This Sigma Sports Cyber Monday discount code could create some of the best deals of the whole Black Friday sales event

thomas.wieckowski@futurenet.com (Tom Wieckowski) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 17:16:01 +0000

It's Cyber Monday today, which means the conclusion of the Black Friday sales event, which has been running all weekend.

There have been loads of deals, some average, some good, and some pretty great. Our focus is on bringing you the best ones we can find, and peppering them into our Cyber Monday bike deals roundups.

Most deals from Friday stay the same until today, and elsewhere, plenty of new ones are released. This is the case at Sigma Sports, which has released a new EXTRA20 Cyber Monday 20% off discount code that can be used on selected and - crucially - already discounted items.

We have applied it to a few deals, and it just may result in some of the biggest deals of the whole weekend. We have found some monster savings.

To take advantage, add your chosen item to your basket and add EXTRA20 in the discount code box to see the new, lower total. Not every item is included, but there are over 4000 to browse in the 'Extra 20' section.

Take a look at a few we've found below; there are some genuinely good deals here.

Cyber Monday bike deals LIVE: The 10 very best deals in the final hours of the sale

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 10:15:22 +0000

The clock is well and truly running down on the Cyber Monday bike deals as we enter the Black Friday weekend's 11th hour.

It's been a busy weekend with a host of incredible discounts (as well as some not-so-good ones too, of course). We've been hard at work hunting down the best cycling deals, and although we've been kept on our toes with constant price changes and new deals springing up all the time, we've found literally hundreds.

The best of those that remain available are listed in our Cyber Monday hub, but here in this live blog, we've cut the list down to just 10; the cream of the crop, the pick of the litter.

And now, for our top 10 deals! Five in the USA, five in the UK.. let's go!

Editor's Picks USA

The cheapest it's ever been, and with a few colours available. We really like the Watch Ultra 2, and although it's not designed purely with cycling in mind, it balances sport and everyday function really well, especially if you're an iPhone user. View Deal

This is the biggest discount this trainer has ever received, making an already capable smart trainer excellent value. This is a really solid buy for the money and should stand you in good stead for years to come.

No longer Garmin's top 5-series computer, but still very much one of the best bike computers on the market, and this is the lowest price it's ever been. View Deal

The GP5000S TR is our choice as the best all-round road tyre. Competitive Cyclist has sizes 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm, but only in the Black walled variant.View Deal

This is the best rear bike light. It has a 200hr battery life (no, not a typo), and a really neat downward-facing LED to provide excellent side visibility. At full price it's a great buy, but when discounted it's a no-brainer. View Deal

Editor's Picks UK

This is the lowest price the Kickr Core 2 has been so it's prime time to get set up for a winter of indoor training. This model comes with Zwift's Cog, which is a universal system and means you don't have to install a cassette onto the trainer, with shifting taking place virtually in Zwift. View Deal

While it isn't quite as well known as the likes of Wahoo and Garmin, the Hammerhead Karoo is well up there as a contender for the best bike computer on the market right now. Clear, easy navigation and an intuitive operating system make it a dream to use, and is well worth considering at this price. View Deal

The Cytal MIPS is available in a range of colours; some are out of stock now or on back order, but there's still a solid deal to be had now. View Deal

This might not just be our most recommended bike light, but we've shouted about it so much it might be our most-recommended product full stop, to the point it's become an office meme. Bright, with a long battery life, good mounts, and excellent side visibility, as well as being great value even at full price. View Deal

Another monster deal, and one we are a bit confused by, to be honest, given how popular they are. Here's a massive saving on Shimano SPD-SL cleats.View Deal

Hello everyone, welcome to Cyclingnews' Cyber Monday bike deals live hub. I'm Will, and I'll be your host for the rest of the day.

I've already spend the last few days filling our other live hubs up with deals, so if you've seen them already you'll be familiar with the format. If you're fresh, welcome - this is how it works:

1) I browse every site I can think of (well, the cycling ones) and find good deals
2) Once I find something worth shouting about I post it here

It's that simple. Right, with that out the way I'm going to get my hunting hat on.

I'm going to start by doing a hitlist of my favourite deals of the weekend, if they're still available. First up, Rapha's Pro Team Gore-Tex Rain Jacket, which is incredible, won't be as good again, and still available in smaller sizes in the UK and US.

The full discount is added in your basket, so don't be put off by the initial price.

This is the best waterproof jacket I've reviewed while here at Cyclingnews, and I've tested a tonne of them. It won't be around again thanks to changing regulations though. View Deal

Again, add it to your basket to get the full discounted price.

A true great, and still what I reach for when the chips are down and the weather is really bad. View Deal

The best rear bike light on the market is still 41% off in the UK, and 30% off in the USA.

Magicshine's magnificent SEEMEE300 is our favourite bike light. It's got a comical 200hr battery life on eco mode, comes with really good mounts, has brake light functionality, and most importantly of all it is super visible. It has a downward facing LED that illuminates the road beneath you in an eerie red glow, making you visible from the sides too.

Considering all this light offers it's a wonder it doesn't cost double what it does at full price. With 30% off it's a mad buy. View Deal

Unusually, in the UK the deal is even better than in the US. Mine lives with me as a permanent fixture on my bike, and when I lost it (very sad day, that) I immediately replaced it. View Deal

While I often bring good news, sometimes this live price tracking does mean I have to shout about prices that aren't as good as they once were. My colleague, Tom, is a Torque obsessive, and found an incredible deal on a Park Tool torque wrench. It was previously 54% off at Amazon, but has now 'only' got a 40% reduction in price.

It's still a good buy in our opinion, but just slightly less good than it used to be, and lon longer on sale in the USA.

A fantastic torque wrench that still has a decent discount, but the trend is upwards for the price to one to get now before it goes up any further. View Deal

The safest road helmet on the market is still reduced, but selling out fast...

When I started doing live coverage POC's Cytal road helmet was available at just over half-off in the UK on Sigma Sports. It's still on sale, but the very cheapest model is all sold out, so it's my advice to pick this one up while you can still pick up 52% off, as the next cheapest is a less good (but still respectable) 30% off.

Market leading safety, combined with excellent ventilation and a lightweight package that sits comfy on my head. I'm a big fan of this one, but at full price it's a very expensive helmet. With this discount it's a great deal, but they're selling fast!View Deal

Competitive Cyclist has a tonne of Cyber Monday deals so I'm going to pick out afew of my favourites for my friends Stateside...

This is Castelli's deepest winter jacket, and I've used it in sub-zero conditions several times this year already. It features an inbuilt Polartec Alpha bodywarmer inside to keep your core toasty, but a fit that won't slow you down when you're going hard. Plus it's sunny yellow, which helps when it's grey out. View Deal

I suspect a great many of you have got gravel bikes now, and the promise of one-bike-to-do-everything dream may or may not have been realised.

Personally I am of the opinion that gravel tyres should be relatively low profile, especially in summer. It keeps things fun and spicy.

At the very extreme end, especially for my all-road friends, is the Vittoria Terreno Zero, which is almost a road tyre in form, and a great option for riders who mix a lot of tarmac with well groomed gravel, and now they're 46% off in all sizes!

A basically totally slick centre combined with lightly textured shoulders, and sizes from 37mm up to a whopping 50mm. A really good option for high summer, and those who lean towards less gnarly trails. Also great for broken roads year round. View Deal

Actually, it transpires that a tonne of Vittoria tyres are on sale, so let's go through them all together, starting with the most sloppy, though to the ones for lovely dry road riding...

54% off Terreno Wet in 38c and 45c - As you have probably worked out, a tyre for loose conditions, with big, widely spaced lugs.

54% off Terreno Mixed in 35-50c - More of a generalist, and also great as a 'cross tyre in narrower widths.

54% off Terreno Dry in 38c and 47c - Approaching a semi-slick, with a closely packed centre of hexagons and more prominent shoulder lugs to help in the corners.

20% off Cora Pro Control in 28c and 30c - An all-season version of the very fast Corsa Pro cotton tyre, with more grip and better puncture protection.

20% off Corsa Pro in 28c only - A race tyre for high summer, with a Grand Tour winning pedigree, and fast by our own lab testing too.

Quoc's Gran Tourer shoes are a wonderful, and decidedly handsome, option for gravel riding. The lace closure makes them infinitely adjustable, and more easy to fix on the fly if you're away from a bike shop on an epic adventure. They are also, I'm happy to report, 25% off in sizes 38-47 on Competitive Cyclist for Cyber Monday.

Designed for all-day (and multi-day) comfort, the Gran Tourer features a heavily lugged sole so that when you are forced to get of and push your bike you can still hike with relative ease. The microfibre upper can stand up to a tonne of abuse, and laces mean you can replace the closure in a pinch with anything you can lay your hands on. View Deal

While we're on Quoc... it teamed up with Maap recently to bring us a special edition M3 road shoe, which you can get in pink (you should) or a lovely off-white if you're a coward at 20% off in a wide range of sizes.

My colleague, Tom, is a big fan of the M3 shoes, both these and the more vented Air model. Personally I love the aesthetic, and if I didn't have terribly wide feet I'd be in the pink pair in a heartbeat...View Deal

According to Competitive Cyclist, 372 people are viewing this product right now...

Importantly, it's not a jacket I particularly got along with, because winter here in the UK tends to be colder and wetter than this new breathable version of the Perfetto can handle.

It's become known as 'Girona's perfect winter jacket' here at Cyclingnews, which is admittedly a fair reflection on Castelli's intentions, given it was designed in the knowledge that cyclists tend not to go out in super cold weather nowadays.View Deal

Graham, who's just ticked over 10,000 miles of riding for the year, describes these as his favourite bib shorts, and they're 35% off over at Competitive Cyclist in this fashion-forward paprika colourway.

With a pocket on each thigh, plus a third across the small of the back, there's enough space for all you'll need on a long day in the saddle.View Deal

A slightly lesser discount here for women, but still a deal worth shouting about given we'd happily pay full price for them. View Deal

We're going to take a quick hiatus from that steady stream of USA deals, with this blanket EXTRA 20% discount at Sigma Sports.

You'll get 20% off a host of items, some of which already discounted, making the savings enormous!

Some of the standout picks:

In five colours, you can get the well-renowned Protone Icon helmet for an incredible 56% discount.View Deal

We covered this deal last week when Sigma dropped the price to £137.99, and even though that one sold out, this discount means you can now get the black/white model for an incredible £112!View Deal

Back to the US, now, and it's time for some 90's chic Oakleys, with 25% off.

I'm pretty sure Matteo Jorgenson has been spotted in these this season, but I can't currently find proof. Regardless, if you're fed up with the hundreds of massive-lens options on the market and want something a little more retro, you can now save some money on the way. View Deal

Another great Apple AirPods 4 deal for anyone who missed out on Friday!

Now, this isn't quite as good a deal as we had on Friday, where Amazon slashed the price to an incredible $69.00, but if you missed out and you have regrets, then this might soften the blow somewhat.View Deal

Christmas is just around the corner (sorry, I know, it starts earlier every year), so I'm going to spend the next little while showing you things you can buy for a cyclist's stocking that they won't hate and just throw away...

First up, chamois cream, and Assos chamois cream at that.

The first pot of chamois cream is a real rite of passage for any serious cyclist. I have flip-flopped between various brands, but I think most riders have at least once enjoyed the cooling, slightly menthol-y kiss of Assos cream. It is far from unpleasant, though it's a surprise the first time if you aren't ready for it.

If you've suffered from saddle sores then chamois cream helps smooth the ride and stop chafing. Don't be shy, we all do it.

22 bucks for cream you put on your behind might sound a lot, but one tub lasts for ages (trust me, I've finished one). Use every ride if you like, or I use mine on big days only, but no matter how much they may protest I assure you that once you start using chamois cream it's hard to go back, and this is the good stuff, too.

There's a women's version too, thats appropriately pH balanced. View Deal

I cannot ride a dirty bike, but I also cannot be bothered waxing my chain, so I spend a lot of time cleaning my bike. There are always bits I can't reach, but with some of these puppies no sprocket is safe from my ministrations... Yes you can use a rag, but they're harder to roll up into a nice neat bit of floss.

No they aren't on sale, but they are dead cheap. Use to get between the sprockets of your cassette, down in your rim brakes, and deep into the crevices of your rear derailleur. Really useful stuff. View Deal

I beg of you, if you're going to buy a multi-tool then buy one with loads of tools on it. There are few things worse than having a mechanical that you could have fixed, if only you had a T25. This one from Crank Brothers has everything you could ever need on the road, including a chain breaker. The only thing I can think of you'd also need to take, besides the obvious pump and levers, are tubeless plugs, if tubeless is your thing.

From the smallest 2mm that'll handle derailleur limit screws, through to an 8mm that can get pedals off, plus 2 common torx sizes and a chain breaker, all packed into a compact little toolbox in your pocket. View Deal

My Colleague, Tom, has tested a load of chain lubes (rather him than me!) and his top pick for drip wax is on offer now and a prime stocking filler. Drip wax combines the convenience of wet lube with the cleanliness of immersion waxing, and can also be used to 'top up' a waxed chain between re-coats.

It's no secret, this is a really good bike lube. It's not meant for really wet conditions, but it'll keep your drivetrain much cleaner than a traditional wet lube. Just give it a properly good clean before you apply it for the first time. View Deal

Ok, last stocking filler for now... And this one is universal, unisex, and gets used all the time by me - the Castelli Toe Thingy 2 (yes that's their name).

I use them in spring and fall when it's too warm for a pair of overshoes, but too cold for just shoes and socks. Especially if there's a little standing water on the road they can just help keep the chill off your toes, and they don't take 45 minutes to put on like most overshoes.

Keep these in your sock drawer for those days where theres a chilly start. They go on easy enough that they won't slow you down, and can even be layered under thicker overshoes for an extra warm setup when the cold really sets in.View Deal

Ok, here's one mostly for cargo bike riders - A massive, scary Kryptonite chain lock. I have one and it just lives in the tray of my cargo bike and makes it a lot more secure (as it's a high value target) and a lot easier to lock thanks to it being long and flexible compared to a D-lock.

It's not the most convenient lock to carry round as a daily, but for high value bikes, or for situations where you can leave the lock in situ, it's a great high security option. I used mine at university for three years straight and just left it on campus each night when I came home, and it was good as gold. View Deal

Another brilliant Kryptonite lock is on sale at Amazon, in fact it's the most secure U-lock the brand makes, needing a claimed 10 angle grinder discs to actually get it off whatever it's locked to. It weighs a lot, but that's the price of security.

Bike thieves all basically just use angle grinders now, so you need a lock that can resist them. You'd need 5 discs to get through the shackle here, but because the shackle cant rotate in the barrel you'll need another 5 discs to actually get the thing off. This should be long enough for the thief to give up, run out of discs, or be hounded away, unless you've locked it up somewhere very secluded.View Deal

Here are my favourite winter cycling socks from Hollow, they're not listed as on sale on Amazon, but they're ten bucks cheaper than on the Hollow website.

They're incredibly warm, extremely soft, and I cherish them every ride I use them. They beat merino into a cocked hat and when it's properly baltic out they're always what reach for.

These are cheaper than they are elsewhere and a real investment in winter riding comfort. Forget your merino, these beat them in terms of warmth and softness. The alpaca wool fibres are hollow and so trap more air, keeping your little toes more cosy in the frozen air. View Deal

I'm struggling to understand how Sigma Sports can sell these so cheap!

The yellow cleats, with 6 degrees float are cheapest of all at the moment, at 62% off retail. View Deal

Slightly more expensive are the blue, two-degree float cleats. View Deal

And a bit more again are the fixed red cleats, but still an incredible better-than-half-price deal.View Deal

I'm going to change tack a little here, and share the content that we've created this weekend, to help ensure everyone following along has a full picture of what's been shared.

This deal will be available until stock runs out or Cyber Monday finishes, once its done its done. If you want a Wahoo Kickr Core 2 for just $399, now is the time to buy.

It isn't a Cyber Monday Garmin deal, but this competitor is the bike computer I'd buy in a heartbeat

Want to go faster? Some of the fastest equipment we have tested in the wind tunnel is on sale in the Cyber Monday sales

thomas.wieckowski@futurenet.com (Tom Wieckowski) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 20:35:41 +0000

There are lots of deals on the internet this weekend, and we've been hunting for properly good ones at Cyclingnews. Stay on top of them with our Cyber Monday live hub and Cyber Monday Bike Deals hub.

Our CN Labs testing project this year has seen us visit the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub multiple times for various test projects, whether that be in the wind tunnel testing bikes and wheels or carrying out aero side quests using a pedalling efficiency rig to test the rolling resistance.

Why? We're cycling tech journalists for a start, we're obsessed with this stuff, but we're also taking our best shot at carrying out some quality, independent testing for you, our readers.

To that end, we now have a collection of up-to-date data that we can use to highlight the fastest or most aero products we have yet tested, from helmets to bikes and wheels.

We have scouted the net for a range of deals on kit and componentry that have genuinely proven to be some of the very fastest, and you can head to our CN Labs page to read all of the results.

I'll caveat this by adding that bikes still need pedalling, you never see a bike racing on its own, and races and events are won by riders as much as equipment.

But fast kit is essential to be competitive now, if you're shopping for performance upgrades, but aren't sure where to turn, here's a collection of kit we have tested and, in many cases, raced on ourselves. This is competitive equipment that is right up there, within a few watts, with the best stuff on the market currently.

Don't worry if you're just starting out, and this world of cycling performance is totally new to you. My advice is to minimise any flapping or looseness when it comes to the cycling kit you wear, use the fastest tyres you can, and treat a spotless drivetrain with one of the best bike waxes or chain lubes. You'll be off to a good start with those three moves and save a load of watts.

Our CN Labs library houses all of our testing articles. Full disclosure, they are members-only pieces; subscriptions mean we can continue to carry out the best independent testing we can for our readers. However, you can read the news pieces on our superbike wind tunnel test, aero wheelset testing and why 40mm wider tyres may well be faster.

US deals

The Cervelo S5 is one of the fastest road bikes on the market, and we found this to be the case in our road bike aero test.

This bike has a monster spec, with 25% off in 48,51 and 54cm sizes. It also has very quick Reserve 5-/65 wheels and a Dura-Ace groupset.

Cervelo S5 review View Deal

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.

Tarmac SL8 reviewView Deal

This is one of the fastest aero bikes in the pro peloton. Canyon has discounts on a range of specs of the Aeroad for Black Friday, including this SRAM Force AXS spec with a power meter and Zipp 404 wheelset, although this spec is now only available in XS and S.

Canyon Aeroad review View Deal

The Vision Metron 60 SL wheelset was in the top five pairs in our wind tunnel test across three different speeds, 30,40 and 50Kph. The Metron RS wheelset sits above it now, but these are still very quick and competitive wheels.View Deal

The Reserve 52/63 aero wheelset was another top performer in our aero wheelset test.

These wheels have 25mm internal front and 24mm internal rear width, optimised for 25-34mm tyres.

Another very quick wheelset with 33% off. View Deal

The S-Works Evade 3 helmet has been one of the fastest around for a very long time. This Red model has 23% off in S/M/L sizes.

Best road bike helmetsView Deal

The GP5000S TR is our choice as the best all-round road tyre. It's fast, grippy, and long-lasting, and easily delivers all you'd ever want for a road bike tyre.

We found it to be the fastest of the 'normal' road tyres in our testing, with an excellent blend of speed, grip and puncture resistance. View Deal

There's 25% off the P Zero Race TLR tyre, which Pirelli offers in up to a 40mm size, a size we found to be faster than narrower ones. Want to try out 35 or even 40mm road tyres for yourself? Here's a bargain. View Deal

The Specialized Turbo Cotton is one of the fastest clincher tyres we have tested. This 320TPI version is for tubes only, and the 24mm size is the one discounted, but this is a good price for a very quick tyre, even if the spec is a little outdated. I'm going to include it anyway. View Deal

UK deals

One of the fastest bikes on the market, this S5 has just under 30% off in 51 and 54cm sizes. It comes with a Shimano Dura-Ace groupset and fast Reserve 52-63mm wheels. View Deal

The Scott Foil is another fast road machine that tested well in our aero test. This size small bike is 20% off and has the Syncros Capital wheelset as standard.View Deal

We tested the Artech 6.A wheelset in the wind tunnel, and it came out on top, that was the 'All road' version of the Artech, which is slightly wider and heavier.

These 65mm wheels weigh a claimed 1244g, which is nuts, and we reckon they will be on par performance-wise. It's still a load of cash, but there is a 10% discount.View Deal

Princeton make very desirable wheels, and these Wake 6560 Evo wheels were another strong performer in our tunnel tests. These 65/60mm deep wheels weigh in at 1453 grams, a very competitive weight for such a fast wheelset.View Deal

The Vision Metron 60 SL wheelset has been raced at the top level, and it was also a top performer in our CN Labs wind tunnel test.

This 60mm deep wheelset has a big 37% off right now, and will add speed to your setup. View Deal

The Silver edition of the Metron 60 primarily sees the wheels drop weight and gain flash silver decals.

For a 60mm wheel, these come in at 1460g for a clincher, a competitive figure for 60mm deep wheels. View Deal

Another super competitive wheelset ridden in the WorldTour is the Reserve 52/63mm mixed depth wheelset.

With a 25mm F / 24mm R hooked rim, these wheels come in at 1592 grams and will fit a 28/29/30mm tyre very nicely. View Deal

The Giant Rivet aero helmet was one of the very top performers in our helmet aero test. This model has 15% off in all three sizes. View Deal

The Trek Balista MIPS has 35% off here in all three sizes in white. It's used by the Lidl-Trek team and was one of the quickest helmets we tested. MIPS tech and a five-star Virginia Tech safety rating also make it strong safety-wise.View Deal

There is a range of sizes discounted here, the 40mm option, which we found to be the fastest on anything but smooth surfaces. Want to try a wider 35mm or even 40mm road tyre? Here's a deal.View Deal

The Corsa Pros are rapid, comfortably some of the fastest tyres around. There's a really healthy saving here for the 26, 28, and 32mm sizes.View Deal

This is one of the best prices I've seen on the GP5000S TR this year. It's only in the Black wall version, but in all the sizes from 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, and 32mm. The features include BlackChili Compound, which is designed to give an even faster, safer ride, and Continental's Active Comfort Technology to absorb vibrations and deliver a smoother ride. If it's good enough for Pogačar, it's good enough for you. At this Cyber Monday price, if you've never tried them, then now's the time...View Deal

We love the Turbo Cotton from Specialized, it's super fast, and still a very competitive tyre for tubes. This 24mm size has a massive 62% off. Whilst slightly outdated on the road, this could still be a great option for you, or for use on the track. I'm tempted myself. View Deal

Now's the time to buy an electric bike pump, with up to 35% off thanks to the Cyber Monday sales

Rebecca Bland — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 13:12:00 +0000

Black Friday may be behind us, but retailers are still ramping up their deals ahead of Cyber Monday tomorrow. Yes, it's another day dedicated to deals. Are you entertained?!

