Gear up for winter riding with Tredz

Now is a great time to buy your winter essentials too, as Tredz is running its Black Ticket Event, which gives you great discounts with new deals each week in the run-up to Black Friday.

With cooler weather and dark nights upon us, the clothing and equipment you need changes. Keeping warm, dry and visible when riding outdoors take priority, while a session on the turbo trainer becomes an attractive option to stay warmer and drier and to maintain your fitness when there’s more limited opportunity to ride outdoors.

Tredz has all you need for winter cycling, whether that’s indoors or outdoors and offers some great deals and fast delivery, whether you’re looking for top quality lights, weatherproof clothing or just a decent set of mudguards.

Our pick of the best winter cycling kit at Tredz

Lights

Tredz has a huge range of lighting options available for immediate delivery, from leading brands including Exposure, Cateye and Lezyne.

Take the Exposure Diablo Sync Mk2 light, for example. Based in the UK, Exposure’s build quality and tech are renowned and the Diablo Sync Mk2 will last for years. It can be mounted either on the bars or your helmet and has a maximum output of 1850 lumens, enough to light up any trail, while still giving you the runtime and illumination for longer rides and smart features to manage the light’s output. Tredz is selling the light at 20 per cent off its SRP.

The Lezyne Macro Drive 1300 XXL is another high output option with a 20 per cent discount at Tredz. It’s got a large capacity battery that will give you a 2:30 run time at maximum illumination and up to 148 hours in its most economical mode. At £72, it’s a bit of a bargain.

If you need lights for urban riding, the Cateye AMPP 400 and Viz 150 light set costs just £40 with Tredz’s 20 per cent discount. Both the front and rear lights are water resistant and offer four different modes for use either in daylight or at night.

A quality rear light is really important for winter riding day and night and Tredz has the Lezyne Strip Drive Pro 300 priced at £42, saving you £10 on the SRP. That 300 really is the number of lumens that it emits in its highest daytime flash setting, one of its 11 modes, making sure that you’ll be noticed.

Winter clothing

Cool weather calls for warmer clothing and Tredz stocks a huge range, with many items at a significant discount to their recommended price, so covering up for winter doesn’t need to cost a fortune.

You’ll want to keep your legs warm and Tredz has a great deal with up to 45 per cent off the Castelli Velocissimo 5 bib tights. The lower legs are made of Castelli’s spray resistant Nanoflex fabric, while the upper section is made of more breathable Thermoflex fabric. They use Castelli’s Kiss Air2 seat pad for long distance comfort. 

Gloves are essential in cold weather too and Tredz has some nice discounts on performance options like the Castelli Perfetto RoS for cold, damp days and the Sealskinz Waterproof All Weather Ultra Grip Knitted gloves if it’s proper wet, both with useful discounts.

A waterproof jacket is a good shout for winter riding and Endura has you covered here too, with the Hummvee Waterproof Cycling Jacket. Its taped seams help keep out heavy rain, but it’s still breathable, while underarm vents provide additional airflow if you need it. With 23 per cent off, it’s priced down to £68.99. 

A long sleeved cycling jersey is a great option for riding in cold weather and the Castelli Puro 3 is a great full-featured option with a fleece backed fabric. There are large reflective stripes at the rear across the pockets and at the front across the chest and a double thickness collar to keep your neck warmer. It’s priced from £84 at Tredz, a 33 per cent discount to full price.

The Castelli Perfetto RoS Convertible Jacket is a versatile piece for damp weather, which you can wear both when it’s cold enough for long sleeves and when it’s warm enough without. Castelli’s kit is usually expensive, but with up to 46 per cent off at Tredz, you can enjoy the Perfetto’s versatility at prices from £135.00.

Finally, a quality long sleeved base layer will finish off your winter riding clothing, ensuring you stay warm. The Endura Engineered long sleeved base layer is a comfortable option with a skin tight fit to ensure that you have no cold spots. It’s priced from just £34.99 at Tredz, a 32 per cent discount.

Mudguards

Tredz has discounts on over 100 different mudguards coming into winter too. 

If you’ve got the space for full mudguards, the SKS Raceblade Pro XL mudguard set will attach to any bike frame. It fits on disc brake bikes and includes front and rear mudflaps to give you full coverage. They’re priced at £36.99 with Tredz’s 26 per cent discount.

Another classic full length mudguard option, this time for bikes with mudguard eyelets, is the SKS Chromoplastic. The mudguards are super-durable with stainless steel fittings and stays and will last for years. There’s a useful saving of 15 per cent at Tredz, bringing the price for the set down to £38.99.

There’s even a hefty discount on the original Ass Savers mudguard and Muc-Off’s front and rear equivalents, any of which you can get for well under a tenner.

Turbo trainers

Of course you could always take to the turbo trainer until the weather improves. Tredz has you covered there too, with the Tacx Neo 2T and the Wahoo Kickr as options or, if you have the space, the Tacx Neo Bike offering you a complete exercise bike package that means you don’t need to hook up your outdoor bike.
