM Red tested as the fastest bike - with a rider - in our 2024 superbike wind tunnel test. Here, you can get it with a 15% discount, bringing it down to just under $11k.

The typical Sirrus is designed for commuting and fast-riding in the city, the Sirrus X, however, is its rugged stablemate that can handle a little bit of the rougher roads or lighter off-road paths. This one, the Sirrus X 3.0, is equipped with Microshift drivetrain with a wide spread of gears, durable wheels, and rugged tyres.

One of the most popular gravel bikes on the market, with its big tyre clearance, featherweight frame and comfortable ride quality, it's a market leader in many regards. This one gets 20% off, so not the biggest saving, but $800 back into your pocket is never a bad thing.

Nothing aero or special about these socks, but they are comfy, stylish, and available with a tasty 60% off.

Whether you're buying them for foot-out-flat-out downhill riding or just a pedal to the pub with your family, this deal gets you a $150 product for just $40.

The flagship Specialized product, the S-Works Tarmac SL8 race bike. Sure, you could get a full bike for this price, but if you're looking to build up a bike to your preferred specs, then starting with a frameset is the way to go, and a 20% discount will ease the purse strings a little in the process.

If you're more interested in a full-bike buy, then the Tarmac SL8 Pro is available here with a modest 15% (but still significant £1250) off. This one comes with Shimano Ultegra Di2, Roval carbon wheels and a one-piece aero cockpit.

The older flagship frame - the Tarmac SL7 - is now repurposed as a more budget-friendly race bike. This is the 'Comp' spec, with Shimano 105 Di2 groupset, DT Swiss wheels and Roval's finishing kit.

The Allez is Specialized's entry-level bike, but don't take that to mean you're getting entry-level performance. Combining Shimano and Praxis components for the groupset, and then Specialized's own wheels and finishing kit, this is perfect for the budget-conscious rider.

Thanks to the recent launch of the Aethos 2, the original version is being given a significant discount. This one offers a mechanical 105 groupset and comes with a spare pair of lightweight wheels from Scope, all with a 43% discount.

This version gets an even bigger discount, than the above. It comes with a Shimano 105 Di2 electronic groupset, and a pair of lightweight Scope R3 carbon wheels.

If you don't want - or need - a spare pair of wheels, then Balfes might have a better option for you. This one, at 40% off, gets Shimano's 105 Di2 groupset and the stock DT Swiss wheels.

The S-Works version of the Aethos 1 was originally a £12k bike, but right now you can get it at a hugely discounted price, bringing it down by over £4000.

And a final deal to offer a bit of variety away from bikes: this is one of my favourite pieces of kit for riding in winter, these knee-high neoprene overshoes are cosy, water-resistant, and durable enough for a bit of off-road use too.

Originally launched with the Sub6 Lace shoes, the 'warp sleeve' as it was then known is now called a aero shoelace sleeve, and can be used on any cycling shoes to smooth the airflow over your laces.