Anyway, there are actually some useful bits on offer for us cyclists, including an array of electric bike pumps. And as winter has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, they're a far more appealing option compared to hand pumps when you've got cold hands and don't want to be fiddling around with your gloves whilst your ride companions wait.

If electric bike pumps aren't quite your bag, we've put together our list of the best Cyber Monday bike deals to peruse.

In the US, Amazon has the Cycplus AS2 Pro discounted by 32% at $87.99. If you don't need the power of the Pro model, the Cycplus AS2 Tiny pump is also on offer, down to $50.53.

And in the UK, the popular Muc-Off AirMach Pro is 35% off on Merlin Cycles, bringing it down to £64.99. Or if you want to get in on the same deals as our Atlantic cousins, the Cycplus Tiny pump is down to £76.49.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deals, you can do that here:

USA Cycplus AS2 Tiny Bicycle Pump: 15% off at Amazon ~~$59.45~~ $50.53
USA Cycplus AS2 Pro Tiny Bicycle Pump: 32% off at Amazon ~~$129.99~~ $87.99
USA Airbank Mini Bike Pump: 21% off at Amazon ~~$39.99~~ $31.59
UK Cycplus Tiny Bicycle Pump: 15% off at Amazon ~~£89.99~~ £76.49
UK Muc-Off AirMach Pro Electric Mini Pump: 35% off at Merlin Cycles ~~£100.00~~ £64.99
UK Topeak E-Booster Digital Mini Hand Pump: 25% off at Tredz ~~£100.00~~ £74.99

Electric bike pumps are a relatively new product, but they've quickly become popular, with some becoming staples in club riders' saddle bags or jersey pockets. The benefits are numerous; they take up less room than a traditional hand pump and require far less effort to use, which is great in cold weather when your hands aren't really working.

They're also much more accurate at achieving the correct pressure for your tyres, although admittedly, some last longer than others and obviously, once the battery is flat they are nothing but extra weight in your bag.

But, there are plenty of decent options around - we've included some in our best bike pumps guide if you want to see what else is in the market.

In the US, Cycplus is one of the bigger names, and the AS2 is the model that made it onto our best pumps list. Small but mighty, the AS2 Tiny pump charges in 20 minutes, and can pump tyres up to a maximum of 100PSI.

If you don't mind spending a little bit more, however, the AS2 Pro can pump tyres up to 120PSI, and it only takes 120 seconds to reach that pressure on a 25c road tyre. Which means that inflating bigger tyres to lower pressures - more in line with what we all use now- it should be a breeze.

In the UK, Cycplus is still popular, and among the cheaper and more reputable options you can buy. Then there are the options from Muc-Off and Topeak, arguably more recognisable brand names, but the products all share the same concept. And, on Black Friday, all cost under £100.

US deals

Called the Tiny pump for a reason, the AS2 Tiny is just 97g, ideal for shoving in your jersey pocket for emergencies. It can inflate two tires up to 80PSI on one charge, or one tire up to 100PSI.View Deal

The AS2 Pro is Tiny's big sister. It can top a tyre up to 120PSI, and takes 30 minutes to charge fully. It also comes with an LED screen to show you what pressure the tyre is at.View Deal

Much cheaper than its rivals, the Airbank Mini Bike Pump still packs a punch. It can fill a tyre to 100PSI and weighs just 93g. It also uses USB-C charging, so you don't need to buy any proprietary cables.View Deal

UK deals

Our top electric bike pump, the Cycplus AS2 Pro Tiny Bicycle Pump, is a steal at 35% off on Amazon UK. It can inflate at least two tyres to 120PSI on one charge, making it a saddle bag staple.View Deal

This electric pump from Muc-Off comes with an LED screen, Schrader and Presta valve compatibility and can pump tyres up to a maximum of 120PSI, making it a strong contender in this category.View Deal

The E-Booster Digital mini pump comes with a digital gauge that makes it easy to read what pressure your tyres are inflating to, and a hose extender to make it easier to attach to the valves.View Deal

Why I'd buy an electric bike pump this Black Friday weekend

Electric bike pumps are here to stay, whether you're a convert or not. But this Black Friday weekend, I'd suggest now is the time to try one out if you were on the fence. Sure, they're a bit more expensive than a hand pump (unless you're buying the finest Italian-crafted product, of course), but they also offer benefits over the old manual pumps.

Of course, if you're not sold, there are plenty of old school pumps that don't need charging in our guide to the best bike pumps.

For example, imagine you're on a 100-mile ride. It's mile 76, and you're tired. You've misjudged the terrain and gone out way too hard. The café isn't for another 5 miles, and you suddenly hear the dreaded hiss. Your tyre is flat. Now you could struggle with your tyre, swap or patch your tube if you're running them, and then try your best to get enough air back in the tyre so it passes the finger squeeze test.

If you're doing it by hand, you're unlikely to know what pressure you're pumping to, and it takes a lot of effort to get back riding. If you use an electric pump, sure you still need to change your tube and get your tyre back on. But then the hard part is over, and you can simply attach the pump to the valve and watch the tyre inflate without any extra effort. Magical.

Cycplus has a good range of pumps for different types of riding, and different battery sizes depending on how many punctures you plan on getting in a ride. Then there are brands like Muc-Off and Topeak, who are typically a little more expensive, but if brand name is important, it might be worth paying a premium for.

Oakley Jawbreakers are the most iconic cycling sunglasses of all-time, worn by Mark Cavendish for most of his career – now they're 41% off this Black Friday weekend

paul.brett@futurenet.com (Paul Brett) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 20:56:47 +0000

Oakley recently unveiled its all-new Meta Vanguard smart glasses, with built-in Meta AI, and integration with both Strava and Garmin out of the box. They might be the future for sports sunglasses, and Oakley, but it’s one of its most iconic sunglasses models, the legendary Oakley Jawbreaker, that I’ve found with a massive discount this Black Friday Weekend.

Right now, at Sigma Sports in the UK, you can get Oakley Jawbreaker Sunglasses with Prizm Black and a bonus Clear Lens for just £129.00, which is an incredible 41% off the £220 RRP.

It's one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on what is - I’ll say it again - an iconic model, that has been worn by the equally iconic Mark Cavendish throughout the majority of his career.

They might not help you sprint as well as the Manx Missile, but they look very cool, and that's what's made the Oakley Jawbreakers stand the test of time as one of the best cycling sunglasses ever made. At this price, there is no better time to grab a pair.

For US shoppers, Backcountry has the Oakley Jawbreakers reduced to $201, which is a lesser but still decent 25%, and a saving of $67 on the MSRP of $268. Backcountry also has a choice of lenses and frame colours to sweeten the deal further.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deals, you can do that here:

Sigma Sports has the White framed Oakley Jawbreaker sunglasses with a Prizm Black and extra Clear Lens at an incredible 41% off. It's a limited-time sunglasses deal, so don't hang around if you want to pick up a pair this Black Friday weekend.View Deal

Backcountry has two versions of the Oakley Jawbreakers discounted by 25%. You can choose from the Matte Black/Prizm Road or the Polished White/Prizm Road, both equally stunning, and an impressive $67 off.View Deal

Our top choice as the best sunglasses goes to the Jawbreakers' sibling – the Oakley Encoder, and they share many of the features found in Oakley's iconic sunglasses. Jawbreakers have been around since 2015, and were first developed in collaboration with Mark Cavendish.

Featuring the Oakley Prizm Road lens, it is designed to improve contrast and ensure you always have the clearest view in the sunshine, while the clear lens included is perfect for your dawn or dusk training sessions.

The Jawbreakers also feature the brand's lightweight O Matter frame, paired with Unobtainium earsocks and nosepads, which they say combine to give a locked-in fit, remaining comfortable and secure even during the sweatiest of training sessions.

At these prices, if you're after a Black Friday and early Cyber Monday Oakley sunglasses deal, then these are worth picking up, before they disappear faster than Manx Missile on the Champs-Élysées...

Black Friday Apple deal sees AirPods Pro 3 and 2 reduced in price.

Paul Norman — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 17:56:24 +0000

The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple's top spec earbuds, listed at $249. But this Black Friday deal saw price of Apple's premium in-ear noise-cancelling headphones reduce; however, the deal in the US has returned to a normal price for the moment.

The Pro 2 models are however still available at a discounted rate in the UK.

That price buys you Apple's latest and best noise-cancelling tech, which it claims is twice as effective as that in its older generation AirPods Pro 2. Apple also says the AirPods Pro 3 will run for up to eight hours on a charge with active noise cancellation enabled. They also bring you 3D audio plus, and for the cyclist, there's an inbuilt heart rate monitor, as well as calories burned calculation.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deal, you can do that here:

USA: 12% off at Amazon $249.99

The full range of Apple AirPods has reached its lowest price ever this Black Friday and we've found great deals if you want the non-Pro version.

In the US, you can pick up the AirPods 4 for $99 - that's a 47% saving but the price has risen from the original deal, just to let you know. While in the UK they're £99, saving you a less generous 17%. Head over to our AirPods deals page for more.

Cyber Monday Apple deal sees money off the Apple Ultra Watch 2

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 15:48:00 +0000

If we go by the tight rules of the calendar, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, but that doesn't mean the deals have stopped. Plenty of sites are still offering excellent prices on cycling goodies.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the Apple Watch Series 10 might not be the most obvious choices for cyclists, but they have plenty of redeeming qualities - particularly if you're already in the Apple ecosystem. But if you're not in the Apple ecosystem and prefer a Garmin or alternative on your wrist, make sure you check out our roundup of the best Black Friday bike deals and Black Friday Garmin deals.

The US watch deals have now sold out or increased in price, for full transparency, but in the UK the discounts are slightly more modest, with the Ultra 2 smartwatch at £599 on Amazon and the Series 10 at £279 at John Lewis. There are some deals on refurbished units on Amazon UK; however, if you're not bothered about how sparkly your smartwatch is.

Head straight to the deals here:

The Watch Ultra 2 is technically not the latest model in the Apple lineup after it was superseded by the Watch Ultra 3, but it's still a seriously well-specced smartwatch with good battery life and features that integrate it into your life both at home, when exercising, when working and more.

The Series 10, again, isn't the most recent model in the Series lineup, but did make it into our best cycling watches guide earlier this year.

Both watches are ideal for iPhone users, as they integrate seamlessly with Apple phones to push notifications and allow people to use Apple Pay.

The Apple Ultra Watch 2 offers several cycling-friendly features in its workout mode, including speed, HR and elevation. It's also at the cheapest it's ever been in the US with this Black Friday deal.View Deal

In the UK, Amazon has the Ultra Watch 2 down to £689, with £60 off. It's still a big investment but could make it a more attractive Garmin alternative option at this price.

This deal is now not as good as it was at the weekend, so you may want to wait until the item is next discounted.
View Deal

No longer the top of the Series range, the 10 is still a decent cycling watch with plenty of cycling-specific features. Now, at a more wallet-friendly price.
View Deal

Why buy an Apple watch for cycling?

Compared to Garmin, Apple isn't a massive player in the sports watch game. But, if you're already in the Apple ecosystem with a Mac or iPhone, then it's a decent choice if you value more day-to-day life integration.

Comparing the Ultra Watch 2 or Series 10 to something like the Fenix isn't really fair, as the latter is far more adventure-oriented. So if you're a bit more of a mountaineer or deep-sea explorer, by all means, invest in a rugged Garmin.

But, if you want something to complement your day-to-day life with a bit of cycling packed in, the Apple Watch range offers plenty. The Ultra 2 and Series 10 both offer sport-specific metrics and individual sport workouts.

So if you're cycling, start a cycling workout, and you'll be able to see things like speed, FTP estimates and power meter compatibility. But, if you dabble in the dark art of running, you can track that as well without needing a new app or watch to do so.

The Ultra 2 also offers things like Apple Pay, Spotify integration and comprehensive mapping and navigation as well as Apple Find My so you can have peace of mind in case it ever goes walkabouts.

The Ultra 2 also uses titanium for the body construction, and as cyclists, we all appreciate the value of something made from titanium. Perhaps this could be the new watch for the climbers or weight weenies?

Save $500 on this ultra-premium Garmin watch you've probably never heard of in this Black Friday deal that slipped under everyone's radar

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 14:47:20 +0000

I've spent the last 48 hours (and counting) keeping our Black Friday Garmin Deals live hub ticking over, as well as our main Black Friday Bike Deals pages. This has meant a LOT of time checking for price drops on, mainly, Garmin smart watches. We've seen the lowest ever prices on the Epix, as well as great deals on the Forerunner models, but what I've unearthed I think blows them out of the water.

You may not have heard of the Quantix model before, because it is billed as a watch for seafarers, but within it, it holds all the same features as Garmin's other top-flight smart watches, just in an extremely classy titanium body, and alongside features like fish forecast and ocean navigation.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deal, you can do that here: Quantix 7X Solar ~~$1,099~~ $599

This is as cheap as this watch has ever been, as checked by the camelcamelcamel price tracking service, but more than that – having stared at very tactical-looking watches for endless hours – I think this is by far the best-looking watch Garmin makes.

Even if you don't own a boat...hell, even if you live hundreds of miles from a body of water, this is still a great watch. It covers all the functions for daily life that any good smartwatch should have, as well as running, cycling, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, surfing, and even indoor climbing. It's a very complete package.

You might think 'ooh, that metal band is a bit hefty for sports, though!', and you'd be right, but a silicone band is also included to take that weight off your mind.

USA: 45% off at Amazon ~~$1,099~~ $599
UK: 20% off at Garmin ~~£899~~ £699

This isn't the latest model – that's the Quantix 8, which is also on sale at Walmart right now – but it's the highest tier model with the fancy titanium band, and it by far has the best discount.

It's not one that's graced our list of the best cycling watches at full price, but at the moment, it's certainly besting a great many options, not just from Garmin but across the whole smartwatch market.

Everything you need for an active life, but wrapped up in a visual package that wouldn't look out of place at a dinner party. It'll handle basically any sport you can think of, as well as forecast when the best time to go fishing is. Not many smartwatches can do that!View Deal

Well, it's not quite as mind-blowing a deal in the UK, but given we're an island nation I'd wager a lot more UK residents per capita live near the sea so it's still worth highlighting.
View Deal

Why choose this over any other Garmin model?

I love what smartwatches bring to the table, but one thing that I think lets them down, especially in the mid-range, is that they aren't very smart. I don't mean in terms of tech, because they're definitely smart in the digital sense, but I mean smart in the visual sense. They look too 'Tactical Terry' for my liking in many cases, and I want a watch to look like a watch.

When you aren't charting the high seas, or running, or climbing, or even (dare I say it) cycling with this on your wrist, it looks like a relatively normal watch at a glance, and that's important.

It's also now cheaper than the Fenix 8, which itself is at a lowest-ever price right now, by $150, despite starting from an SRP that $100 more than the Fenix 8. Basically, you're getting more watch for less money.

If you want to save even more then the Epix Pro is an eye-watering 59% off, and even cheaper than the Quantix, but you don't get that metal band or solar charging. Or the fish forecast.

The gold standard in road bike tyres has almost $30 off this Black Friday weekend – grab your Tour de France stage-winning rubber at a bargain price

paul.brett@futurenet.com (Paul Brett) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 14:33:30 +0000

The Cyclingnews tech team has tested nearly every road bike tyre available, and Continental GP5000S TR is our overall choice as the best road bike tyre. Our industry-leading testing at the Silverstone pedalling efficiency lab proved that the Continental GP5000S TR consistently outperformed its road tyre rivals and established itself as the gold standard in road bike tyres.

Black Friday is technically over, but the Black Friday Weekend sales are in full swing, and as we roll into Cyber Monday, I've spotted a massive discount on the GP5000S TR at Competitive Cyclist. Right now, you can get this Tour de France stage-winning rubber for just $87.16, a massive 24% off the MSRP of $114.95.

It's one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on these, and if you want to see for yourself why this tyre is so popular, and has been the choice of the all-conquering Tadej Pogačar, then there is no better time to grab a pair.

Below, I've added the US Competitive Cyclist deal, and also a UK deal at Merlin Cycles with a massive 42% off. And, if you really, really want to ride the same rubber as Pogačar, then his limited edition Continental Archetype tyre is discounted to $91.96 on Amazon, a small 20% discount on the usual $115, but still worthy of a mention.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deals, you can do that here:

The GP5000S TR is our choice as the best all-round road tyre. It's fast, grippy, and long-lasting, and easily delivers all you'd ever want for a road bike tyre. The only downside is that they can be a little hard to mount, so make sure you have some decent tyre levers (check out the deal below for that). Competitive Cyclist has sizes 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm, but only in the Black walled variant.View Deal

This is one of the best prices I've seen on the GP5000S TR this year. It's only in the Black wall version, but in all the sizes from 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, and 32mm. The features include BlackChili Compound, which is designed to give an even faster, safer ride, and Continental's Active Comfort Technology to absorb vibrations and deliver a smoother ride. If it's good enough for Pogačar at this Black Friday price, if you've never tried it, then now's the time...View Deal

Continental says the Grand Prix 5000S TR sets the standard in road tubeless-ready tyre technology. The brand also claims it's the lightest, fastest version to date and comes with increased puncture protection. The carcass of the Grand Prix 5000S TR features a robust construction that is designed to be impervious to damage and penetration from foreign objects.

The German tyre manufacturer also adds that it makes the GP5000S TR tyre a versatile offering; its BlackChili Compound is aimed to deliver the best balance of grip and rolling resistance in a road cycling tyre.

Our Cyclingnews Labs series testing of the best road tyres pretty much confirmed all the Continental claims, and we concluded that the Continental GP5000S TR was the all-road tyre that performed the best over various speeds. It might not have been the fastest in the tests – that went to the Vittoria Corsa Pro Speed. However, the performance of the Continental meant we were confident in labelling it as the best all-around race tyre.

There's also the small matter of the pro stamp of approval, and GP5000S TR has the joint title for the most stage wins in the Tour de France, used by more teams in the race than any other.

If you need a tyre lever to mount the GP5000s TRs, which can occasionally be tricky, then the Monkey Tyre Lever by Tru-Tension is the weapon of choice for me. It makes removing and fitting the tightest of tyres a breeze, and with its innovative design, there's no more spoke vs knuckles to worry about.View Deal

Set your bike up for winter riding with this discount of up to 34% on the Continental GP5000 AS TR tyre

Paul Norman — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:10:25 +0000

The Continental AS TR is the brand's latest all-season road bike tyre, designed to replace the veteran Grand Prix 4Season as its hardest-wearing tyre in its line-up. This Black Friday deal is well-timed if you're planning on winterising your road bike for the colder months ahead

Continental has ported over the tech from its GP5000 S TR summer tyre, so the AS TR is tubeless-ready and can be used on hookless rims. It's built for wet-weather riding with a four-ply casing and Continental's Vectran breaker to help reduce the risk of punctures on debris-strewn winter roads, while the BlackChilli II compound is tuned for wet-weather grip. The black option also comes with black reflective sidewalls, which shine up in headlights in the dark, for extra visibility.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deal, you can do that here:

US - Save 20% off at Jenson USA: ~~$115.95~~ $92.76
UK - Up to 34% off at Sigma Sports: ~~£89.00~~ £58.99

In the UK, there's a discount of up to 34% across the available size range: 25mm, 28mm, 32mm and 35mm, so there's a width to suit pretty much any road bike.

If you're shopping in the States, Jenson USA has a 20% discount on all sizes of GP5000 AS TR too.

The Continental AS TR tyre rolls almost as fast as the summer GP5000, but it sports a fortified sidewall and tyre compound designed for grip in wet conditions.

Available in 25mm, 28mm, 32mm and 35mm widths at Sigma Sports with black reflex sidewalls.View Deal

The Continental AS TR tyre is designed for winter riding, with a fortified sidewall and tyre compound designed for grip in wet conditions.

Available in 25mm, 28mm, 32mm and 35mm widths at Sigma Sports with black reflex sidewalls.View Deal

There is also a Black Friday discount on the cream sidewall version, although we reckon that black sidewalls are a better choice for winter riding, as the lighter sidewalls have the potential to start looking dirty quickly. The reflective strip is absent from the cream sidewalls too, so you have lower road presence in low light.

In our review, we rated the GP5000 AS TR one of the best winter road bike tyres we've tested, highlighting its low rolling resistance, which was better than some summer road bike tyres when we tested its rolling resistance at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub.

Still on sale! The amazing Zwift deal, which took the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 to a lowest-ever price, is still available on Cyber Monday

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 05:00:00 +0000

Black Friday 2025 is officially over, and we are now comfortably into Cyber Monday. However, we're happy to report that the Zwift deals are still alive and kicking.

One of the offers is a Wahoo Kickr Core 2 smart indoor bike trainer deal, complete with Zwift's Click and Cog system that broadens bike compatibility and adds silent virtual shifting to your indoor setup. The trainer is now available at the same discounted price with a preinstalled 11-speed cassette if you prefer.

The deal dropped the already-budget-friendly smart trainer down to a lowest-ever price, with a discount of 27% in the USA, a matching 27% off in Europe, and a still-impressive 20% off in the UK. It also includes two months of Zwift for new users.

As I suspected, it's been our most viewed single-deal story this Black Friday, sneaking in just behind our roundup of the best Cyber Monday bike deals.

According to our sources inside Zwift, the Black Friday price will remain available for the rest of Cyber Monday, but only as long as stocks last.

We believe the deals will conclude tonight at midnight for EU CET, US EST and GB GMT timezones respectively, so there's still plenty of time to get involved.

It won't get any cheaper than this either, so if you're planning to buy but currently holding out in hope, we strongly recommend you take advantage now, before the deals disappear.

You can head straight to the deals now:

🇺🇸 USA: 27% off - ~~$549.99~~ $399.99
🇬🇧 UK: 20% off - ~~£499.99~~ £399.99
🇪🇺 EU: 27% off - ~~€549.99~~ €399.99

The Kickr Core 2 was only launched in September, and it comes with a nice list of updates compared to its seven-year-old predecessor (which is still available, but no cheaper than this, before you scurry off looking).

Those included integrated WiFi for a more seamless connection, redesigned legs for better stability, a choice of cassette, and 'Race Mode' for faster data transfer for those crucial moments where it matters.

This particular deal gives you the Zwift Cog and Zwift Click devices, too. The Cog replaces your cassette, making the smart trainer compatible with almost all bikes, while the Click acts as a virtual shifter, adding resistance in-game to silently and immediately mimic shifting, no matter what bike you're riding.

In detail: Zwift Cyber Monday deals on Wahoo Kickr Core 2

Lowest ever price

According to our sources at Zwift, this is the biggest discount they've ever given this product, and I have to concur; I've certainly never seen it this cheap.

There are no coupons, promo codes or special links; just head to Zwift, and you should see the discount auto appear. View Deal

The Kickr Core 2 is now on sale at its lowest ever price, with the cassette version now too. The trainer is available until midnight tonight (EST time zone) with a preinstalled 11-speed 11-28 cassette, if this is your preference.View Deal

Back to its best

For our UK readers, the discount isn't quite as big, but it's still a best-ever price, matching the exclusive discount Cyclingnews (and our sister site Cycling Weekly) secured for readers back at the start of the month.

Some of you had difficulty getting that deal to load correctly, though, so this is your chance to try again. Thankfully, there's no special code or exclusive link this time, just head to Zwift, and it should be there. View Deal

If you just prefer a regular cassette for training, the Kickr Core 2 is now on sale with a preinstalled 11-speed 11-29 cassette. This is the same price as the Click & Cog version above. The deal is available until midnight tonight (CET)View Deal

Lowest ever price

And to round off the trio, readers in Europe can find a deal that matches the USA discount above. View Deal

This is the exact same unit as the one above, just for our European readers. This deal will end at midnight tonight (CET). So if you are considering purchasing, you still have time to invest.View Deal

Should you buy the Wahoo Kickr Core 2?

If you're looking to buy a smart indoor trainer for the winter(s) ahead, and you want something that's at the lower end of the pricing spectrum but with known reliability, easy to set up, and with WiFi connectivity, the Kickr Core 2 is absolutely worth considering.

There aren't many smart trainers priced less than this right now. In the UK, there's a deal on the Saris H3 at Tredz that's worth checking out while stocks last, but with the caveat that it's around six years old itself, misses out on the WiFi connectivity, and doesn't come with a cassette or Zwift Cog.

What's more, Wahoo is famous for its long-term software support, meaning the Kickr Core 2 will receive updates for many years to come and should last more than just a couple of winters; I know riders still using the first-gen Kickr Core they bought in 2018.

In our recent review of the Kickr Core 2, which, bear in mind, was considering the unit at full price, we described it as a "no-brainer," adding that it represents a viable option for "new adopters of indoor training or current users looking to upgrade from wheel-on trainers to direct-drive functionality."

We can only echo those thoughts and add to their sentiment at this new lower price.

Hunt Wheels Black Friday Sale has just got even better with an extra 10% off across all sale items – upgrade your wheels today, and save up to $1,499

paul.brett@futurenet.com (Paul Brett) — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 22:31:49 +0000

Hunt Wheels launched its Black Friday Sale a few weeks ago. To mark the start of the actual Black Friday shopping weekend, the renowned UK wheel brand has added an extra 10% off on top of its already outstanding Black Friday wheel deals.

These updated Black Friday discounts apply across the majority of the Hunt range, including the Hunt Sub 50 Limitless Carbon, one of the best road bike wheels, discounted by a bonkers $1,499.50, down from $2,999 to just $1,499.50.

If the best gravel wheelsets are on your Black Friday radar, then the Hunt 40 Limitless Gravel Aero UD Carbon Spoke wheels, which have a $694.30 reduction, down from $2,479 to $1,784.70.

Below, I've selected a few of the best standout Black Friday Hunt deals, and with some marked up as very limited stock, and others already showing as sold out, we'd suggest that if you have eyes on a particular wheelset, you pull the trigger fast. The extra 10% discount is added automatically at checkout, but if not, the code: FASTER10 will apply the discount too.

If you'd prefer to head straight to the deals, you can do that here:

USA: Shop the Hunt Wheels Black Friday Sale
UK: Save up to 50% off at Hunt Wheels this Black Friday

The Hunt 54 Aerodynamicist wheels benefit from Hunt's wind tunnel testing and deliver tangible aero gains, while remaining light enough to tackle the biggest climbs and stable enough to manage the dreaded crosswinds. The extra 10% is automatically applied at checkout, and takes this Hunt deal to an incredible 50% off.View Deal

Hunt says the 62 Carbon Aerodynamicist Wheelset is the fastest rim-brake wheels they've ever made. Featuring the 'Aerodynamicist' profiles used on the Limitless range, these wheels come with CeramicSpeed bearings, elliptical wing spokes, and are engineered and wind tunnel tested by Hunt's own in-house engineering team.View Deal

Hunt designed the 40 Limitless Gravel Aero UD Carbon Spoke wheels to be the fastest and most versatile gravel race wheelset. Hunt says the 40 Limitless are lightweight, responsive and offer stability even in the strongest of crosswinds. The extra-wide rim beads prevent race-ending pinch flats, and they are aerodynamically optimized for 40 and 45mm gravel tyres.View Deal

The Hunt 4 Season All-Road Disc are designed as a versatile wheelset ready for road, gravel and anything in between. Featuring Hunt's latest H_Ratchet SGL hub, an increased spoke count and oversized, double-sealed cartridge bearings, these wheels will have you covered for your most adventurous rides, no matter the weather. The wider rim profile also accommodates modern road and gravel tyres ranging from 25mm all the way up to 50mm.View Deal

Only available with the purchase of a wheelset, there is a noteworthy discount to be had on one of the best road tyres – the Schwalbe Pro One. They come fitted to your new wheels, and Hunt supplies valves and sealant too. So it removes the chore of fitting tyres, and you can get out riding straight away. Only available in 25mm or 28mm sizing.View Deal

An added incentive is the Hunt 60-Day Ride & Return policy – so you have plenty of riding time to try and test a wheelset, then keep it or return it for a full refund (or product swap).

Hunt also offers a three-year warranty, 'H_Care' lifetime replacement on all its carbon wheels (purchased for $99), and next-day US and UK shipping.

These are just a small selection of what Hunt has on sale for Black Friday, and deals are available on both Hunt US and Hunt UK, with varying stock availability depending on your territory.

Our Black Friday bike deals hub is also the place to check out all the best cycling deals over the big shopping weekend, and we'll be updating this regularly as the deals land.

The mighty Exposure MaXx-D is a cheat code for night time gravel riding, but here’s what I’d buy in the Black Friday sales instead

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 17:12:21 +0000

After work, test rides don’t stop here at Cyclingnews just because it’s dark (and cold… and wet). I’ve been testing out the latest Specialized Diverge in the dark, and while I’ve been crashing about in the woods, I’ve been illuminating my way with the ludicrously bright Exposure MaXx-D as part of my testing for my guide to the best bike lights.

It’s truly transformative, with its maximum brightness of 6,000 lumens and ability to automatically increase brightness the faster you ride. It’s allowed me to hit trails at the same speed as I would in broad daylight, and it has a battery life more than enough to cope with extended periods in pitch black… but for gravel, I don’t think you should necessarily buy one. It is amazing, but it’s frankly overkill.

For MTB duties, where the jeopardy is higher and the risk of a surprise tree is higher, I can see the appeal, but on gravel tracks in the forest, you don’t need one that bright. I do, however, understand the appeal of just getting the product with the biggest number. People buy diving watches that can cope with deep-sea conditions only to wear them in the shower, and I have previously purchased a sleeping bag capable of keeping me alive in the Arctic, only to use it (uncomfortably) in the mild British Autumn.

Happily, I can point you towards what you should actually buy amongst the sea of Black Friday Bike Deals, rather than just being a naysayer. Exposure lights are rarely on sale, but this year there are a couple of really fantastic options that I’ve been using alongside the MaXx-D; those being the dazzling Toro, and the slightly more pared-back Race model. The former is a little larger and a little brighter; if you are dodging trees and doing more technical riding, I’d go here, but most of you will probably be just fine with the Race.

Three giant LED bulbs, a 36-hour battery life, auto-brightening the faster you go, powerbank capability, a whopping 3,850 lumens, and a build quality that'll survive a nuclear apocalypse. The Toro MK16 is as bright as you'd ever need for fast, technical gravel riding at night. It's still expensive, but Exposure lights rarely go on sale, so it's really the best time to grab one. View Deal

The Race is very similar to the Toro, but smaller. It has 2 LED bulbs instead of 3, and a max brightness of 2,650 lumens, but it still boasts all the same features as its larger sibling and the same battery life. If your nighttime gravel doesn't involve much singletrack, then this is the one to go for in my opinion. View Deal

Sadly, I've not been able to find a comparable deal Stateside. Competitive Cyclist does stock Exposure lights, though, just not these models. You still might find a good one though.

Why are these so good then, and probably more pertinently, what sets them apart from less expensive lights?

Let’s start with the build quality. Exposure lights are legendary in this regard. They’re as close to unkillable as bike lights can get, with beautifully machined alloy bodies awash with heat-dissipating fins and extremely sturdy (if a little fiddly to install) mounts. I’ve had an aftermarket mount fail on a descent, sending my beloved Exposure Strada tumbling down the tarmac at over 60km/h, and it was still on and running when I grabbed it from the path of an oncoming car. It needed some repairs, using Exposure’s also famously good after-sales repair service, but it didn’t die on me. I’ve also heard tales of people losing theirs on 24-hour MTB races in the wilderness and finding them on the next year’s event, still working perfectly.

Build quality doth butter no parsnips when it comes to actually seeing where you’re going, and both the Toro and Race are more than bright enough for the job at hand. The former pumps out 2,650 lumens, with the latter boasting 3,850, but these peaks are only reached in Reflex mode. With Reflex switched on, the light automatically brightens and dims the intensity of the wide, flood beam depending on your speed. More light when you need it on fast descents, and less on slower climbs, conserving battery in the process and keeping your hands firmly on the bars and not fiddling around for the button. It’s subtle, but effective.

Finally, there’s the battery life. There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to selecting the modes – you have to load in a package of mode options that the light remembers until you change it, then when riding, you can switch between the 2 or 3 modes you’ve loaded. What it means in practice is that on short rides, you can tune the light to maximise your burn time. Brighter on short rides, and extending out to a full 36 hours at the very extreme. And now, for the first time, charged with USB-C, rather than Exposure's proprietary port, meaning you can also use it as a power bank in a pinch.

I used this torque wrench for years as a professional bike mechanic - It just hit its lowest ever price in the Amazon Black Friday sale

thomas.wieckowski@futurenet.com (Tom Wieckowski) — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 16:54:11 +0000

The Black Friday sales are in full swing, folks. There are all kinds of cycling deals out there, and you may well be on the lookout for others. I'm personally hoping to spot a genuine deal on a bean-to-cup coffee machine.

The Cyclingnews tech team are on the hunt for deals. Stay on top of things with our Black Friday bike deals live page, and our Black Friday bike deals hub.

I like to scout out potential tool deals during sales; I worked as a mechanic for several years, and take a healthy interest in bike and hand tools in general.

I've spotted an excellent deal on the very popular Park Tool TW-5.2 click-style torque wrench on Amazon. Now, this deal is UK-specific, but I've found the best US deal too.

The TW-5.2 currently has a monster 54% off on Amazon UK, meaning you can bag one for £58.38. This is the cheapest the tool has been in over a decade on Amazon and quite possibly ever. It's also being sold by Park Tool's online Amazon store.

In the US, the deal isn't quite as sweet, but I have found a good deal over at Jenson USA on the same unit. If you sign up for Jenson as a member, which is completely free, you can then use the 'INSIDER' discount code, which is advertised on-site. This will let you bag the wrench for $80.76 with 20% off.

A torque wrench is the difference between hoping something's right and knowing it is. This is a great tool to invest in to ensure you're adhering to all manufacturers' torque specs on your bike.

USA: 20% off at JENSON USA ~~$100.95~~ $80.76
UK: 54% off at Amazon ~~£126.99~~ £58.38

A little on the wrench itself: The TW-5.2 is a small, compact 3/8" square drive torque wrench that covers a 2-14Nm range. Perfect for things like bolts on your handlebars and seat post clamp, up to a Shimano Hollowtec 2 crankset pinch bolt at 12-14Nm.

The unit is adjustable in 0.2Nm increments for accuracy and registers torque values for left and right-hand threaded bolts. It's backed up by a 1-year Park Tool warranty and comes with a tough plastic case.

This certainly isn't the only torque wrench on the market, but it's a very popular model with shops and mechanics as well as home users and is just a solid all-around torque wrench. I've used one an awful lot, and it's never put a foot wrong. Just be sure to zero it after use and try not to drop it or use it as a general ratchet tool.

I spoke with a range of manufacturers and brands on the importance of using a torque wrench. Click the link if you want some extra reading.

This tool's big brother, the TW-6.2, features in my best bike torque wrenches buyers guide if you have your eye on a different kind of wrench.

The Park Tool TW-5.2 torque wrench is a solid and popular 3/8" square drive torque wrench that covers a 2-14Nm range, perfect for using to torque off a wide range of fasteners on the bike. It also comes in a nice sturdy Park Tool case to keep it safe and clean. View Deal

You can save 20% on the retail price of this wrench by joining Jenson USA as a member and then using the INSIDER 20% off code to enjoy the listed discount price.

This is the same TW-5.2 torque wrench as the UK offer above. A handy thing to have for a range of jobs. View Deal

The safest road bike helmet in the world just got its price slashed early for Black Friday - Now it’s an absolute bargain

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 11:07:53 +0000

The job of a helmet, first and foremost, is to protect your head. This has been lost somewhat in recent years as everyone realised they have huge impacts on aerodynamics.

The POC Cytal isn’t necessarily very aero, but what it lacks in that department, it makes up for in safety. It is, in fact, the safest road helmet that Virginia Tech – the industry’s leading independent helmet testing institution – has ever tested, receiving a 5-star rating and outperforming the majority of MTB helmets too.

Head straight to the deal: POC Cytal ~~£300~~ £137.99

Or a lesser deal for our US-based readers: POC Cytal $262.95

At a full retail price of just shy of £300 or $350, it’s a helmet that, while safe, is likely out of budget for many of us. I’m happy to report that, while searching for deals with which to fill our Black Friday Bike Deals hub, I found the Cytal knocked down by over 50%, making it not only affordable but an absolute bargain.

Incredibly safe, very well ventilated, comfortable, and quite a good-looking helmet too. It's quite a package, and one that normally commands a much higher price, but at moment it's a steal, and the cheapest we've ever seen it in the UK. View Deal

Sadly the mega discount is UK only, though I have unearthed this very handsome special edition for cheaper than the standard model. Not a sale, per se, but still a good deal. View Deal

With over £150 off the price this is the cheapest we've ever seen the Cytal MIPS. Considering it's one of the newest road helmets in POC's lineup this is a bit of a surprise, but a happy one for sure.

This is me wearing the Cytal in spring. I can confirm the Cytal works great at keeping a cool head when chasing a former World Champion over the cobbled climbs of Flanders. (Image credit: Will Jones)

We can all agree that the Cytal is safe by the numbers, and so probably a likely contender for our guide to the best road bike helmets, but is it actually nice to ride in? Happily, I’ve spent all summer in the non-carbon one, and can confirm it is ace! (The carbon model, strangely, is less safe and more expensive.)

POC helmets, in my experience, tend to be among the most comfortable I’ve come across, and the venting on the Cytal is wonderful for summer riding when the mercury rises. Yes, it’s hard to imagine now there’s a hard frost on everything and my fingers are numb as I type this, but it will be warm again soon. Luckily, POC has also stopped using white straps in favour of black, as the old white straps very quickly turned a kind of grey-brown with sweat and dirt; yuck!

Elsewhere, Black Friday is already upon us, so fantastic cycling deals like this are flooding in thick and fast. We've also found a great deal on Tadej Pogačar's tyres, aloingside an insane deal on the newest-gen Apple Airpods 4. There's also the Garmin Edge 540 at its best-ever price, and over a dozen roundup articles, such as the best Black Friday bike deals, a collection of Specialized deals, indoor cycling-specific Wahoo deals, plus clothing over at the Rapha deals roundup.

All Apple AirPods earbuds hit lowest ever price for Black Friday already, with a significant drop from previous lows

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 16:29:39 +0000

Deals on Apple AirPods have become a staple of our Black Friday Bike Deals hub, and traditionally, the Black Friday period has always been the best time to pick up Apple’s extremely popular headphones. Usually, each Black Friday, we see a big discount on one key model, depending on where Apple is with its product cycles, but this year, all the latest key models of AirPod earbuds (not including the over-ear and much larger AirPods Max, for now at least) are at their lowest ever prices in the USA, as checked by our historic price software.

Starting at the cheaper end and working up, the AirPods 4 are 47% off, down to a staggering $69. This is down from a previous low in recent days of $80, so if you jumped a bit too soon, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Despite being the cheapest of the range, you still get 5 hours of battery life on a single charge, Siri-enabled help, and Apple’s spatial audio with head tracking.

While they may be the baby of the AirPods range, the standard 4 still packs a punch, with enough battery to last, and enough added features to be helpful without bogging you down with too much. Simply put, a great pair of everyday buds. View Deal

Not quite the same level of discount in the UK, but this is still a lowest-ever price, and the first time the AirPods 4 have dipped under £100. View Deal

Next up are the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. Same battery life, same Siri features, added live translation, and here you also get noise cancellation, transparency mode, and conversation detection, so you don’t even need to pause your track if someone starts talking to you. These previously hit a low of around $120 recently, but are now down from their initial $179 to a cool $99.99.

Peace and quiet is to be treasured, so if you want the same features as the standard AirPods but want to block the world out then these are the ones to choose. They've never been this cheap before.View Deal

These have been cheaper in the UK before, to £134.10, so our advice here is if these are the ones you're after then hold out until the Friday at least as they may well come down further. View Deal

Finally, we have the mighty AirPods Pro 3, the flagship model in Apple's earbud range. They’ve been stable at $249 almost exclusively for months, aside from a little dip over Amazon Prime Day in September, but are now as cheap as they’ve ever been at $219.99. Better noise cancellation, swappable bud-ends for a more comfortable fit, all the features of the lower models too and more besides like heart rate monitoring, hearing tests, and 8 hours of battery life.

For now, at least, this is a US-only deal, as the UK version is still full price, but keep an eye on Amazon, as very often, where the USA leads, the UK follows.

All the bells, all the whistles. The AirPods Pro 3 have a long battery, brilliant sound, and smart features like heart rate monitoring to track your workouts without having to strap anything extra to your body. The discount is more modest here, but it's still as cheap as they've ever been. View Deal

Don't buy this crazy £10,000 marble exercise bike just because it's on sale - Buy these instead and you'll still impress Bond villains and the super rich

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 15:13:19 +0000

Picture an exercise bike in your head for me real quick… got an image in your head? Good. Now chuck that image away and instead picture an enormous, 85 kilogram disc of polished marble, with horns, and miraculously a saddle and pedals. Now we’ve reached the very design-forward Ciclotte Exercise Bike, which by some miracle, is discounted down from a heady £14,000 to... uh, a still-unaffordable £10,500.

I’ll be honest with you, despite a saving of £3.5k this isn’t a deal that’s going to sneak into our Black Friday Bike Deals hub, or even our list of the best exercise bikes, but it has got me thinking if you did have 10 grand to drop this Black Friday, where you should splash your cash and still get an aesthetic indoor training setup that doesn’t fall short when actually training.

First up, let's start with the trainer. Looking at our list of the best smart trainers, all of which represent quality options for getting a workout in, the Elite Justo 2 is probably the most aesthetically pleasing option, as well as being our ‘best overall’ for its balance of features and price. It’s also available at Halfords currently for £849, which isn’t listed as a sale, but it is cheaper than I’ve ever seen it before.

What you should buy instead

While not listed as a sale item, I've seen the incredible Justo 2 listed as high as £1,000, so it's definitely a good price for our pick of the best overall indoor trainer on the market. Plus, it doesn't look hideous, unlike many. View Deal

Obviously you need something to sit on the Justo, and in order to stick to the theme, let’s go for a 1st gen Specialized Aethos Comp. The white paint is minimalist and marbled, and to my mind, it’s a much more attractive object than ‘Big Rock Circle’. What’s more, you can use it outside, and it’s at a whopping 40% off.

Actually, regardless of the silly nature of this article, this Aethos deal is truly sensational and well worth a piece on its own.

The Aethos is a gorgeous bike, as well as being wonderful to ride. The fact that you can get a Di2 enabled model for just over £2.5k is an unreal deal, all thanks to the Gen 2 version coming out recently. View Deal

Finally, I tried to find a vibey indoor mat for everything to go on, but they’re either black (yawn) or hideous. The best I could manage was a marble yoga mat to keep things consistent, but you might have to freestyle this one.

Tadej Pogačar’s special Tour de France tyres are now 40% off for Black Friday, making them cheaper than the GP5000

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:43:34 +0000

Having done the annual hunt for Black Friday bike deals for many years now, there’s one thing I always look out for but never seem to find, and that’s a decent discount on the amazing Continental GP5000 S TR tyres. They never seem to be reduced by much, primarily because they’re perennially popular, and various lab tests - our own included - show that they’re basically the fastest road tyre on the market.

The good news, though, is that I’ve managed to unearth a whopping 40% off the Continental Archetype, a tyre derived from the GP5000 and made lighter and faster just for Tadej Pogačar to race on at the Tour de France this year.

Head straight to the deal here: 40% off Continental Archetype 30mm race tyre

The best deal here is reserved for UK readers only, courtesy of Sigma Sports, but we've found a smaller discount of 20% at Amazon for our US-based readers. although Sigma Sports will ship worldwide for an extra cost. They’re only available in a 30mm width, Pogačar's chosen size, but that’s becoming the norm now anyway for road use, especially as we’ve also proved that wider tyres are faster for nearly everyone.

In detail: Continental Archetype Black Friday deal

The fastest non-time trial tyre that Continental makes. Lighter and faster than the amazing GP5000 S TR. but using the same rubber compound and tread. There may be a drop in durability, but for a race-day tyre it's hard to imagine a better option. View Deal

A lesser discount for the USA, but still a decent saving on a really good set of tyres. View Deal

The Archetype is 35g lighter per tyre than the equivalent GP5000, with a more supple casing to reduce the rolling resistance further still. It does however still benefit from Continental’s legendary Black Chilli rubber compound, and uses the same tread pattern on the shoulders to maintain that class-leading cornering that we’ve all grown to love here at Cyclingnews.

If you’re still dead-set on the standard GP5000 I have some good news: for once they’re also on sale with a decent discount of up to 41% off, though only in specific sizes. If you want 30mm, then you’re better off sticking with the Archetype, as long as you can handle the potentially reduced durability. Sadly, for now at least, the deal is much better in the UK than in the US, though you can still pick em up at a knock down stateside.

Cyber Monday Trek bikes deals: Huge savings continue on aero bikes, mountain bikes, Lidl-Trek replica kit and more

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 17:02:01 +0000

The deals on all things cycling continue this Cyber Monday and we've scouted out some great deals on Trek bikes and Trek and Bontrager accessories, clothing and more.

Established in 1976, Trek Bikes is perhaps one of the most well-renowned bike brands in the world, with highly sought-after models on the road, in mountain biking, gravel, commuting and more.

Although catering to all price points, it's often the American brand's premium bikes that cyclists want to buy. Naturally, given their market-leading performance, they command a high price, but that's where the Cyber Monday bike deals come in.

Even now Black Friday has passed, the Cyclingnews team is hard at work, checking the best deals for our readers and updating our deals pages. We've already covered Cyber Monday Specialized deals, a deep dive into the Canyon Cyber Monday sale, as well as roundups focusing on Wahoo, Zwift, Garmin and more.

In detail: Cyber Monday Trek deals

USA deals

Starting with a full suspension mountain bike that can eat up the really rough stuff, in the form of the Fuel EX 9.8 XT. This boasts 150mm travel at the front and 140mm at the back, thanks to Fox's Performance 36 forks and Float X shock. It's specced with Bontrager's own Line Elite 30 carbon wheels and dropper post. It's a serious bit of kit, brought down to a slightly more sensible price, thanks to the Trek Cyber Monday sale. View Deal

Moving onto slightly smoother ground, this Supercaliber SL 9.6 is still full suspension, but with 110mm suspension up front and 80mm via the Sidluxe 'Isostrut' suspension at the rear. There's also a Bontrager Line dropper post, Kovee wheels, and Shimano's Deore 12-speed groupset. It looks like only size XL is now left here.View Deal

Working down in price, this next bike takes us onto the road, in the form of the Madone Gen 8. This is the SL 5 edition, meaning mid-tier carbon that offers the same aerodynamic performance in a slightly heavier, but cheaper package, and a mechanical Shimano 105 groupset. View Deal

Bringing the price down a little further, we get the Emonda ALR 5. For a little under $2k you're getting Trek's 300 series aluminium, a full carbon fork, Shimano's 105 12-speed groupset and Bontrager Paradigm SL wheels. View Deal

Next up, we're heading back off-road to the Marlin platform. These hardtails are popular among amateur mountain bikers, for their stylish looks, impressive spec and excellent prices. There are a few on offer, but I've picked out this, with Rockshox Judy forks, Kovee wheels and SRAM's SX Eagle 12-speed groupset at under $1200.View Deal

And the final bike for those in the USA, the Roscoe big-tire hardtail with 2.6in rubber and an impressive 52% off. This one comes with a TranzX dropper post, Bontrager Line Comp wheels and SRAM's NX Eagle groupset. Only size XS is now left. View Deal

Now moving away from bikes and onto accessories, first up, we've plucked out Trek's Circuit bib shorts, down by $40 in the final XS, L and 2XL sizes. We rate these as good bibs for shorter rides, but would suggest upgrading to more premium options if riding for longer than three hours on a regular basis. View Deal

This 28oz Voda water bottle has over 50% off and will help keep drinks colder for longer thanks to its special insulation. It's also BPA and phthalate-free.View Deal

The Trek XXX road shoes are good quality, comfortable, high-end road shoes. While not the latest model offered by Trek, they were a popular choice by pro riders such as Richie Porte and Mads Pedersen a few years ago. Here they're on offer in the smaller sizes.View Deal

Another one for those with smaller feet, the GR2 Gravel shoes are available with a huge discount. They boast super-grippy lugs across the full sole, mounts for toe spikes, two-bolt cleats, and lace-up closure. There's a scattering of smaller sizes in black and just 36 in gold.View Deal

A super budget-friendly pair of shoes from the off, this pair of Solstice shoes is perfect for anyone looking for a fresh pair of cycling shoes without spending big. At just under $45, you get compatibility with three-bolt cleats (plus two-bolt with available adaptor), velcro closure, a composite nylon sole, and a clever 'powertruss' sole design that boosts stiffness. A decent spread of sizes available too.View Deal

If you'd prefer two-bolt cleat compatibility for a similar price, the Quantum MTB shoes offer a comfortable pair of off-road focused shoes, with a well-lugged sole and velcro closure. Again, most sizes are available.View Deal

If your Shimano pedals are looking or feeling tired, but you can't find a deal to replace them, Bontrager's SPD-compatible Comp pedals are here to save the day, with their aluminum construction and a weight of 300g. View Deal

The Spring Roll is a clever seat pack, with three pockets for your spares and a Boa dial for closure once it's all wrapped up. In my experience, the Boa gets a little stuck after muddy rides, but can be kept running smoothly for years by occasionally clearing it out with some warm water. View Deal

UK deals

This Aeolus RSL saddle in 155mm width has a massive 52% off. This saddle has a large cutout and has a carbon shell and rails. You can also mount a rear light to the saddle using the Trek Blendr accessory mountView Deal

For the UK bike deals, we're starting with a big one. A £4000+ saving is the headline grabber, but at a starting price of £15k, you're still looking at a high outlay. Regardless, you're getting one of the best bikes on the market, with a top-spec carbon frame, SRAM Red AXS groupset, Bontrager Aeolus RSL 51 wheels, and a stunning purple paint job. It looks like only size L is left now. View Deal

With over £1000 off, this Madone comes with the mid-tier SL carbon spec, Shimano's 105 Di2 groupset and carbon fibre wheels. The frame boasts a similar aerodynamic performance to the top-spec model above, but just in a slightly heavier and much cheaper package. View Deal

Similar to the deal above, this SL 5 Madone offers the same frame, but with Shimano's 105 mechanical groupset and Bontrager's Paradigm SL alloy wheels. Available in M or M/L only.View Deal

Balance bikes are a brilliant way to teach little ones how to control a bike before the introduction of pedalling, and this Trek Kickster is a prime example from Trek. At 41% off, it brings it down in line with the popular Strider models, but with the added benefit of a footbed, an under-saddle handle, and of course, a fetching pink colourway. View Deal

If you fancy top-spec shoes without the top-spec price, this Trek deal is the deal for you. The RSL Knit shoes are immensely comfy, cinch up securely and offer a rock-solid platform for power transfer. The black and gold colour might be a bit Sam Sparro for some people, but you can't pretend 56% off isn't a good deal. There's a smaller 35% discount and more sizes for the white and grey version. View Deal

One of the fastest road bike helmets in our wind tunnel helmet test, the Ballista MIPS is an aggressive-looking aero helmet with a long tail and closed-off front. It's raced by Lidl-Trek at the top level of the sport, both men's and women's. View Deal

And the final deal of this roundup: Whether you just want an electric pump for easy inflation at home, or for taking out on a ride instead of a mini pump, the Air Rush is a great option. It's not the quietest, but costs under £60 and has enough juice to replace four CO2 cartridges. View Deal

Still unsure on the best road bike for you?

If you are still trying to find the best road bike or aero road bike for you, Cyclingnews has put together a number of helpful guides so you can make the best decision. There are also guides for budget-friendly aluminium road bikes, the best gravel bikes and if you are looking for some pedalling assistance, our guide on the best electric bikes is here to help.

Who are Trek?

Trek was born in 1976 with the goal of producing high-quality American frames for an American market at a time when the only option for performance bikes was from European manufacturers. It started with five employees building touring frames in a barn and within four years had quickly outgrown the original facility. Trek expanded, building a new headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin where operations are still based today.

I just built myself a winter cycling outfit from the Le Col Black Friday Sale and saved a staggering $463 - here's how you can too

paul.brett@futurenet.com (Paul Brett) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:35:51 +0000

Le Col has launched its Black Friday Sale, offering massive reductions on some of the best cycling apparel on the market. The British cycling brand offers up to 50% off across its site, featuring discounts on the best bib tights, winter cycling jackets, base layers, accessories, and more.

We're in the midst of deep winter riding here in the Northern Hemisphere; it's actually snowing here in Edinburgh today, so I decided to build a top-to-toe winter cycling outfit to see just how much I could save. The result was an incredible saving of $463.80 on the seven items I selected. It included a huge $129.80 discount on the Le Col Pro Bib Tights, which, for me, is an essential item when it comes to winter rides.

With such hefty discounts, the Le Col Black Friday sale is a great opportunity to treat yourself or do some early Christmas shopping for the cyclist in your life. However, it's sure to be popular, so if something catches your eye, I'd suggest snapping it up fast before it's gone. Le Col, as an extra sweetener, offers free US shipping for orders over $170.

The Le Col Pro Aqua Zero is a great choice as one of the best long-sleeved cycling jerseys for winter riding. Featuring a thermal brushed back fabric that insulates the core while a tight-knit construction blocks cold air and wind. There is also a water-repellent coating on the outer means you can push on through showers and road spray. Available in eight colours and sizes from XS to 3XL.View Deal

The best winter bib tights will keep your legs feeling warm and comfortable on the bike if you're cycling in cold and wet winter weather. The Le Col Pro Bib Tights use advanced Polartec and Super Roubaix thermal fabrics designed for cold-weather performance. Warmth, breathability and an overall lightweight are some of the standout features. They are available in Black and sizes XS to 3XL.View Deal

The best cycling gilets are perfect for those early morning starts or for popping on during your ride if things get a bit chilly. The Le Col Sport Logo gilet is a great option to pair up with the Pro Aqua Zero jersey, and features lightweight, windproof fabrics designed to protect your core from the cold. It's also packable with a compact design, meaning you can stash it in a pocket easily. It comes in two colours and sizes XS to 3XL.View Deal

The Le Col Black Friday Sale has a ton of winter riding kit with uo to 50% off. (Image credit: Le Col)

A warming and breathable base layer is a great starting point for anyone's winter cycling wardrobe. The Deep Winter Base Layer ticks all the boxes, and uses a combination of patented Polartec fabrics to deliver what Le Col says is supreme insulation and temperature regulation with high breathability and low fabric weight. It comes in sizes XS to 2XL, only in Black.View Deal

A solid pair of gloves can make all the difference when riding in winter, adding an extra layer of warming protection to hands and wrists. The Pro Lightweight Gloves have a fleece material for thermal insulation and protection from wind and showers, whilst durable yet minimal padding on the palm ensures comfort, grip, and flexibility. They come in four sizes S to XL.View Deal

Even the best cycling shoes will only ever keep your feet warm and dry for so long, and adding a pair of overshoes to your winter cycling kit is highly recommended. The Le Col Winter Overshoes are designed for deep winter riding when the temperature is firmly rooted in single digits and the chances of rain and wind chill are high. Featuring a structured inner fabric to trap in warmth and a water-resistant outer, Le Col says these overshoes will work hard to protect so you can stay focused on your ride.View Deal

It wouldn't be Black Friday deals post with a good cycling socks deal, and these Le Col Tech Wool socks complete this winter cycling outfit. Designed to meet the demands of riding in colder conditions, they feature a high-density merino blend for increased warmth and durability. Available in two colours, sizes either S/M or L/XL.View Deal

The chosen deals are from the Le Col US site, but Le Col UK is also running discounts, and worth checking out if you're UK-based.

If Le Col isn't on your Black Friday radar, then below you'll find a host of other Black Friday deals from big brand tech to cycling shoes, and just about everything in between.

The Cyclingnews Black Friday 2025 hub is also the place to check out all the latest deals as they land, and we'll be updating this on the lead up to and across the entire Black Friday weekend – running from 28th November to 1st December.

The big red American brand needs no introduction. Based in Morgan Hill, California, it consistently releases some of the most desirable bikes, parts and accessories year after year.

It's therefore not surprising that with such high demand, discounts can be rare. Look in the right places, though, and you can sneak some great Cyber Monday bike deals from the Californian brand.

If you want to head straight to the Specialized sale, you can follow that link. Otherwise, keep scrolling to see our handpicked selection of the best deals available right now, both from Specialized's own website and third-party retailers.

We've found deals on everything from the flagship S-Works Tarmac SL8 with SRAM Red, to socks, shoes and more!

Cyber Monday Specialized deals in the USA

The flagship race bike in Specialized's range, the S-Works 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. View Deal

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. View Deal

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. View Deal

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. View Deal

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 $400. View Deal

The original Ares shoe was made for sprinters. It's a comfy shoe with secure fit and extremely good power transfer. There's red, white and black colours on sale, and they all get at least 50% off.View Deal

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. View Deal

The Propero 4 is Specialized's attempt at trickling down the aero performance of the Evade III at a more budget-friendly price. Black, Glacial and Taupe colours get the biggest discount, but other colours are available too.View Deal

With its extended rear coverage and big peak, there's no mistaking the Ambush II as anything but a trail helmet. It offers MIPS SL rotational impact tech, and is compatible with ANGI to phone home in case of an accident. This sage colour, only available in size L, gets the biggest discount but it's not the only one on offer. View Deal

Still my favourite tyres, the Turbo Cotton is fast, grippy, and stylish too! This discount might not be the most progressive, given it's on the 24mm option only, but if I was racing a time trial or criterium on smooth roads, it's still something I'd use!View Deal

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 78% discount, it's hard to ignore. View Deal

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 $30. View Deal

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

Cyber Monday Specialized deals in the UK

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, although it's only available in sizes 52 and 54. View Deal

Tthe 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. View Deal

The flagship Specialized product is 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.View Deal

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.View Deal

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. View Deal

One of my personal favourite road helmets, the Prevail 3 is much more breathable than anything else on the market. It also rated highly on the independent safety tests by Virginia Tech. The grey option gets the biggest discount, but there are discounts on other colours too. View Deal

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, as these knee-high neoprene overshoes are cosy, water-resistant, and durable enough for a bit of off-road use too. View Deal

Who is Specialized?

Specialized started producing bikes in 1981 originally releasing two models, a touring bike called the Sequoia and the Allez road bike; the latter of which still features in Specialized’s range.

What put Specialized on the map was the release of the Specialized Stumpjumper later the same year. The Stumpjumper was the first mass-produced mountain bike frame and became synonymous with the rise of a new cycling discipline. Since then, Specialized has gone on to become one of the largest bike manufacturers and releasing a wide range of bikes, components and accessories covering all cycling disciplines. By developing its own on-site facilities Specialized is one of the forerunners of innovation in road and mountain biking technology.

After-Christmas sales: The best cycling deals for 2025

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 09:21:14 +0000

As each Christmas comes and goes, you can always rely on the After-Christmas sales to follow. With stores looking to clear the last of their inventory ahead of the new year, there's always plenty of discounted cycling gear available.

Whether you've been waiting on a price drop for your next upgrade, you're planning to spend those gift cards you always receive from your distant relatives, or you're determined that 2026 will be the summer you get fit, now is the perfect time to make your purchases, before prices go back up again in the new year.

Looking for UK deals instead? Head over to our UK Boxing Day bike sales roundup.

Our advice, even if there's a great deal on something, is only to buy it if you genuinely need it. There's no worse deal than spending your hard-earned money on something that languishes in a closet or ends up in the trash. The Cyclingnews team often uses the sales to buy those little essentials that we'll always eventually need: tubeless sealant, inner tubes, energy bars, chain lube and so on.

We only buy the big-ticket item if we've had our eyes on it for a while and we know it's something we can afford. If you've been counting on the After-Christmas bike sales for a new bike, the latest GoPro, or a high-end new pair of cycling shoes, then it makes total sense to save some cash while you're at it.

Scroll down and enjoy our roundup of the best deals in the New Year bike sales, but be sure to come back and let us know if we've missed any.

Where to find the best After-Christmas cycling sales

Amazon: A third off Garmin computers and more

Best deals from the New Year bike sales in the USA

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. View Deal

If you head to Unbound Gravel - or any gravel race for that matter - and counted all the bikes on the startline, I reckon the Crux would beat the next most popular by two to one. That might be enough to put some people off, but so many people owning (and loving) a bike is a positive signal in my eyes. Getting this one with $800 off is a good thing too!View Deal

If you like the look of the Edge 1040 Solar, but don't like the price, then this 840 offers basically all the same functionality but in a smaller package. That makes it lighter, with a smaller screen and a slightly smaller battery, but at the benefit of your bank balance.View Deal

Our pick of the best cycling shoes on the market at the moment, the S-Works Torch offer exceptional comfort, a stiff sole, easy Boa dial tightening, and they look great. The best price is only available in a few sizes now, but if you're interested in the best and don't want to pay full price, it's worth checking if these are available in your size. View Deal

Assos is renowned for making exceptional winter gear, and this winter jacket is no exception. It easily sits in our guide to the best winter cycling jackets, and mixes breathability, warmth, and wind resistance very well indeed.View Deal

Nowadays, thieves come prepared with power tools that make light work of most bike locks in just seconds. If you're leaving your bike anywhere for an extended period of time, you should be locking it with something resistant to an angle grinder, and in our experience, this is one of the best out there. The price is still quite high, but the 34% discount will make it a little easier on your bank balance. View Deal

The C5 Infinium Thermo jacket is one of the best winter cycling jackets on the market, according to our expert team of product testers. The high neck is super comfortable, as is the fleecy material on the inner face. Sizes M, L and XL remain in black, or all sizes in the fluo yellow. View Deal

Increase your road presence and keep aware of what's happening behind with Garmin's rearview radar. It will pair with the best cycling computers and Garmin smartwatches to alert you to approaching vehicles and also serve as a taillight. View Deal

You'll be forgiven for not knowing about Capo, but this upstart US brand is growing fast. It's aero socks won our recent wind tunnel shootout, and it now has up to 40% off site-wide, with this aero jersey getting an even bigger 50% discount. View Deal

Want fast roadside inflation without the effort of pumping? Co2 canisters are your cheap option, but need replacing after each inflation. The AS2 Pro is a hugely popular option that offers 60-second reinflation and can be recharged in just 15 minutes. Unlike CO2, it also gives you a specific PSI reading upon reinflation, letting you maintain your dialed-in pressure. View Deal

If you've got an expensive bike or three in the garage, you probably go to bed at night with low-level anxiety about them being stolen while you sleep. There are plenty of things you can do to protect against that, such as buying big locks, ground anchors, guard dogs and high-security doors, but you should also consider Blink's outdoor camera system, which connects via WiFi and catches would-be criminals in the act. View Deal

There are loads of bike light deals around at the moment, but this is the one that gets you the biggest brightness for the best price. View Deal

The Magicshine Seemee is one of our favourite bike lights, and although we've seen it cheaper than this in the past, we'd happily buy it ourselves at this price. The 300-lumen brightness offers excellent visibility, while the red bulb at the base lights up your legs to make you even more visible to other road users. View Deal

Not the most exciting of things to buy for yourself, but if you're more interested in a practical purchase, then a new - or spare - pair of cleats are always handy.View Deal

This $6 Cyber Monday deal saved my knees and will replace your foam roller and your massage gun

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 19:20:02 +0000

I am a fragile man. Emotional instability aside I also have very injury-prone knees, primarily because until I hit 30 my idea of injury prevention was a couple of beers at the pub after a ride to keep me loose.

However, now, if I don't hit the gym once a week and stretch I really notice my patella tendons get sore. Foam rolling at the gym is a must for me but sometimes after heavy blocks of training I need to do some at home too.

The thing is, getting the foam roller out and actually doing it at home is a pain in the ass. It takes up loads of room, and is actually quite a workout in itself to do it properly. I've tried a massage gun, and while they are great for very targeted relief I find they're too precise for more systemic whole leg rolling.

A few years back I was recommended a massage stick by an extremely sporty friend of mine and it's not an exaggeration to say the roller and the gun haven't really had a look in since. You can roll out your sore muscles on the sofa in silence while watching whatever mind-numbing content you choose after a long ride. It's dirt cheap, it's super effective and it's really portable so you're more likely to actually use it. I take mine on press trips to make sure I can ride hard on back to back days, and it comes with me skiing too for the same reason.

There are only a few hours left of Cyber Monday, and while I'd love to instil a sense of urgency into you for commercial reasons at full price they're still peanuts, so don't stress too much about buying one right now if you've got other things on. Just trust me, they're great, you'll see.

For more deals, be sure to check out our Cyber Monday Bike Deals hub. It's got it all, and with a fair wind will have this massage stick in there too.

Massage Stick
USA: ~~$7.99~~ $5.59 at Amazon
UK: £10.99 at Amazon
30% off - This is as close to life-changing as any product under $10 will ever be. More effective than a massage gun in my experience, and far cheaper. Less of a hassle than foam rolling, and more portable too. It's probably the best six bucks you'll spend this year, especially if you're injury-prone. It's not even on sale in the UK, but it's so cheap and so useful I still think you should buy one anyway. View Deal

I've put together the ultimate Cyber Monday gravel bike build including a special edition groupset: Think you can do better?

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 18:05:37 +0000

I think all cyclists have this in common: Daydreaming about the ultimate bike build. It's a great way to wile away a long train journey, and thanks to the Cyber Monday sales it's also a great time to actually put it into practice.

Spurred on by spotting the gorgeous silver edition Shimano GRX groupset on offer for under $1,000 I decided to pull together a bit of a dream build, the constituent parts of which can all be found on sale right now.

For ease, I have kept it to the main headline components: Frameset, groupset, wheels and tyres. I'll leave saddles, pedals, and the cockpit to you... I've gotta leave you some daydreaming room!

For other deals be sure to check out our Cyber Monday Bike Deals hub, where everything decent that's on offer is housed all under one roof. You never know, you might find something for your own build.

Cervélo Aspero Frameset: ~~$2,700~~ $1,700 at Competitive Cyclist
37% off - An older model, but with racy enough intentions that it'll still hang with the best at the pointy end of a fast gravel ride. It's compatible with both 700c and 650b wheels, but my choice is always 700c. Tyre clearance is up to 42c with 700c, and 47c with 650b, which should cover you for all but the gnarliest terrain.

The size range isn't huge, but there are plenty of other frames on offer on Competitive Cyclist right now. View Deal

Limited Edition Silver Shimano GRX 1X 11sp: ~~$1,360~~ $999.99 at Jenson
26% off - This groupset was released in really limited numbers, and it's very rare to see, let alone at a discount. You will absolutely stand out from the crowd, but more than that it's just a great 11sp cable actuated groupset. I've used it on plenty of bikes and it's been more or less faultless. You will need to provide your own disc rotors though.View Deal

Hunt 40 Carbon Gravel Race: ~~$1,399.00~~ $909.35 at Hunt
35% off - I've used the shallower version of these in the past and really liked them. Responsive, stable, but nothing overly strange. A 25mm internal width helps plump gravel tyres up and is modern enough to stay relevant for a while.

Get an additional 10% using code BF-EXTRA10View Deal

Goodyear Connector 40c tyres: ~~$64.00~~ $44.64 at Backcountry
30% off - These are my preferred gravel tyres for mixed conditions. I even told my mate to buy a set a few weeks ago. They sit happily in my guide to the best gravel tyres, and unless you know your riding is always going to be dry or always going to be wet then these are likely a better choice. Fast, sturdy, and surprisingly grippy in the wet.View Deal

10 hand-picked winter cycling kit deals from the Cyber Monday sales to keep you warm on the bike

thomas.wieckowski@futurenet.com (Tom Wieckowski) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:59:01 +0000

It's December which means many of us, myself included, are reaching for the warm winter kit on our rides. Give me blue skies and sunshine any day of the week, but I do love the feeling of pulling on a good quality, effective and warm winter kit that helps me feel ready to face the elements.

It's Cyber Monday today, the culmination of the Black Friday weekend sales event. You can follow the best deals as we find them online on our Cyber Monday bike deals live page, as well as our Cyber Monday bike deals hub for our hand-curated cycling deals.

I've had a look through the online sales events and handpicked some solid deals on good quality winter cycling kit. I've ridden in a lot of this kit myself and if I haven't my Cyclingnews tech team colleagues have. We can promise it does what it says on the tin. Many of the pieces feature in our buyer's guides, a best-of-the-best selection of kit for various purposes.

This selection is split into US and UK deals, as not all of the deals are available in both territories.

Specialized Women's Prime Alpha Jacket: ~~$250~~ $124.99 at Specialized
$125 off - Put simply, this is a fantastic jacket from Specialized. It's lined with Polartec Alpha fleece, has a great cut and will fit into a rear jersey pocket so you can carry it. I love putting mine on, it brings warmth and comfort on cold and cooler days and looks really stylish.

Velotoze Neoprene Waterproof gloves ~~$65~~ $55.20 at Amazon

Endura BaaBaa blend long sleeve base layer: ~~$79.95~~ $55.95 at Competitive Cyclist
30% off - Discounted in two colours and most sizes. The merino wool blend BaaBaa base layer is a really versatile option. It's very soft, comfortable and warm and has a more relaxed T-shirt-like fit. Great under a winter jacket or for relaxing in and wearing post-ride. I like pulling it on after a long, cold winter ride as much as I like riding in it.

Rapha Pro Team Windstopper jersey: ~~£195~~ £132 at Sigma Sports
32% off - One for the racers here, the Pro Team Windstopper is made with Gore-Tex Infinium fabric and has a tight flap-free fit, it's rain-repellant and windproof and is perfect as a jersey or over one with arm warmers for hard riding. Top tip, the pickets are small and tight so this isn't one for packing lots into. View Deal

Rapha Pro Team Lightweight bibtights: ~~£190~~ £128 at Sigma Sports
33% off - I love riding in the Pro Team Lightweight tights. They are very comfortable, thin and light. Plus they look super stylish, especially in navy. I like them for autumn, spring and more intense or milder winter riders.

The women's version also carries the same discount.

Feature in: Best winter bibtightsView Deal

Castelli Perfetto ROS 2 women's jacket: ~~£260~~ £110 at Sigma Sports
Upto 57% off - I rode to work in this jacket this morning in the dark and cold. It's a fantastic piece that will get you through a winter as your main jacket if you need it to, just change your layers underneath. The cut is excellent as is the Gore-Tex Infinium material. Various colours and sizes are discounted but the Melon / Military green colour is cheapest. View Deal

Castelli Unlimited Puffy Gilet: £~~210~~ £149.59 at Sigma Sports
29% off - I've been riding in the Unlimited Puffy Gilet this winter and it's a great piece of kit. It's slightly more relaxed in fit, but just by a touch and uses soft and fleecy Polartec Alpha insulation inside, and outside there's a DWR coating which is effective. Nice for road, gravel, mtb or anything else and it packs down small. There are two roomy pockets at the rear and a generous chest pocket. I particularly like the snug, fleecy neck. View Deal

Cyber Monday is the best time to book a cycling trip to the world's most stunning riding destinations

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 13:46:24 +0000

The Cyclingnews tech team has a lot of collective riding experience across Europe and beyond. We are often at press launches for new bikes, and invariably they are held in prime cycling locations. Even when we aren't actually riding, we're often bothering pros at their winter training camps, and kicking about at the biggest races of the year. In short, we know where is good for riding.

Black Friday in the last few years has grown to encompass the whole weekend (and the rest), and includes Cyber Monday. Now, though, there is also 'Travel Tuesday', where airlines and hotels offer reduced prices at a time of year when people traditionally look to book holidays as the winter gloom sets in.

I'm not going to pick out individual flights for you, because I don't know where you live or what dates you want to go on holiday, but I am going to spend some time for you and highlight some potentially great deals from some airlines to places with really great riding. You'll have to do a bit of the legwork yourself, but you should potentially save a bunch of cash that you can spend on some delicious post-ride cervezas in the sol.

Flight deals

Thanks to Cyber Monday, there are flights to dozens of locations around Europe available at roughly the same cost as a day's worth of city centre parking. It's incredible really, but that's the economy in which we live, and although these prices don't come with much baggage allowance, least of all allowance for a bike, those are flat costs you'll have to add to any flight, so you still stand to save by shopping around.

Head to our guide to the best bike travel cases if you need one of those, and we'll outline the added fee for each of the airlines below.

easyJet

Britain's favourite orange airline has a tonne of deals on right now, ending at 11pm on Monday 2nd December, so not even technically Travel Tuesday. As such, you'll have to be rapid and decisive to make the most of it.

Remember, you'll have to factor in an additional £45 each way to transport your bike.

Tenerife from £14.99 - Historic home of the Sky/Ineos training campo, with epic rides up Mt. Teide, an active volcano
Alicante from £14.99 - This part of Spain is awash with pro teams in December and January. The roads are great and the weather is mild. A must for pro spotting.
Lanzarote from £14.99 - Another great volcanic island but less hilly than Tenerife
Majorca from £14.99 - A textbook cycling destination with famous climbs like Sa Calobra and Puig Major

Ryanair

The name in low cost travel, Ryanair has somehow made some of its normally very cheap flights even cheaper for Cyber Monday. I used to dread flying Ryanair, but having flown on its planes at least 20 times in the last two years alone it's basically the same experience as with Easyjet. Like EasyJet, the Ryanair sale ends today so isn't technically a 'Travel Tuesday' thing.

Ryanair charges an additional £60 each way to transport your bike.

Gran Canaria from £14.99 from Bristol & Luton: Another classic Canary Island destination, with tonnes of routes on and off-road.
Alicante from £14.99 from Bristol & Luton: We can basically guarantee you'll see pro teams riding around here in December and January. Try and hang on their wheels for a bit if you dare.
Tenerife from £14.99 from Bristol & Luton: A volcanic playground tailor made for bicycles. Experience cycling at altitude and feel your lungs burn.
Lanzarote from £14.99 from Stanstead & Luton: One of the less hlly island destinations, ideal if you don't identify yourself as a climber.

Accomadation

It's all good and well flying to a farflung location for £14.99, but what about hotels? Luckily, they too are on offer, with our top picks of the deals listed below.

Up to 35% off at Booking.com: Sale ends 4th December
Over 30% off at Hotels.com: Sale ends 4th December
Over 30% off at Expedia: Sale ends 4th December

The fastest bike helmet on the market is now 40% off

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 12:29:37 +0000

Sometimes while hunting for Cyber Monday deals, we stumble upon something that we've not only tested, but we can back up with hard evidence, and this is one such example.

Back in May, my esteemed colleague Tom and I took all the fastest helmets on the market to the wind tunnel for an empirical day of testing to see which was fastest.

The winner - if you ignore the POC Procen Air, which I've decided is simply a time trial helmet with delusions of grandeur - was the Specialized S-Works Evade 3.

Luckily for you, it's reduced by a massive 40% in the UK at Sigma Sports. For how long we're unsure.

How fast is it? Well, it'll save you nearly four full watts at normal riding speeds - 30 km/h - over the slowest helmet in our test. As well as being fast though it's also pretty airy, as outlined in my Specialized Evade III helmet review, where it received a full 5 stars.

In fact, this is the helmet that I use when I'm racing, no matter if it's hot or cold, wet or dry.

Cyber Monday tech deals for cyclists: Save on GPS computers, smart trainers and power meters

Graham Cottingham — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 16:26:45 +0000

Cyber Monday has traditionally been focused towards online deals and tech and if there is one thing cyclists like it‘s a bit of tech. Whether it’s navigating routes via a GPS computer, measuring performance, or indoor training it's rare to go for a bike ride without some form of electronic device.

These days Black Friday and Cyber Monday have merged into each other, becoming one mega shopping event. That doesn't mean we have seen all that there is to offer with Cyber Monday shuffling the deals up.

If you have had your eye on upgrading your GPS, investing in some new lights or Cyber Monday tech deals then now is a great opportunity to take advantage of the savings before the new year.

I have picked out some of the best tech deals but there are plenty more big savings worth checking out. Head over to our Cyber Monday turbo trainer deals for all the savings on smart trainers or the Cyber Monday bike deals hub for bikes, clothing, accessories and more.

I hate running, but this Cyber Monday Garmin Forerunner deal has been in my basket all day

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 18:37:47 +0000

I am not a runner. I never have been. I have however just started running once a week in an effort to give my body a bit of variety; it turns out only cycling all the time and never really doing anything else at all has some detrimental effects. Once a week I do a 5k, or even a 10k if I really push the boat out, but I am not one to bother the startline of a Park Run, and I am so far from signing up to a marathon that you would not believe it. It's a necessity, not a hobby.

However, as a cyclist, I am used to endless data after my exercise. My bike computer tells me my power, my left/right leg split, my cadence, my heart rate, live segment times, current and average speeds. It even predicts my Vo2 Max. If I wanted to I could have my core body temperature measured, my sweat, or even my coefficient of drag.

Running however has, for me at the moment, nothing. Strava tells me my splits in my ears every half kilometre, but that's it. It's this data discrepancy that's got a Cyber Monday Garmin deal - courtesy of the Forerunner 55 - sitting in my Amazon basket, and my finger hovering over the 'Buy Now' button. To be honest, if I didn't need to buy a new phone having smashed mine a month ago I'd have already clicked.

If you're like me and dabbling in running and want a bit more than the phone can give you, the Forerunner 55 looks to be a great buy. I've checked the historic prices and it's currently cheaper than it has ever been in both the UK and the USA. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of more fancy smartwatches but has all the basics you'd need for a side hobby.

The art of an early night: The performance-boosting technique most cyclists ignore

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 14:52:16 +0000

If you ask any professional athlete how to get faster, chances are they will mention the word recovery.

It's a common misconception among amateur athletes that to improve, you need to train more. It's true up until a point, but it ignores the basic principle of training, which is that you introduce a stress, then allow your body to recover, during which it will adapt and improve its capacity to deal with the same stress next time.

Over time, this stress, recover, adapt, and repeat process is known as progressive overload. We all know the stress part well: If you're a cyclist with any competitive ambitions, you'll have undoubtedly tried to use a training plan, fastidiously following interval sessions that get harder each week and all being well, set you up for success at your target event.

Premium mattress USA: Saatva Classic: ~~$2,095~~ $1,695 at Saatva
Premium mattress UK: Simba Hybrid Ultra: ~~£2,799.00~~ £2,043.27 at Simba
Value mattress USA: DreamCloud Hybrid: $665 at DreamCloud
Value mattress UK: Panda Hybrid Bamboo Pro: ~~£950.00~~ £665.00 at PandaLondon
Whoop 4.0: 13% off at Amazon UK
Whoop 4.0: 17% off at Amazon USA

But if you don't pay attention to the recovery part of that process, it'll more likely lead to burnout. Chronic tiredness, prolonged muscle soreness, irritability, decreased performance, and even insomnia are some of the symptoms, but the end result is probably illness, and definitely an inability to complete the sessions you've set yourself.

A good way to think of it is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom. If you keep on pouring in the stress without letting it empty, your bucket will eventually overflow.

But the secret that professional cyclists know, which most of us amateurs overlook, is that you can find ways to increase the speed at which our bucket empties.

Eating healthily, increasing protein, stretching and staying hydrated are some of the behaviours, but they pale in comparison to the benefits of a good night's sleep.

It's for this reason Team Sky used to bring their own mattresses to the Tour de France. It's also why you'll see the likes of Tadej Pogačar wearing an Ultra Human ring and Mathieu Van der Poel wearing a Whoop strap, both of which are designed to track your sleep and help you take steps to improve your recovery.

"Sleep is a key time when your muscles can repair and regenerate,” Kristen Holmes, Principal Scientist at Whoop told Cyclingnews, and interestingly, she added that “Athletes need to recognise that preparing for sleep begins the moment they wake up.”

There are a few key ways in which you can do this, which we've outlined below.

1. Optimise your environment

The room in which you sleep is an important factor in improving the quality and quantity of sleep. Research has shown that a dark, quiet and cool bedroom is optimal, but you can't understate the value of a good mattress to send you into a slumberous snooze.

Buying a good quality mattress is rarely a cheap expense, even if you do try to reassure yourself by calling it an investment, but by chance, with the Black Friday sales going on right now, there are a few great deals worth considering.

We've plucked the following few from our sister site Tom's Guide, which has an entire team dedicated to sleep. (What a job!)

USA: Saatva Classic mattress: $2,095 now $1,695 at Saatva

According to the Tom's Guide sleep experts, this is the best mattress they've ever tested, giving it the first-ever five star review in their history. They praised its immediate comfort, pressure-relief and the way it dissipates any excess heat.

It's obviously a lot of money for a mattress, but the Black Friday sale has softened that blow a little, bringing it down by $400. View Deal

USA: DreamCloud Hybrid mattress: $665 at DreamCloud

The same team of experts say this mattress punches well above its pricepoint. They reviewed it 4 and a half stars, praising its luxurious feel and saying it's great for back and stomach sleepers. They did say it's a tad firm for light sleepers, but the long trial period and warranty may help to offset the risk if you're unsure. View Deal

UK: Panda Hybrid Bamboo Mattress Pro: ~~£950.00~~ £665.00 at Panda London

Over in the UK, the Panda Hybrid is our colleagues' pick as the best value mattress, giving it 4.5 stars in their review, and praising its performance for hot sleepers. They also liked its eco-friendliness, and talked up its "fantastic spinal alignment, edge support and motion isolation."View Deal

UK: Simba Hybrid Ultra mattress: ~~£2,799.00~~ £2,043.27 at Simba

For a more money-no-object buy, the Simba Hybrid Ultra is the team's pick as the Best Overall in the UK. They really liked its "11 luxurious layers, 8500 springs, and the breathable open-cell foam," and the 25% off helps to soften the blow of the high price a little. View Deal

2. Create a relaxing routine

Holmes stresses that it is important to allocate some time to wind down before you go to bed, recommending that this begins around an hour before you want to sleep. This can include reading a book, taking a warm shower, listening to relaxing music or doing some breathing exercises.

As easy as it can be to wind down in bed with a scroll through social media, this exposure to blue light from your phone's screen can affect your body’s willingness to sleep. It not only increases your alertness, but it suppresses your body's sleep hormone melatonin, essentially tricking your body into thinking it's still day time.

Holmes also adds that working out late at night should be avoided as much as possible as this raises your internal body temperature which can make it harder to fall asleep.

3. Maintain a consistent schedule

Going hand in hand with the routine above, a consistent schedule of sleep and wake times will also help your body understand when it's time to switch off. This can not only speed up the time it takes to nod off, but improve the quality of your sleep when you eventually do too.

The reason for this is it regulates your circadian rhythm, your body's internal 24-hour clock which influences when you feel awake and sleepy. The stronger this rhythm, the bigger the signals it will send to your brain.

Going to bed at roughly the same time each night, waking at the same time each morning, getting early morning sunlight and avoiding late-night stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol are important techniques here.

Whoop 4.0: HRV and sleep tracker
13% off at Amazon UK | 17% off at Amazon USA

The Whoop 4.0 monitors multiple health metrics including heart rate variability, skin temperature and more, but where it adds value in this context is it automatically tracks your sleep and wake times and graphs them out over time to help you see how consistent your sleep-wake schedule is. It's a great tool that works away in the background, providing the data you need to improve your sleep. View Deal

4. Watch what you eat

Eating healthily is not only useful for nourishing your body to maximise recovery, it can also help you sleep better, leading to double the recovery gains.

Holmes recommends avoiding caffeine for at least four hours before bed, but things like nicotine, sugar, and alcohol should also be avoided as you wind down for bed.

Hydration is key too, but limiting too many liquids before bed will help to avoid the dreaded midnight toilet trip. Spicy or fatty foods should also be limited, as they can lead to indigestion and even heartburn, which aren't conducive to a restful night.

Amazon Prime Day: Locks we love from Abus, Hiplok, and Kryptonite at knocked-down prices

Alex Hunt — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 14:55:11 +0000

As Prime Day has drawn to a close, most of the deals featured here have now ended. If you're still in need of a bike lock, don't wait until Black Friday. We have compiled a roundup of the best bike locks on the market, so check that out for help on choosing the right one.

Original story continues below...

Keeping your pride and joy safe and secure is a priority whenever you aren't riding your bike. The unfortunate reality is that bike theft is on the rise and it has never been more important to lock your bike up whether that is in your garage, at a train station or outside your office.

Bike locks are not all made equal however with some locks able to stand up to considerably more punishment than others. In this year's Amazon Prime Day sale a few of our favourite locks from our recent bike lock test are available at up to 60% off.

If you are in the market for a new bike lock then why not make the most of the limited time savings currently on offer? And to aid your browsing we've added some thematic music below too.

ABUS Bordo Granit X Plus 6500/110: ~~$209.99~~ $84.99 at Amazon
Save 60% - In a recent bike lock group test the ABUS Bordo Granit X Plus 6500 came top of the table in the folding lock category. The design is easier to carry and more flexible than a U-lock while still offering a high level of security.View Deal

When we tested the Bordo Granit X Plus 6500 it was awarded the title of best high security folding lock. Coming with a Sold Secure Gold rating and a 15/15 on ABUS' own scale it is a great lock that can fold down to a nice compact footprint.

Weighing in at 1,574 grams it is also a respectable weight for riders that need to carry their lock from place to place. The only fault we could find with the lock is that the keyhole doesn't have a cover leaving this area vulnerable in wet or freezing weather.

Hiplok Gold Wearable Chain Lock: ~~$129.99~~ $110.23 at Amazon
Save 15% - In the same group test as the ABUS Bordo Granit 6500 was the Hiplok Gold, which we awarded top marks in the chain lock category. It comes with a Sold Secure Gold rating and the ability to wear it around your waist without locking it. The functionality of this lock makes it ideal for city riding or commuting. View Deal

Hiplok's unique selling point has always been the ability to wear its chain locks around your waist, removing the struggle of finding an easy way to carry a chain lock whilst you ride. The ability to fit a range of waists from 28'' through to 44'' without needing to physically lock it around your body is a great selling point in our opinion.

The Hiplok Gold as the name suggests receives a Gold rating from Sold Secure and features an 85cm locking circumference. Another neat inclusion is the ability to remove the fabric chain cover for washing, ideal if you do a lot of riding in hot and sweaty weather.

Kryptonite Kryptolok 610 S Folding Bike Lock: ~~$129.95~~ $99.99 at Amazon
Save 23% - Another folding lock that made it into our bike lock round-up was the 610s folding lock from Kryptonite. Although it doesn't offer the same level of protection as the ABUS it does weigh 2 pounds less which could be useful for those with a hilly commute. View Deal

Another folding lock that is at a bargain price right now is the Kryptonite Kryptolok 610 S. Although it does lack the same level of security as the Bordo Granit it is also considerably lighter, making it a great choice for those conscious of weight.

With the locks on offer right now, unless you really cannot justify the added weight it would be smart to purchase the Bordo Granit as it offers a higher level of security and whilst stock lasts at a cheaper price.

Abus Locks Chain 1010: ~~$149.99~~ $129.95 at Amazon
Save 14% - The Abus 1010 is a classic chain lock with a Sold Secure Gold rating. The lock features a 140cm locking length making it a good option for locking multiple bikes with the same lock or for feeding through both the frame and wheels.View Deal

If you are specifically looking for a longer chain lock then the 1010 from ABUS could be the perfect chain lock for you. At 4'6'' (140cm) in length it gives you more space to lock multiple bikes up or lock both your frame and wheels.

The bulk and weight of this lock certainly make it a lock better suited to be used with a car rack or in a garage or shed. Unlike both the folding locks mentioned the 1010 also sports a lock cylinder cover that will prevent debris or water from getting into the locking mechanism which could cause issues.

Prime Day deal takes Wahoo smart trainer to best-ever price, but know this before you buy

Alex Hunt — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 13:40:03 +0000

As Prime Day has drawn to a close, this deal has now ended. To find an alternative, we have compiled a roundup of the best smart trainers on the market, so check that out for help on choosing the right one.

Original story continues below...

It might be the middle of summer right now and the idea of indoor training has resided in the back of your mind however there are some worthwhile deals to be had this Amazon Prime Day.

One of the deals we have found for those looking to refresh their indoor training setups is the Wahoo Kickr Core. This is the brand’s entry-level, direct-drive indoor trainer that sees the rear wheel of your bike replaced by a cassette mounted to the trainer itself.

Wahoo’s Kickr Core has been a firm favourite among indoor riders for several years striking the balance between cost and functionality. As a smart trainer, the Kickr Core can vary the resistance it provides to match the terrain of an indoor training platform such as Zwift of Rouvy. Smart trainers are great for anyone looking to get specific with their indoor training or make indoor cycling more interesting.

Wahoo Kickr Core: ~~£449.99~~ £374 at Amazon UK
Save 17% - Wahoo's Kickr Core is the brand's entry-level smart direct drive indoor trainer. The Kickr Core has a built-in power meter accurate to +/-2% making it a strong choice for those looking to start taking their indoor training or racing more seriously. View Deal

Wahoo Kickr Core: ~~$599~~ $425 at Amazon USA
Save 29% - The same product has recently appeared on Amazon USA, with an even bigger discount than that available in the UK. Compelling, no?View Deal

In detail: Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer

The Kickr Core features a built-in power meter with a claimed accuracy of +/-2% which is typical for a trainer at this price point and for the majority of riders will be accurate enough for training, riding and racing.

If you are looking to use the Kickr Core for virtual riding it is capable of simulating a maximum gradient of 16% and as low as -10%. More premium trainers can simulate up to 24% slopes however unless you are looking to recreate the sensation of riding on the road as accurately as possible it is not something that will hold you back and isn't worth the added cost.

Buying a Wahoo training like the Kickr Core allows you to pair the trainer with Wahoo’s greater indoor training ecosystem. The Kickr Core is compatible with the Wahoo Kickr Climb which replaces the bike's front wheel and actively pitches the bike up or down to match the simulated virtual terrain. It is also compatible with the Wahoo Kickr Headwind a smart fan that can be configured to increase its cooling effect based on heart rate, power output or terrain.

Currently, the Wahoo Kickr Core is part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale for £374 saving 17% from its original £449.99 list price, or a saving of 29% in the USA maming it $425, down from $599. This makes it one of the cheapest direct-drive smart trainers currently available, however before you rush to Amazon with your credit card in hand there are some things to take note of.

Know this before you buy:

Firstly the Prime Day offer is for a Wahoo Kickr Core unit alone, this means that you immediately need to add the price of a cassette onto your total to get it into a usable state. This is a fairly common situation among budget trainers, but if you shop around, you can buy the same trainer with a cassette pre-fitted if you're unsure how to do that or don't have the tools.

The deal price also does not come with any subscriptions to a virtual training provider, if you are a seasoned indoor rider with an existing subscription to Zwift, Trainer Road or another, then this is probably of no concern but if you are just getting started it is another additional cost to bear in mind.

If you head over to Wahoo’s own website you will find the Kickr Core available for the noticeably higher price of £579.99, but it is important to mention that this deal does come with a cassette of your choice and a year's subscription to Zwift. The retail value of the Zwift subscription alone is £179.99 bringing things closer in price to the Amazon sale. Once the cost of a new cassette is factored in with a 12-speed 105 cassette costing around £50 the Prime Day sale might not be the bargain it first seems for everyone.

With the greater savings on offer in the States, it's a more convincing deal to buy it on Amazon currently for $425, as even when you factor in a year of Zwift and a cassette it's probably going to come out cheaper than the Wahoo bundle at $649.99.

Who is this sale good for?

If you are an established indoor rider and you have an ongoing subscription to a virtual training platform, then the Prime Day deal could represent a significant saving for you. If you don’t anticipate using the Zwfit subscription then you can save a notable amount over Wahoo’s bundle pricing.

For the unit on its own, Amazon is selling the Kickr Core cheaper than anyone else right now with all other online retailers sitting firm on the £449.99 price point.

Who should avoid this sale?

If you are new to indoor training and need more than just a smart trainer then this sale might not be for you. The package offered by Wahoo is not time-sensitive and ships with everything you need to get started for your first year of indoor training. There is also the added bonus that at the end of the year’s free subscription you can purchase the following year’s for £130 saving a further £40.

If you see Zwift as your host platform of choice then the Prime Day sale might be one best avoided.

One year on from the PFC ban, the last of the Shakedry jackets are on sale

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 18:09:44 +0000

More or less exactly a year ago we got wind that Shakedry, perhaps the greatest cycling waterproof tech to ever grace the earth, is set to be retired by Gore thanks to the impending ban on the use of PFC. The PFC ban turned out to be our biggest story of the year, so clearly plenty of you are interested not only in why more or less all waterproof membrane technology is going to have to change, but also what's going to happen to all the incredible Shakedry jackets on the market.

Well, they are about as close to a critically endangered species as we're going to get in the world of cycling. There are very very few still on sale, and those that are, are all old stock. There will be no restocks, there will be no new models; this is it. This is why they no longer feature in my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets.

If you've not come across Shakedry before, the thing that really sets it apart is the lack of a face fabric. It's literally just a waterproof membrane, with a backing fabric inside. It looks and feels a bit like a bin bag, and water just beads off it in perpetuity. It also makes it superlight, and really easy to stow away. All in all, perfect for an application like cycling.

I am lucky enough to have two Shakedry jackets, and they are firmly locked away in a box marked "For Best", much like a waterproof jacket version of Niels Albert's secret tyre bunker where he keeps vintage Michelin Mud tyres.

The good news, if you ignore the PFC issue, is that some of the very last Shakedry jackets are on sale. Given they've already been produced, and will otherwise go to waste, I don't think you need to feel bad for the planet should you purchase one - the important thing in the big scale is that the use of so-called 'forever chemicals' is being scaled back. Regardless, the remaining jackets represent, for now at least, the absolute pinnacle of waterproof and breathable jackets for high intensity riding.

The last Shakedry jackets

Gore Race Shakedry Jacket
USA: ~~$370~~ $279.98 at Competitive Cyclist

24% off - Similar to the 1985 above, but with harder wearing stretch panels on the cuffs and rear hem as well as the shoulder blades to allow maximum freedom of movement. There's also a handy rear pocket, so you don't have to fish into your jersey pockets. View Deal

Gore Race Shakedry Jacket
USA: ~~$300~~ $225 at Backcountry

25% off - Identical to the 1985 Jacket that's available in the UK, except here it's got high vis panels on the tail and cuffs, and it's only available in the smallest size. The cut isn't so racy as the 'Race' jacket above, but it's also not a casual cut either.View Deal

Gorewear C5 1985 Jacket
UK: £299 at Sigma Sports

~~20% off~~ - Sad times everyone, this is back to full price!

I'm not entirely sure why this is called the 1985 Jacket. In any case, in the UK at least, this is the last of what I'd call the 'normal' Shakedry jackets, by which I mean uninsulated shells. The Rapha Insulated Shakedry is still available, but that's a very different beast.

Here you'll get a jacket that'll easily fit into a jersey pocket, stay breathable even when you're giving it the beans, and be absolutely impervious to water. The clue is in the name; you can simply shake it dry.View Deal

Rapha Pro Team Insulated Shakedry
UK: ~~£360~~ £270 at Rapha

25% off - If you want a jacket for extreme weather then this is it. I don't meen 'very wet' here, I mean torrential, biblical rain, and cold temperatures. This is only available in the smallest two sizes, but with 25% off everything in the Rapha sale you get a full $90 off.

The jacket has an inbuilt waterproof hood with a high face box to keep your nose and mouth warm, but the real trick is that the inside is insulated with high-loft Polartec Alpha fleece.

It is, to be quite frank, overkill for 99% of riding. I have one, and I'm yet to really find conditions bad enough for it to come into its own. One day though... one day.View Deal

If you're quick you can get the best cycling backpack on the market at a whopping discount

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 18:02:30 +0000

I am lucky enough to not have to rely on a car to get around. I travel by bike, or on foot... or I get my girlfriend to drive in her car, but let's not dwell on that bit too much. This means I spend a lot of time using various cycling backpacks, and have put together a comprehensive group test of the best cycling backpacks on the market.

My favourite of the bunch, the Chrome Barrage, is also on sale, but you need to know where to look as it's only on offer in one colour - Fortunately this is black, so goes with everything.

UK: ~~£170~~ £98 at Chrome Industries
USA: ~~$165~~ $95.99 at Chrome Industries

Why is this particular bag so good? Well it's made extremely well - all Chrome products in my experience are extremely durable. I've had one of its messenger bags for closing in on ten years now and it's still golden, which is why it gets a shout out in my "buy it for life cycling tech" article.

It's also just about the right size for most airlines' hand luggage, so it can come with me on press trips and holidays. Its real trick though is the exterior cargo net, which can expand to accommodate more or less anything. Within it I've carried wheels, a Japanese peace lily, 10 kilograms of pasta, my helmet and cycling shoes, a further ten kilograms of pasta, and another backpack. Basically, if you can imagine it, it'll probably fit in there.

Chrome Barrage Backpack
UK: ~~£170~~ £98 at Chrome
USA: ~~$165~~ $95.99 at Chrome

Well made, impervious to water, cool looking, and extremely utilitarian. It'll last you for years, and you can fit more or less anything into the cargo net. If I had to use only one backpack from here on in, it would be this one.View Deal

Buy it for life cycling tech - The antidote to Black Friday

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 12:34:05 +0000

You know how your grandparents would always say “things were made to last in my day!”? Well, with planned obsolescence baked into the world of electronic goods they certainly were right when it comes to phones, fridges, and cars. Bike tech doesn't necessarily suffer from the same problems that cause your phone to die right after the warranty expires, but there is certainly an element of throwaway culture in the industry. Having the latest tech every year necessitates getting rid of the old tech, and while you can sell it to reduce the amount of waste, you are still consuming resources and spending money.

What if there was another way? There is a large community around the concept of Buy It For Life, where followers try to consciously consume things that will last, if not a full lifetime, at least significantly longer than the competition. The list below is what we here at Cyclingnews could reasonably constitute Buy It For Life cycling tech.

Naturally, some products are high-end, such is often the nature of quality construction, and we recognise to be able to afford such things is a privilege not afforded to everyone, so we’re not going to preach the old “buy cheap, buy twice” adage given we're in a cost of living crisis. That being said there are also plenty of options that are cheaper or an equivalent price to the competition.

As much as being a valuable resource, it's also intended as something of a counterpoint to the frenzy around buying presents at this time of the year, and all the associated Christmas gifts that come with it.

Without further ado, then, what are the items that we here at Cyclingnews would recommend if you want to invest in something once and once only?

(Image credit: Will Jones)

A steel frame with downtube shifter bosses

Aficionados of steel bikes will claim a special ride quality, though this is as much down to design, and alloy and butting profiles as much as anything intrinsic to the material itself. Irrespective of any #Steelisreal claims, it does have a longevity that can only really be bettered by titanium. Aluminium and carbon both reach an end point in their service life. Why, then, would we recommend a steel frame which will rust over a titanium one that won't? Firstly it comes down to cost; steel will be significantly cheaper than a titanium equivalent, and providing you look after the frame the steel bike will easily last a lifetime. Steel bikes can also be fitted (either stock or brazed on later) with downtube shifter bosses.

These bosses don’t necessarily need to be used and can be utilised as cable guides if you decide to use shifters at the bars, but it allows the use should you require of an absolutely failsafe shifting system which will run happily for decades. Finally, although titanium can be repaired, it is significantly more difficult and there is a smaller network of competent frame builders. Steel on the other hand can be fixed easily, with whole tubes able to be replaced in the event of a crash, keeping your investment going even after the worst has happened.

The frameset pictured is my own, that I made for myself. I use it for everything from multi-day bike tours through to nipping to the shops to grab a pizza because it's the most reliable bike in the garage. You don't need full custom though, you can easily find a second-hand one or most options from Surly would be a great jumping-off point.

(Image credit: Will Jones)

Friction shifters

Following on from the above, friction shifters provide an absolutely failsafe system for actuating your gears. There is no indexing to worry about, no shifter internals to wear out or break, just a simple lever that bolts onto your frame, bar end, or anywhere else you can fit a mount for it.

There’s a reason you see so many students riding bikes with downtube shifters; they’re nearly impossible to break, no matter how much the bike is neglected. They are also generally extremely cheap, and compatible with anything from two to twelve-speed, though they generally work best for nine-speed and below. There’s an art to the shifting for sure, but you’ll have a lifetime to master it.

(Image credit: Will Jones)

A Kryptonite D-Lock

All the marketing around Kryptonite locks is very New York. Tough, gritty, urban environments beset with bike thieves who’ll stop at nothing to steal your pride and joy. While I am unaware of how many thieves my own Kryptonite lock has deterred it has been a constant companion for my commutes and city riding for longer than I care to remember, and is only showing cosmetic wear; the lock mechanism is still buttery smooth. It's no great surprise that Kryptonite locks feature in our list of the best bike locks.

While not a D-lock, I did also use a Kryptonite chain lock at university, the same one as in our list of the best bike chain locks, leaving it on campus permanently for a whole year exposed to the elements and, with only the occasional squirt of GT85, it was no worse for wear for it.

Even the best locks are unable to protect your bike completely, but at least with one of these, you’ll only have to replace it if some unscrupulous person manages to hack their way through it rather than when it wears out or jams, at which point it will probably be a secondary worry to the loss of your bike.

Brooks leather saddle and tape

Before people started referring to them as ‘leather saddles’ they were simply ‘saddles’, and saddles of the Brooks style adorned the majority of bikes from Tour de France racers to classic British three-speed commuter machines. Brooks is certainly the biggest name in leather saddles nowadays, and while with enough use you will eventually break it in beyond any more reasonable use, they will also endure many years of hard use and only ever get more comfortable as the leather slowly forms to the contours of your rear end. It’s not uncommon to see decades-old models still going strong with a heavy sag. There is a weight penalty, and while its leather models don’t currently feature on our list of the best road bike saddles or the best gravel bike saddles they are still exceptional performers in the right context, and if comfort is your key consideration, just bear in mind they do require re-tensioning periodically (a five minute easy job).

You do lose some cushioning by using leather tape, but you won't need to replace it nearly so often (Image credit: Will Jones)

Where leather can also really shine is in the world of bar tape. Even the most resistant black synthetic tape begins to look tatty after a season and loses its properties, whereas leather tape will last for years and look better with age too as it takes on a unique patina. It is not vegan, though vegan leather options are available, making the switch could save you the cost of at least five rolls of standard tape, along with the waste that would entail.

Still not convinced? Brooks offers a 10-year guarantee on all its leather saddles.

Carradice saddlebags

Another British classic, and staple of the lightweight cycle tourist. Carradice saddlebags are still made in Nelson, near Manchester, and its canvas models are near-indestructible. The classic range, with bucolic names like ‘Barley’ and ‘Nelson’, are constructed from cotton duck, a hardy waxed canvas that, on contact with water, swells up and seals any holes in the structure, rendering it extremely waterproof. I own four Carradice bags and have used them in some really atrocious conditions and they have kept my belongings bone dry.

In my eyes the Carradice style saddlebag is the ideal bikepacking luggage (Image credit: Will Jones)

What’s more, being canvas the bags are easily reparable with a needle and thread, can have patches added, and can be easily re-waxed should they lose their lustre. They work best with saddles with loops such as those from Brooks but can be mounted on handlebars too, or aftermarket loops and specific mounting systems can be found. The two bags I use for bikepacking, a Nelson and Camper, were both bought second-hand online, rewaxed at home and are good as new despite being many years old already.

While this is billed as the antidote to Black Friday, it would be remiss of us not to point out that Carradice does have 20% off site-wide for Black Friday.

Sunrace shifters

If friction shifting is a step too far then these levers from Sunrace could well be a happy middle-ground for you. They come in indexed and micro-ratchet varieties (for the rear and front derailleurs respectively) and their extremely simple construction, almost entirely from aluminium, means they’ll keep shifting happily for ride after ride.

I use a nine-speed one as a thumb shifter on my mountain bike and a micro-ratchet in bar-end guise to actuate the front derailleur on my road bike. This gets some funny looks and sits somewhat at odds with the racy nature of the machine and the rest of the Ultegra groupset, but when the left-hand shifter internals broke I swapped to a more reliable, cheaper alternative and honestly can’t see myself swapping back except in the case of a total groupset overhaul.

Cup and cone hubs

The venerable cup and cone bearing system feels like it should be consigned to the history books in favour of sealed cartridge bearings. Nobody has told Shimano this though; it has doggedly stuck to the system since the year dot, even on its high-end wheelsets.

While sealed bearings will need to be replaced, cup and cone systems can be serviced by removing the cone and ball bearings, cleaning everything up and reinstalling with fresh grease. The ball bearings may get pitted with enough abuse, but they’re easy to replace with fresh ones or even ceramic options if you’re feeling particularly flush.

My daily driver, a 1988 Specialized Rockhopper, is still rolling more than happily on its original hubs, the rear you can see above before I got my hands on it, I just need to remember to give them a quick tune-up every six months or so.

Chrome Industries messenger bags

Much like the brand identity of Kryptonite, Chrome Industries has established itself as the brand of bike messengers and urban cyclists. I’ve used its bags for many years, and while I cannot vouch for the longevity of much of the range, the key messenger bags are bombproof. My Citizen sling bag is only showing a little bit of wear and tear after eight years of hard use, including two years of daily use in all weather as a commuter bag. I’m confident the Barrage Cargo, which I’ve just started testing, will fare just as well in the durability stakes.

Eight years in and still only showing a little cosmetic wear (Image credit: Will Jones)

The messenger bags are constructed from extremely hardy materials, around a military-grade (whatever that means) tarp liner. The straps also feature seatbelt webbing and the trademark seat buckle for closures, which will outlive plastic buckles without question. The outer fabrics are also very hardy, and can easily shrug off regular scuffing.

Collectively it makes the bags essentially impervious to water (I’ve even used mine as a beer cooler full of ice before) and durable enough for years of daily use. They’re not as svelte as others in our list of the best cycling backpacks, but they’ll probably outlive most of them. Not many things get a lifetime warranty nowadays, but these messenger bags do.

As per Carradice, Chrome also has a Black Friday Sale on.

King Cages

Bottle cages are often the final afterthought to a bike build. Regularly unexciting, functional objects that don't get the heart racing like a crankset or some jazzy bar tape does. That being said, all bottle cages are not created equal. Plastic and carbon models, though light, are often fragile, and cheap aluminium options are usually prone to bending and feature scruffy, hurried welds.

Neat, tidy, strong, and a classic aesthetic (Image credit: Will Jones)

At a glance, cages from King Cage look very similar to other options on the market, but a combo of better materials and quality construction sets them above the competition. Both the stainless steel and titanium options will resist corrosion indefinitely and are fabricated with beautiful, tiny weld beads. If you’re looking for a slightly more elegant option then go for the iris cage; its swoopy form is not only visually pleasing but also is better for smaller frames as the bottle can be removed more easily without bending the cage outwards.

They're pretty boutique, so head to King Cage to get some bottle cages you can swap onto all your new bikes forevermore.

Rapha Classic jersey

Lycra is great. It’s light, stretchy, comfortable, and breathable, but hardwearing? Not so much; you don’t see it used for any applications where durability is key. The cycling industry is as much a culprit as any other for creating a seasonal churn of new styles to promote consumption, and the fact that it’s based around a more sustainable transport option doesn’t really appease this. Our list of the best cycling jerseys is primarily synthetic, which reflects the norm for the industry.

If you want to step off the treadmill and opt for something that transcends seasonal trends then the Rapha Classic jersey is one of the best options out there. The timeless, simple style means it’s yet to look dated or out of place despite being relatively unchanged since its launch in 2004, nearly 20 years ago now. Moreover, the merino and polyester blend, while heavier than Lycra, is more durable and easier to repair too should you manage to damage it in some way.

Again, it’s probably not going to last you all your life if you’re a regular rider, but it should fare better than the majority of other options and for that, it should be applauded.

Rapha has 25% off everything for Black Friday, just as an FYI...

Paul components

Cable-actuated disc brakes have a bad reputation on the whole compared to their hydraulically actuated-cousins. That is, it seems, with the exception of the Klampers from Paul Component Engineering. Manufactured in-house in Chico, California this near-legendary set of stoppers is built with durability in mind as much as performance. Roller bearings in the piston mechanism as opposed to a plastic bushing negate any risk of melting due to heat build-up on long descents, and the whole brake system can be easily disassembled with common hand tools should you wish to clean and service it, though Paul himself says you probably won't ever need to.

It won't be the lightest but it's not going to die anytime soon (Image credit: Will Jones)

Moreover, with a simple switch of the calliper lever arm, they can be modified for use with long pull, short pull, and Campagnolo levers, meaning you won't have to replace the calliper wholesale if you swap them from bike to bike; less waste, and less expense too.

The Boxcar Stem too, like the whole Paul range, is an in-house piece. Milled from a brick of American aerospace grade aluminium, it’s a thing of beauty, and available in many anodised colours as well as this polished option. Slightly art deco in looks, it’s built to last, and rated for MTB as well as road and gravel use. Again, it won’t be the lightest option out there, but that’s not what this list is about. The Torx bits are high-strength stainless steel, and while less common than the usual M5 or M4 Allen bolts they’re significantly less likely to round off and potentially kill your stem if you can’t drill them out.

As with King Cages, the best bet is to head to Paul Component Engineering to sort yourself out with some gear that won't wear out.

Silca Impero frame pump

If you’ve seen a frame pump on a high end bike it’s probably a SIlca Impero. While extremely expensive when set against the best bike pumps and the best CO2 inflators, a frame pump offers unmatched capacity over smaller units and isn’t nearly as wasteful as using CO2 canisters.

Constructed entirely from aluminium, besides brass hardware in the valve and a replaceable leather piston gasket, the Silca Impero is probably the perfect inflationary friend to take with you forevermore. Like all the best lifetime purchases it can be disassembled for servicing and repair, and if you’re an aesthetician the aluminium construction means it can be easily colour-matched to your frame, which itself will be protected by the built-in silicone bumper and padded head and handle tips.

Don’t be put off by the size; while your buddies are frantically trying to reach a rideable pressure with their mini pumps you’ll breeze up to your optimum without breaking a sweat.

Chris King hubs and headsets

Before writing this I canvassed for opinions as to what to include, both from Cyclingnews staff and some bike mechanics and frame builders too. The one constant was Chris King, whose hubs and headsets have a borderline mythical status for industry professionals and consumers alike. Chris King gear is bike bling of the highest order, but not just because of a range of pretty colours.

Within the beautifully anodised hub shells and headset cups lie the sealed, but fully serviceable, in-house bearings. Whether steel or ceramic they should, with appropriate treatment and servicing, last a lifetime.

The freehub body too, and the mechanism behind it, are constructed to last and last. There may not be as many points of engagement as the Industry Nine Hydra, but using two opposing toothed rings rather than a ratchet and pawl system means they should last longer. The hubs you’d transfer from wheel to wheel if the rim perishes, and the headset will likely stay with you even if your bike frame moves on.

Square taper cranks

This may be controversial, but I’m going to say it nonetheless: I think square taper is the best bottom bracket system for everything up to and including gravel riding. It’s difficult to find top-quality square taper components nowadays that’ll play nicely with modern components, but it’s not impossible. This Rene Herse double is 12-speed compatible, for example, so you could easily run it with Dura-Ace, Super Record, or SRAM Red, and features the same ramps and pins as you’d find on other high-end chainrings for fast, precise shifting.

The prevailing view is that square taper is cheap, heavy, and not for performance riding. The bottom brackets themselves may be slightly heftier than say a Hollowtech II external system, and will naturally rely on you having a BSA threaded BB in most cases, but high-end square taper cranks can rival and even best their more ‘modern’ counterparts in the weight stakes, and being forged from solid aluminium they are plenty stiff enough too.

Do I practice what I preach? Absolutely; I run square taper if I can (Image credit: Will Jones)

The mounting system is user-friendly, incredibly simple and foolproof, grot resistant, and repeatable; you can uninstall and reinstall the cranks a near unlimited number of times, and the taper reforms each time to form a perfect fit. I have seen the small teeth on Hollowtech II cranks round off, resulting in the need to replace the whole crankset, and while it's not impossible to round off the square taper it's not something I've seen a great deal of.

What’s more, with cranks like these from Rene Herse, and others from Velo Orange (which I run on my own custom bike), a smaller bolt circle diameter allows the use of much smaller inner chainrings, creating a wider gear range. My tandem for example ran a 53/28 for some time with no issues.

Would I happily ride a crankset from today in 30 years' time? Maybe, but I’d have my misgivings, especially if it was carbon or bonded aluminium. Do I use 30-year-old square taper cranks? All the time, and without a second thought.

Rohloff hub

326,000km of use for a static component would be impressive, but for the main part of a drivetrain, it’s unparalleled. The Rohloff, like the Sturmy Archer, is a hub-based gear system, but unlike the Sturmy Archer the Rohloff internals sit totally immersed in an oil bath, and it offers 14 gears. For a single fit-and-forget, no-fuss shifting system the Rohloff is basically unbeatable, and, if you can afford it, it’s the ideal choice for tourers, explorers, and maintenance-free riding.

There aren’t many components that get better after the first few thousand kilometres, but that’s what it takes to bed one of these in. You’ll need a frame capable of accepting one, meaning sliding or horizontal dropouts, and they’re not really that common on anything other than the best touring bikes, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that they’re an incredibly durable piece of kit worthy of being on this list, needing only an annual oil change to keep running happily.

While they offer durability in themselves, the fact you get to eschew the rear derailleur too, a protruding and generally rather vulnerable piece of componentry, further adds to the general longevity of the drivetrain system.

SON dynamo hub and lights

Even the best bike lights will run out of juice at some point. Dynamo hubs alleviate the need to charge lights by creating an on-bike power source at the front hub that can be used to power lights as well as charge electrical devices like your phone and head unit. They’re a little heavier, but with systems like the SON 24 and the SONdelux, there is only about a three-watt penalty when running the lights, which is less of a drag than a dirty drivetrain!

The SON hubs are probably the most renowned, and for good reason. While the company offers a five-year warranty these will almost certainly last a lot longer and can go for 50,000km between services (that’s the dynamo gubbins, not the bearings necessarily). Unfortunately, like most dynamo systems they are not field serviceable and so do need to be sent back to SON HQ when they need some TLC, but if you want a system that will last and last and continue to provide fuss-free power then this is the one to go for.

The shaped beam takes a little getting used to, but never having to charge is an instant win (Image credit: Will Jones)

The lights are a little unusual - the rear is a standard red LED setup, but the front is a shaped beam much more akin to a car headlight than the usual blanket spread of illumination offered by most bike lights. It effectively only illuminates the road ahead, and won’t dazzle other road users. It takes a bit of getting used to, as you lose some peripheral light, but the focussing makes it brighter where you need it.

(Image credit: Will Jones)

Sturmy archer 3-speed hub

If I had to predict which piece of cycling tech would survive a nuclear apocalypse it would be a Sturmy Archer three-speed rear hub. They are absolutely unkillable, needing only a few drops of light oil every now and then to keep spinning happily.

Yes, they’re heavy. No, they don’t offer the gear range of modern derailleur systems. They are, however, in my eyes, the ideal gearing setup for the majority of commuters. More or less entirely maintenance-free, and able to handle muck and grime with aplomb. Singlespeed sprockets, chainrings, and chains last significantly longer than their multi-speed counterparts, and you can even shift while stationary, which is surprisingly handy if a light turns red suddenly and you’re stuck in the wrong gear.

If you live in San Francisco or somewhere else extremely hilly then maybe this isn’t for you, but if your commute isn’t too hilly then with one of these the marginal time you’d potentially lose in terms of weight and gear range you’d more than makeup for in reduced cleaning time and downtime for servicing.

They’re not glamorous, but I’ve worked on hubs from the 1950s that I’d have happily fitted to a new bike (yes, that grubby one you can see above). You can even pair them with the Sunrace shifters mentioned above for the ultimate bombproof setup.

Cyber Monday cycling shoes: Road, gravel and MTB footwear in the sales

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 14:25:03 +0000

Cyber Monday could be your last chance to find a deal on a new pair of cycling shoes over the Black Friday sales period.

In our eternal bid to find the best Cyber Monday bike deals, the Cyclingnews deal hunters are still running at full power to find the best discounts and check that there's a decent range of sizes still available.

Choosing the right cycling shoes can transform your riding experience. A really good pair often offers a stiffer pedalling platform, more comfort, lower weight, better aesthetics, or some combination of all of the above over more basic pairs, but normally at a much greater cost.

Given that cycling shoes come at a high price, trial and error can be costly, so this round-up of Cyber Monday cycling shoe deals is here to help. If you find the right deal, it's possible to end up with some of the best cycling shoes for a fraction of their original price.

Cyber Monday cycling shoes

Cyber Monday cycling shoes deals USA

Don't be too fooled by the 'wide' label, these aren't flippers, they just have a bit more volume in the upper than the regular version, perfect if you have a higher arch. For a top-flight road shoe that's raced by the likes of Mathieu van der Poel this is a bargain. View Deal

Several colours, including this beautiful tropical fade, are on sale, although sizes are now limited, but whichever one you opt for the Torch is an incredible shoe. Stiff, comfortable, light, and with a lovely low ankle to avoid any rubbing. The heel cup is also famous for giving a locked-in feeling. View Deal

While overshoes are good, nothing beats dedicated winter shoes for keeping your feet warm and dry. Fizik's Artica are a tried and tested winter shoe that's been well reviewed over the years in all its previous iterations. Plus, it has Gore-Tex. View Deal

A legend of the cycling shoe world, the Empire SLX has featured in our best bike shoes guide for years If you're into ultralight, ultra-adjustable, and ultra-cool shoes then these have to be top of your list. View Deal

Shoe of choice of ultra-star Lachlan Morton, so you can be sure they'll hold up if you suddenly decide you want to cycle around Australia. A lugged carbon sole is mated to a durable, lightweight upper that'll be perfect for gravel and XC riding. View Deal

Another staple of the winter road shoe scene, the Northwave Celsius R GTX has a tall, insulated ankle sock to stop water ingress and a single dial. Will it be enough to make you convert to the metric system? Available in smaller sizes only.View Deal

Ok, there's only sizes 43 and 45 here, but I've included them just because how often can you get a really good pair of gravel shoes in a colour that reminds you of chocolate and strawberry ice cream AND at a discount??View Deal

Giro's Empire lace-up range has reached legendary status now, with the ACC filling the 'classic' part of the range now. Laces are lighter, more aero, and while you can't adjust on the fly you can adjust the fit a lot more finely than with a pair of dials. View Deal

Velcro straps used to be just for entry level shoes, but Fizik turned that around with its broad, no-stretch powerstraps. Lighter and more aero than BOA dials, and still at a very attractive price for a mid range pair of slippers. View Deal

Cyber Monday Cycling Shoes Deals UK

At the time of writing most sizes are available in both black and white versions of the magnificent S-Works Torch, as well as size 36 in blue with 50% off. These are our 'best overall' winner in our guide to the best cycling shoes, so you know you're getting a good pair at a great price.View Deal

Trek's top end road shoe now with more than half off! The knitted upper keeps it breathable, while dual BOA dials cranking skeletal straps over the knitted uppers lock the foot in. There's a 35% discount on white, too, and a wider range of sizes available if black and gold is a bit bling for you. View Deal

A wider shoe for those who have struggled with standard fit shoes in the past, while still remaining light, stiff, and performance oriented. There are varying discounts on the different colours, but you can save across the range of five colour options. View Deal

Sidi has a loyal following, and the Genius 10 is a quality road shoe, especially if you have feet than run narrow. Dual dials, a microtex upper, and a large strap across the top of the midfoot to reduce any heel-lift. Plenty of sizes in stock.View Deal

White winter shoes may not sound like they make sense but with a discount like this you can afford to buy an extra packet of wet wipes. Gore-Tex to keep you dry, extra insulation to keep you warm. You can go black for an extra £17 and show the road grime less. Ditch the overshoes for winter boots and you'll never look back. View Deal

If you want something a little more roomy the Lake shoes tend to come up a bit wider - these aren't the brand's wide version though. Sturdy suede and a really solid construction means these are built to last. Only a few smaller sizes left.View Deal

An extremely good looking shoe from Fizik that blends road style with the utility of an SPD dual-sided pedal and walkability, thanks to a not-too-stiff sole. Perfect for around town, spin classes, and for anyone using MTB pedals on the road, too. View Deal

A superlight summer shoe that would cross over brilliantly into indoor use thanks to a very breezy knitted upper. Another one only available in a few sizes.View Deal

Designed for big days out with occasional hike-a-bike the S-Works Recon ADV is a great shoe for the adventurer, with lace closure for comfort and easy repairability in the wild.View Deal

A whopper of a discount on one of Fizik's most high end shoes. Dual BOA dials take care of the fit, with one tightening down a lovely wide strap on the upper of the foot to lock you in place for hard efforts. View Deal

Not the very top, S-Works version, but the Torch 2.0 has a lot of the same DNA as its more premium sibling, just at a drastically cheaper price. View Deal

Velcro shoes often get sidelined nowadays but Fizik has nailed it with its Powerstrap system. Easily adjustable, fast, light, and more aero than dials too. A really excellent first pair of cycling shoes here at this price and available in multiple colours. View Deal

UK: ~~£120.00~~ £61.50

The Pro Team Training Jersey is discounted in a range of colours and sizes right now. This is a stylish performance-focused jersey designed to give a fitted, focused fit. It has three rear pockets and an additional zippered one. View Deal

Core Gilet
US: ~~$95.00~~ $54.75
UK: ~~£78.00~~ £40.50

The Core gilet is a great option for layering over a jersey for warmth and protection. It's a good chunk cheaper than the more fitted Pro Team option, so I plump for it for value. Now in a wide range of colours and sizes. All colours get at least 25% off, but some are already discounted.

Featured in: Best cycling gilets View Deal

Core Long Sleeve jersey
USA: ~~$104~~ $78.00
UK: ~~£93.00~~ £51.75

The Core is the brand's more budget-friendly option, but for those looking for a quality everyday winter training jersey, it's very hard to beat. There is a range of colours on offer too, to match any outfit, although the black and navy versions have the most options.

This jersey is discounted in various sizes and colours, have a quick browse to find the ideal piece for you. View Deal

Pro Team Lightweight Jersey
USA: ~~$230.00~~ $138.00
UK: ~~£155.00~~ £87.00

It's perhaps a little hard to remember beautiful hot weather riding now it's cold and dark, but it will return once again. This is the most ventilated jersey Rapha makes, perfect for hot, sticky climbs.

Features in: Best cycling jerseysView Deal

Men's Core Jersey
USA: ~~$110.00~~ $66.00
UK: ~~£78.00~~ £43.50

If you can stand to wear older seasons' colours, you can pick up the excellent Core jersey at half off. It's one of the best budget cycling jerseys at full price, so with this discount, it's a steal.

Features in: Best cycling jerseysView Deal

Merino Base Layer
USA: ~~$90~~ $52.50
UK: ~~£70.00~~ £31.50

This is my favourite base layer. I use it through Fall and in Spring, and often in midwinter too, for an extra layer. In fact, I have two, so they can be on rotation when one is in the wash.

Features in: Best cycling base layersView Deal

Insulated Jacket
USA: ~~$290~~ $217.50
UK: ~~£195.00~~ £72.75

An updated version of a jacket that went into my guide to the best commuter cycling jackets. A modern silhouette, Primaloft insulation to keep you warm, and a double-ended zip to keep it functional riding to or from the co-working space. View Deal

Trail Cargo Bib Liner
USA: ~~$200~~ $150
UK: ~~£130.00~~ £97.50

As with the women's version above, these are designed to be worn under baggy shorts. A few extra pockets on the back for valuables help keep things neat, and the chamois pad is quality. Rapha pads are generally a little thicker than most. View Deal

Archive Picks - Women's

Core bib shorts
USA: ~~$160.00~~ $102
UK: ~~£120.00~~ £72.00

The Rapha women's core bibshorts are a range staple, and a great buy if you want some comfortable, stylish bibshorts. The Mahogany / White colour seems to carry the biggest discount in a range of sizes. View Deal

Brevet Lightweight Jersey
USA: ~~$200.00~~ $73.50
UK: ~~£155.00~~ £81.00

A more summer-friendly version of the popular Brevet Jersey. Cut for long days out, with roomy pockets, and a 360-degree reflective strip for added visibility in low light. View Deal

Core Jersey
USA: ~~$88~~ $66
UK: ~~£85.00~~ £43.50

Discounted in a whole suite of colours, the Core Jersey is a really great option for those on a smaller budget, even at full price. With over half off, it's a steal, and likely the best budget jersey on the market.

For the UK deal, the jersey is only available in High Vis pink. View Deal

Core Rain Jacket II
USA: ~~$190.00~~ $142.50
UK: ~~£140.00~~ £73.50

I rate the Core Rain Jacket II as the best budget waterproof cycling jacket out there, and with just under 50% off, it's a no-brainer for anyone looking to spend more time riding in the rain. Two colours are discounted, but the moss colour has the best price. View Deal

Trail Gore-Tex Infinium
USA: ~~$390.00~~ $281.25
UK: ~~£275.00~~ £144.00

My feelings on this jacket were mirrored by our tester, Claire, last year. It's the same as the men's version above, but tailored differently and with a larger discount too. View Deal

Trail Liner Bib Short
USA: ~~$200.00~~ $150.00
UK: ~~£130.00~~ £97.50

Rapha bib shorts consistently rate well here at Cyclingnews. They are always in our buyer's guides, and while we've not tested these, I have no reason to suggest they won't also be great. These are designed to go under baggy trail shorts, so they have mesh panels on the sides to enhance breathability, which also makes them prime for indoor training too. View Deal

Trail Lightweight Shorts
USA: ~~$165.00~~ $82.50
UK: ~~£130.00~~ £48.75

If you need a set of shorts to go over your bib liners, then these are worth a look. A high waist, especially at the rear, to keep your lower back out of the tyre spray, and zipped side pockets so your phone doesn't keep squishing against your leg. View Deal

Men's deals

Men's Pro Team Lightweight Tights
US: ~~$295~~ $221.25
UK: ~~£190~~ £142.50

The Pro Team Lightweight tights are some of our favourites. They are incredibly light and comfortable. For warmer weather or intense riding, they are fantastic. We recommend the navy option.

Feature in: Best winter bibtights View Deal

Pro Team Gore-Tex Rain Jacket
USA: ~~$325.00~~ $195.00
UK: ~~£275.00~~ £154.50

This is the best waterproof cycling jacket on the market right now for road riding, and I've tested over 50 jackets in my time here at Cyclingnews. Thanks to changing regulations in the world of waterproof fabrics, it's also very likely the best waterproof jacket that will be available for the foreseeable future, and shortly, it will be totally unavailable. At full price, I recommend it over everything else, and with 1/4 off, there's every chance it's the best Cyber Monday deal of all.

Features in: Best waterproof cycling jacketsView Deal

Core Jersey
USA: ~~$95.00~~ $66.00
UK: ~~£78.00~~ £43.50

This was a strong contender for the title of best budget cycling jersey in my big group test, only really beaten by the Van Rysel option. It's better made, and with this discount, it is a better buy in my opinion. If black isn't your thing, then there are 8 other colour options. It's got a slightly more modern cut than the brand's Classic Jersey, and it's a little less warm too. A really solid day-in, day-out workhorse piece.

Features in: Best cycling jerseysView Deal

Core Rain Jacket
USA: ~~$170.00~~ $127.50
UK: ~~£140.00~~ £84.00

The Pro Team Gore-Tex Jacket is a sublime bit of kit, but if you're on a tighter budget, then the Core rain jacket is still an excellent option, even if the Core II jacket is now out too. The cut is great, it's protective enough if you're only riding in the rain infrequently, and it's now about the same price as a high-end tyre. It does come in black, but this orange is very handsome and has the main discount right now.

Features in: Best waterproof cycling jacketsView Deal

Merino Base Layer
US: ~~$110~~ $82.50
UK: ~~£75.00~~ £39.00

My colleague, Tom, rates this as his favourite summer-weight Merino base layer, but I'm a sweaty chap, and I use this all through the winter. In fact, I have two, and unless I'm testing another base layer, specifically, this is what I start almost every outfit with, except in high summer, and in the very depths of winter. The merino is very fine, so I never found it itchy, and it definitely smells less than synthetic options... though it's not entirely smell-free, so ignore anyone who says otherwise.

This piece is only available on sale in one colour in the UK.

Features in: Best cycling base layersView Deal

Brevet Jersey
USA: ~~$157.00~~ $132.00
UK: ~~£175.00~~ £98.25

This one is a real winter staple of mine for those days where it isn't bitterly cold. The material is lovely and cosy, but the best thing is the giant rear pocket, into which you can stuff gloves, hats, warmers, a whole bunch of bananas, and the kitchen sink, without taking space from the three normal rear pockets. The giant reflective stripes don't hurt either, along with a comfortable cut that isn't too racy for long days out.

Features in: Best cycling jerseysView Deal

Women's deals

Women's Pro Team Lightweight tights
US: ~~$295~~ $221.25
UK: ~~£190~~ £142.50

Also discounted for women are the Pro Team Lightweight tights, some of my absolute favourites. These are thin, stretchy, uninsulated tights that are perfect for milder temperatures and intense riding. A great buy right now. View Deal

Core Rain Jacket II
USA: ~~$190.00~~ $142.50
UK: ~~£140.00~~ £78.75

If you only ride in the rain occasionally, or you can't stump up the price for a Gore-Tex jacket, then this Core version is still a great buy. It's a little less breathable, but it's certainly protective enough for the odd deluge. The cuffs work best over gloves, but for the price, there's very little I'm able to fault it on. View Deal

Pro Team Long Sleeve Lightweight Jersey
USA: ~~$170.00~~ $96.00
UK: ~~£140.00~~ £75.75

Jerseys like this are a bit of a new phenomenon in recent years. They are long-sleeved, but effectively made of the same material as a midweight summer jersey. They're perfect for higher-tempo riding in spring and fall before the chill sets in, but I've used the men's version as late as June and as early as August on cooler days, so it's really a year-round item. View Deal

Explore Bar Bag
20% Off
USA: ~~$80.00~~ $60.00
UK: ~~£65.00~~ £33.75

This is the one my partner takes out with her on every ride, and while at full price I think it's not the finest deal, at this price it's bang on. If you have an especially small frame, as is often the case with women's bikes, with little room between the bars and the front tyre, then this is a great option, and the stowable strap means you can use it off the bike as a sling bag too. View Deal

Explore Pants
USA: ~~$165.00~~ $123.75
UK: ~~£130.00~~ £48.75

Light enough to make a perfect set for carrying in your bag for a commute, or a brilliant pair of bikepacking camp trousers that you can easily stuff into a moderately slimline setup. They're also decent to ride in, if the men's version translates across. An inbuilt belt takes care of the fit, and the pockets are on the outside of the legs and on the rear so as not to have your contents stab you in the leg with every pedal stroke. View Deal

Brevet Long Sleeve Jersey
USA: ~~$260.00~~ $156.00
UK: ~~£175.00~~ £98.25

If you like to pack a lot into your pockets in the winter months - gloves, warmers, snacks - then this is the jersey for you. Not only is it soft and cost, and not a hugely race fit for long days out, it has a giant full-width pocket behind the three main pockets into which you can stuff all manner of things. It remains one of my favourite features of any jersey I've tested, and I'm sad it's being cut for the most recent version, so get it while it's still around. View Deal

Core Jersey
USA: ~~$110.00~~ $66.00
UK: ~~£78.00~~ £43.50

If you're after a great first cycling jersey or just want a solid workhorse that is going to perform well, look good, and not break the bank, then this is where I think you should go. It's well made, comes in seven colours, and has a more modern cut than the brand's Classic jersey, with longer sleeves. The fabric is also thick enough that it's useful over a broader range of temperatures than a pure summer lightweight option. View Deal

But who is Rapha?

Rapha was founded by Simon Mottram in London back in 2004. Rapha's first release was 'the classic jersey', a piece of cycling clothing that helped change the look and design of cycling clothing worldwide. Mottram's aim was to mix high fashion with high performance, and though he has now stepped down as Rapha CEO, his influence and creative direction are still plain to see. In the early days, Rapha was a purely road-specific brand and has always had road riding at its core. It sponsored the all-conquering Teak Sky for several years, and now supports the Canyon SRAM and EF Education-EasyPost WorldTour teams, although the deal with EF is ending this year as it announced a partnership with USA Cycling.

Rapha cycling kit often appears in our buyer's guides across various cycling disciplines these days, as it now makes kit for gravel cycling and even mountain biking. You will find Rapha options in our guides for the best cycling shorts, best cycling jerseys, and best cycling shoes. You can explore its newer gravel and mountain bike apparel in our gravel bike clothing guide.

Rapha’s well-thought-out kit caters for every level of rider, whether you're starting out with its more affordable Core line or leading the pack in its ProTeam range. Rapha doesn’t just make cycling clothing and accessories, but casual clothing suited to commuting, relaxed rides and wearing off the bike.

The brand's loyal following is well-deserved and hard-won; not only is Rapha clothing consistently well-reviewed, but it stands by the quality of its products. All of Rapha’s riding collections are covered by a 30-day free return period and free crash repair service.

Beyond the clothing, Rapha works hard to build cycling communities by sponsoring unique events and through its RCC (Rapha Cycling Club) global community. If you decide to go all-in with Rapha and join RCC, you will be in the company of more than 12,000 members with access to a wealth of perks and benefits. There are special group rides, a members-only kit, and 50% off coffee at the Rapha clubhouses. If you travel often, then the RCC bike hire is a perk that might be especially useful. Having access to a top-quality bike and a computer with local routes on it is tough to find without RCC.

Rapha not for you?

So now's a great time to start thinking of upgrading your wardrobe, either with some quality winter items or some fresh summer bits for next season.

You can take a look at our Cyber Monday bike deals hub, which houses a mix of all the best deals on bikes, components and more from across our good sport.

The Fiandre NoRain range from Sportful has a really great DWR, similar to Castelli's NanoFlex, meaning as well as keeping you warm, these winter tights can also shrug off showers pretty well. View Deal

While for Britain the RoS 2 might be the better bet, the RoS 3 is certainly more breathable, so if you need a winter jacket for slightly less grim weather, or for higher intensity riding, then it could be the one for you. View Deal

Pearl Izumi's lobster gloves have proved very popular with us for winter riding. This pair keeps your two main digits free for dexterity, but groups your smallest fingers together to keep them warmer. They look strange, but they're mighty effective. View Deal

If you really struggle in the cold, then these full lobster gloves will be a better option than the pair above, grouping more fingers together. You'll lose a little dexterity, but gain even more warmth. View Deal

A great waterproof jacket that we've tested and is perfect for gravel and adventure riding. Being a smock, it leaves room for a large front pocket for stashing goodies, and the large hood can fit over a helmet to keep your head dry in the rain. View Deal

Perfect for the hottest rides, or for indoor riding if that's your thing now that the weather has turned frosty. It's entirely made from mesh, so it's incredibly breathable; just remember to apply sun cream under it.View Deal

Given that Gore is shutting up shop, this is the last waterproof jacket from Gore-Tex's in-house brand, featuring the latest PFAS-free Gore-Tex membrane that carries the same guarantee to keep you dry. View Deal

Available in a whole suite of colours, we think the Core jersey is a great staple at full price, and even better with this discount. It's cut with more modern sleeves than the venerable Classic Jersey, but keeps the classic Rapha styling. View Deal

Having put these through their paces ourselves, we can attest that they are a really great pair of bib shorts. Modern materials, flush edges to avoid sausage legs, and a lovely medium compression for that feeling of support. There are options in most sizes if you're not fussy about colour, although the XS and M have sold out. View Deal

The warmest jacket Castelli makes, and we've tested it riding hard in freezing conditions, and it held up very well. It features an inbuilt Polartec Alpha bodywarmer-baffle to keep your core from getting chilled, while somehow remaining breathable enough to stop you turning into a sweaty mess. View Deal

A superlight set of cycling shades that are well vented to avoid winter fogging, and as a bonus, they still come with a clear lens as standard, which many modern cycling glasses don't. View Deal

Rapha's entry-level shorts benefit from the trickle-down of tech from the brand's more premium options, but keep the price more affordable. Black and navy options are available in a wide range of sizes. View Deal

Rapha's Core Rain Jacket has been our best budget waterproof cycling jacket for several years, and now it's available with a discount. While it won't perform quite as well as a really top-end model, it's now less than half the price of some options.View Deal

UK Cyber Monday cycling clothing deals

While a short-sleeve winter jacket may sound like a mad idea, paired with a decent set of arm warmers, you get an incredibly versatile bit of kit that we rate extremely highly. Perfect for shoulder season riding and through into early winter too. View Deal

A very good set of bib shorts that we've reviewed very favourably. This discount applies to all sizes in the black shorts or XL in navy, but there's a smaller discount on burgundy if you fancy something different.View Deal

Spatz has made a name for itself making gear for foul British weather, and these Thermoz gloves are no different. A standard glove with a deployable lobster shell for maximum versatility and dexterity. View Deal

Luxe by name, luxe by nature. These bib shorts are crafted from an almost soft-touch Lycra fabric that, as well as feeling great, has a good level of compression for all-day comfort. View Deal

The Espresso range is Castelli's everyday gear, and these bib shorts would make a great staple for any cycling wardrobe. Plus, they come in a really wide colour range, though the discounts do vary. View Deal

Assos winter jackets are legendary, and the Mille GT is the brand's endurance-focused model. We've tested these in truly freezing temperatures, and the comfort they offer, no matter how hard you're working, is amazing. Only available at this price in XS, S and M in purple.View Deal

The old version, but one we here at Cyclingnews think is more appropriate for UK conditions than the new RoS 3. This is the long sleeve version, so more geared up for proper winter riding than the short sleeve option we've listed above. The women's version is discounted by up to 60%. View Deal

Our dedicated waterproof tester, Will Jones, thinks this is about as good as waterproof jackets will ever get. It's basically faultless and uses the old Gore-Tex from before the PFAS ban came in. View Deal

This is the older generation of our choice for the best winter jacket on the market. It's got a racy cut, a glove pocket on the front that's surprisingly handy, and it can handle hard efforts in freezing conditions without getting sweaty. Available in two colours in S and M only.View Deal

The bad news is that Gorewear, Gore-Tex's in-house brand, is shutting down. The good news is you can pick up the last of its Gore-Tex jackets for a massive discount. As silver linings go, it's not bad. View Deal

Another slightly older but still brilliant Assos winter jacket that would still hold its own against the best on the market today. A 3-layer softshell construction keeps things cosy while maintaining breathability. View Deal

If the Perfetto is a little too lightweight for you, then the Gabba, a name that lives in cycling legend now, is the jacket for you for riding hard in the wet. Only available at this price in S, but an extra three quid opens up a broad range of size options.View Deal

Cyber Monday Wahoo deals 2025: Deals on smart trainers, bike computers, heart rate monitors and more

william.jones@futurenet.com (Will Jones) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:28:01 +0000

Black Friday may be over, but the sales event runs all weekend and stays largely the same. It certainly isn't over yet, and culminates today with Cyber Monday.

It is traditionally the best time of the year to buy electronics, and while that isn't necessarily true for every piece of tech, there are almost always discounts to be had on the more techy side of cycling accessories.

Wahoo has grown from a small player making a few bike computers to a giant of the space, and there are already great deals to be had on bike computers, indoor trainers, and other peripheral accessories.

We've done the legwork for you in picking out the deals that are actually worth considering, but if you want to broaden your horizon slightly, then our Cyber Monday bike deals hub has everything (and I do mean everything) you could want, and if you're torn between a Wahoo and a Garmin then have a peek at our Cyber Monday Garmin deals too, to help you compare.

Wahoo Cyber Monday deals USA

Still by far the best Wahoo deal of the Cyber Weekend. The Kickr Core 2 was recently was very recently released and it's a fantastic bit of kit. At $399.99 with the Zwift Cog and Click controller, this is the cheapest we've ever seen it. View Deal

If you don't need the multi-bike compatibility of the Cog, prefer real shifting to virtual, or use your smart trainer with apps other than Zwift, then Wahoo has the Kickr Core 2 at the same price, but with a choice of cassette instead of the Zwift Cog.View Deal

You can easily make do with a simple fan for indoor training, but if you want to have a better time you can get a smart fan like the Kickr Headwind. It'll either work as a dumb fan, or you can program it to increase power with your virtual speed, or more useful is to sync it with your heart rate monitor and it'll blow stronger the harder you ride. View Deal

Wearing a chest strap heart rate monitor isn't for everyone, and they can particularly troublesome if you wear a sports bra. The Wahoo TICKR FIT armband offers a viable alternative that works well for cycling and multisport use too. View Deal

Given the time of year a lot of you are probably retreating for a few months of indoor training. With the Kickr Climb you can simulate gradients of up to 20% to make things feel all the more realistic.View Deal

While it didn't necessarily receive rave reviews at launch, the giant Elemnt Ace is fantastic for navigation thanks to the fact it has the biggest screen of any bike computer on the market right now. View Deal

Pedal-based power meters have become super popular in recent years thanks to the fact you can easily swap them between bikes. Speedplay have a very low stack height, and are famous for their adjustability, making them great pedals as well as a great power meter. View Deal

If you want a more natural ride feel then going for a smart trainer with some additional motion in-built is a great way to go. The Wahoo Kickr Move takes the same internals as the current Kickr, but places it on a moving rail enabling a lot of fore/aft movement, great for sprinting for the line. View Deal

Wahoo Cyber Monday deals UK

This is, at the time of writing, a better deal than on Amazon. The Roam is the middle-sized computer in Wahoo's range and in our opinion likely the best for most people. Great navigation, great features, and very user friendly. View Deal

A similar deal can be had on the baby of the range, the Bolt. More of a racer's choice, but it also packs more or less all the features of the Roam into a smaller, cheaper package.View Deal

If you want the biggest screen possible for your bike computer then it has to be the Elemnt Ace. It's really very large, and has a larger discount to match, plus it has an inbuilt wind sensor so you can plan your attacks and KOM attempts on the fly. View Deal

If you're looking to buy a smart indoor trainer for the winter(s) ahead, and you want something that's at the lower end of the pricing spectrum but is easy to set up, and with WiFi connectivity, the Kickr Core 2 is absolutely worth considering. This is the latest version of the Kickr Core and is currently at its lowest price ever.View Deal

While power is the cream of the crop for training metrics, most riders still use heart rate concurrently, and the Trackr is a great option to keep track of your beats per minute, as well as a host of other features. View Deal

Additional movement is becoming a hallmark of premium trainers to give you a more natural ride feel. The Kickr Move uses the same internals as the current Kickr smart trainer, but adds a moveable track to allow you to roll forward and backward under high load. View Deal

Double sided entry, a very low stack height, and dual-sided power measurement make the Speedplay power pedals a great option. They're also famously adjustable, for dialling in one's fit. View Deal

Cyber Monday bike deals: the best cycling-related savings on the final day of Black Friday weekend

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:23:25 +0000

Welcome to Cyclingnews' roundup of the best Cyber Monday bike deals, a page with excellent hand-picked savings specifically for cyclists.

After a month-long buildup and a busy weekend, we're into the final day of the weekend of sales, and like a Christmas chocolate selection box, there's a mixed bag of deals still available.

Some Cyber Monday deals have returned to Friday's price, some stayed the course over the weekend, and a select few have gotten even cheaper this morning. But of course, a lot of the deals we saw this weekend have now sold out.

For those waking up in the US, the Zwift Cyber Monday deal, which brought the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 to its lowest-ever price, is a standout pick. Amazon's Garmin Edge 540 Solar deal with 38% off is another, while the 25% sitewide sale at Rapha (on top of existing sale prices) has created some incredible savings.

In this page, we've rounded up the last of the best deals from the Cyber Monday sales, but you can see even more deals in our Cyber Monday bikes deals live blog as we scour the internet.

If you see something you want, don't hang around. Come midnight, the Cyber Monday cycling deals will be gone.

Cyber Monday bike deals in the USA

In this section, all eyes are on the USA, with deals from Mike's Bikes, Competitive Cyclist, Amazon, REI, Specialized, Canyon, Trek, and many more.

Editor's Picks USA

This is the real pick of the pile: The best Cyber Monday discounts and knocked-down prices on gear we absolutely love.

The Kickr Core 2 was recently was very recently released and it's a fantastic bit of kit. At $399.99 with the Zwift Cog and Click controller, this is the cheapest we've ever seen it. View Deal

An excellent jacket for warmer (or harder) winter rides, with a stunning discount, but unsurprisingly only a few sizes remain. View Deal

The GP5000S TR is our choice as the best all-round road tyre. Competitive Cyclist has sizes 25mm, 28mm, and 32mm, but only in the Black walled variant.View Deal

There are loads of Cyber Monday bike light deals, but this is the one that gets you the biggest brightness for the best price. View Deal

Cyber Monday bike tech deals USA

Putting the 'cyber' into Cyber Monday! Here we'll look at all the gadgets, including GPS computers, headphones, cameras, power meters and more.

This smart watch but wrapped up in a visual package that wouldn't look out of place at a dinner party. It's packed full of all the ususal smart and sport features and added aquatic ones. View Deal

For a combination of big battery, big screen, and big power, while not quite paying top-tier price, this is a great deal. It's still a big buy, at over $500, but it packs a similar punch to the newer Edge 1050, while offering a battery life that'll last literally days. View Deal

The cheaper price of $408.78 is no longer available, but we've kept the product here because it's still a good deal at over $100 off. Amazon's listed MSRP is actually wrong, so the deal is better than it looks.

The Edge 540 Solar is no longer the latest 5-series Garmin, but it's still very much one of the best bike computers on the market. This is the best price we've ever seen it, courtesy of the early Amazon Cyber Monday sales. View Deal

A modest discount but that's no surprise given these are the latest flagship model. They come with active noise cancelling, heart rate sensing, live translation and more, and this is the cheapest we've ever seen them.View Deal

Cyber Monday bike lights USA

Here we're focussing on illumination, so everything from budget bike lights to high-powered light-up-the-night lights, and even Radar-equipped hybrid lights.

Rear bicycle radars are having their day, with dozens of brands launching them to varying degrees of success. The OG will always be the Garmin Varia, though. It has forever just 'worked' and this version with its bright rear light means you're killing two birds with one nicely-discounted stone.View Deal

To get a 1200 lumen front light from a well-known brand at under $50 is almost unheard of, so this is a stunning buy if you need to upgrade your night riding. And if you're unsure about what brightness you need, our rule of thumb is that 1000 lumens is the minimum for riding on completely unlit roads at night, but you'll get away with less if you're riding under streetlights and want to be seen by other road users. View Deal

Cyber Monday indoor cycling USA

This section looks at indoor training, with indoor bike trainers, smart bikes, old-school exercise bikes, software deals, and we might even throw in the odd laptop and TV deal.

One of the most advanced smart trainers on the market, the Kickr V6 does everything well, without an unnecessary list of bells and whistles. It has been cheaper than this over the weekend at Amazon, but this is the best price (and still a good price) available right now. But just know that if you're looking for a budget option, the Kickr Core is a better buy. View Deal

The Kickr Core 2 was recently was very recently released and it's a fantastic bit of kit. At $399.99 with the Zwift Cog and Click controller, this is the cheapest we've ever seen it. View Deal

Most coached athletes get Premium TrainingPeaks (or a competitor) as part of their deal, but if you're self-coached (or want to enjoy the Zwift-competitor TP-Virtual, now's the time to commit, with 25% off a year's subscription. View Deal

Cyber Monday cycling clothing & accessories deals USA

In desperate need of a new winter closet this Cyber Monday, or simply want to stock up on summer threads? The following deals include everything of the sort.

The MAAP Apex Deep winter bib tights have been a frequent go-to in my winter wardrobe, keeping me warm and comfortable on the coldest days over the last couple of years. Unsurprisingly, the S, M and L sizes have sold out, but others remain. View Deal

The Mille GT Ultraz jacket received a perfect 5 star review from our expert test team. We especially liked its ability to wick away sweat on hard winter rides, as well as the quality pockets. Even at this price, it's not a cheap jacket, but if you want to ride in comfort this winter, it's an investment you won't regret. You'll have to be quick though as only three remain!View Deal

I didn't love the Perfetto ROS 3 that launched this year. I much prefer this one, which is a little warmer and better suited to the colder winters we get here in the UK. You'll have to be quick if you want it though, as there's only one left in stock.View Deal

Combining Merino and man-made fibres, MAAP's Alt Road Jersey 2.0 is a flexible jersey perfect for adventures. It's a little heavier than a summer jersey, so when temperatures fluctuate, you won't need to immediately reach for an additional layer. There's only one left - size S - in stock.View Deal

A warming and breathable base layer is a great starting point for anyone's winter cycling wardrobe. The Deep Winter Base Layer ticks all the boxes and uses a combination of patented Polartec fabrics to deliver what Le Col says is supreme insulation and temperature regulation with high breathability and low fabric weight. Only two sizes remain, so act fast if you want it. View Deal

The C5 gloves are the best overall gloves in our winter cycling gloves buying guide. We really liked the fit, the hardwearing exterior and the high-vis option. They're not cheap at their full price, but they've been given a nice saving here. The neon yellow version has all sizes left, but black is limited.View Deal

US-brand Capo is a new but fast-growing one, with a focus on road and gravel kit for both men and women. We're a big fan of its aero gear, but also like these Super Corsa Race bib shorts are a good buy at 40% off. View Deal

It wouldn't be Cyber Monday deals post with a good cycling socks deal, and these Le Col Tech Wool socks complete this winter cycling outfit. Designed to meet the demands of riding in colder conditions, they feature a high-density merino blend for increased warmth and durability. The good price remains, but there's only one colour/size combo left. View Deal

Our pick of the best cycling shoes on the market at the moment, the S-Works Torch offer exceptional comfort, a stiff sole, easy Boa dial tightening, and they look great. They're currently 27% off in the oak green colourway in most sizes. View Deal

The Empire SLX lace-up shoes are quite possibly the most comfortable cycling shoes on the market. They come with adjustable-arch insoles and are pretty lightweight too. They're generally quite an expensive pair, in line with the most premium options, but this discount brings that down by over half!View Deal

The Torch 1.0 is Specialized's entry-level road shoe. It borrows trickle-down tech from the multitude of performance road shoes in the brand's range. It represents good value for money at retail price, with a comfortable ride that's stiff enough to get the power down when required, but without causing hotspots. The maroon colourway gets the best discount but others are on offer too. View Deal

Giro was the first major shoe firm to revert to lace-up shoes and its knit Republic shoes continue the trend. The laces ensure even pressure distribution over the forefoot and the knit fabric offers great ventilation and comfort on hot rides. They're not the cheapest shoes on the market, but they're the ones to go for if you're worried about comfort and are riding indoors or in warmer climates. Only one size remains though, so be quick if you're interested. View Deal

Cyber Monday bike deals USA

Now for the good stuff, the bikes! Everything from top-of-the-range road and gravel bikes to commuter-friendly e-bikes and family-friendly kids' bikes.

Canyon's Ultimate might be lesser-spotted in the WorldTour nowadays as racers lean towards the Aeroad, it doesn't mean it's not still a fantastic bike. In Will Jones' 2023 review, he said it was exceptional when riding uphill, fast handling, and had a quality build kit. He also described it as compelling at full price, so to get one with almost $3000 off is surely even more so. View Deal

The original Trek Emonda ALR is our baseline bike in the Cyclingnews wind tunnel tests, so any version of this bike has a particular soft spot in our hearts. This model, the latest ALR 5 with Shimano 105 is a particularly interesting buy, with a little over $500 off in this red and black colourway. View Deal

Other Cyber Monday bike deals USA

The best of the rest! Here are the best Cyber Monday deals we can find on components, tools and anything else that doesn't fit into the categories above.

The SRAM Red AXS shifters and brakes, which for me are the best part of the groupset, are backwards compatible, meaning you can fit them to your older SRAM groupset. This kit also comes with the Karoo, so you can use the bonus shift buttons and pair your AXS system with it. There's only one left in stock, so be quick.View Deal

As one of the leading aerodynamic experts and wheel manufacturers, Swiss Side needs little introduction, and it's a real surprise to see such big discounts from the brand. This is the biggest of them, at 45%, but there's 35-40% off a host of deeper options too. View Deal

No matter if it's being locked up at the office, at train station, or at home in the garage, your bike should be locked up whenever you're not with it, and although an angle-grinder-proof lock is best for public use, a Kyrptonite U-lock with a cable is a smart investment. View Deal

This premium Silca Nastro Piloti tape currently has a decent percentage off in the white colourway, a great way to freshen up your bike for next spring. The white gets the best discount, but red is $10 off too.View Deal

Cyber Monday bike deals in the UK

In this section, we're focussing on deals from within the British Isles, from retailers such as Sigma Sports, Tredz, Evans, Rutland Cycling and more.

Editor's Picks UK

The best of the best this Cyber Monday. These are products that are just a brilliant deal, either thanks to a whopping discount, or because it's a sale price on gear we absolutely love even at full price.

We rate this bike light at full price, and although it's discounted often, this is the best price we've ever seen it. View Deal

There are dozens of good bike lights on offer, but nothing packs this many lumens for this low a price. View Deal

Both yellow and blue variants are on offer, but this is the bigger discount. View Deal

Over half off this Ultegra Di2 groupset, the deal was originally under £1k, but even at this new price, this is still an incredible deal and a great way to upgrade your bike.View Deal

Cyber Monday bike tech deals UK

Welcome to Inspector Gadget's favourite section: Here's where you'll find everything that requires a battery, from GPS computers to heart rate monitors, smartwatches, headphones and more.

*hums Inspector Gadget theme tune...

Want a top-tier smart watch that is also super stylish? The Garmin Quantix 7X Solar, with solar charging tech, is available at 22% off. View Deal

The latest watch in Garmin's Fenix range, this is the mid-sized option with a 57 mm screen. Its list of functions is incredibly long, easily handling all the features you've heard of such as Garmin Pay, Vo2 Max analysis and Spotify control, adding in things like PacePro and Race Predictor to help you prep for your target event. View Deal

In the UK, Amazon has the Ultra Watch 2 down to £599, with £60 off. It's still a big investment but could make it a more attractive Garmin-alternative option at this price.
View Deal

With extremely good, clear mapping, a big and bright screen, and connectivity to pretty much every third-party sensor and app you could want, the Karoo 3 is quite possibly the best bike computer on the market. It might not have the brand clout of a Garmin or Wahoo, and the battery life is its only downfall, but unless you're doing 10-hour rides, it's a really good buy, especially with this discount. View Deal

The Edge 1040 is Garmin's former flagship, and although now superseded by the Edge 1050, don't let that detract from what is still a powerful GPS bike computer with an enormous battery life. View Deal

Not quite the same big discount as found over in the USA, but a pair of latest-gen AirPods for under £100 is worthy of a share. This is the cheapest we've ever seen them, but given the USA deal, I'd be tempted to hold off for a few more days, just in case Amazon goes bigger. View Deal

These neat earbuds from Anker are 47% off right now, with the black version carrying the biggest discount. You can also use the Soundcore app to customise the headphone's functions and charge them using the case. They were 70p cheaper than this over the weekend, but we've kept them in because this is still a very good price. View Deal

There are endless uses for an AirTag, but none more useful in my personal experience than placing one inside your bike travel case when travelling. Having lost luggage recently, knowing your bike's whereabouts is a reassurance that you simply don't have without it. You can even place them inside your bike's frame or mountain bike tyre to act as a bike GPS tracker in the event of theft. View Deal

Cyber Monday bike lights UK

Here we'll be looking at lights for your bike, with everything from high-powered see-where-you're-going lights to fast-flashing see-me lights.

If you want enough brightness from your bike light to ride off-road at night, then the 2200-lumen Cateye AMPP is our pick of the deals available right now. At a little over £100 it's a big step up from other deals found below, but you can at least be reassured by Cateye's reputation for quality and reliability. View Deal

Although the Magicshine light below is a better lumens-per-pound deal, the Cateye Ampp 1100 offers similar output with a better (in my opinion) beam pattern that lights up the road more clearly. I also really like Cateye's quick twist-on mounting that can be switched from bike to bike in seconds. View Deal

We've found a flurry of Cyber Monday bike light deals here in the UK, and easily the best deal for most people will be this Magicshine RN1200, priced at a smidge over £30. At 1200 lumens, you've got enough brightness for road riding in the proper dark. You'll only want more if you ride particularly twisty, fast descents often, or tend to ride techy gravel at night. Otherwise, this will cover most riders' needs just fine. View Deal

If you want a light focused on making you visible, rather than lighting up the road in front of you, then this combination from Cateye is a great deal. The 500-lumen front light and 150-lumen rear are plenty enough to help other road users see you. View Deal

And our most recommended rear light, the Seemee 300. We rate this as the best rear light on the market, straight from our guide to the best bike lights. It's got a whopping 200-hour battery life, smart brake sensor, and a downward-projecting LED light for 360-degree visibility.View Deal

A slightly cheaper rear-only option here from Magicshine. This one offers 200 lumens of oomph, with a healthy discount of over 40%. As ever, we'd recommend getting two rear lights to avoid being plunged into darkness if one of them fails, because you probably won't notice it's happened right away. View Deal

The Cateye Orb bar end lights are another favourite here at CN. Pop them into the ends of your handlebars for two additional lights. Keeping you safer in the dark and in low light. We have seen them cheaper, but they are still a bargain. View Deal

Cyber Monday indoor cycling UK

It's no secret I'm a fan of indoor cycling, and I've covered the Black Friday weekend sales for the past six years, so like some sort of Zwift avatar Liam Neeson, I have a particular set of skills when it comes to knowing what indoor bike tech is good and bad, and finding relevant deals.

At the top end of indoor training tech, Wahoo's Kickr Bike (WiFi) is an all-singing, all-dancing machine, with market-leading power accuracy, fore/aft tilting, inbuilt buttons for steering and braking, and adjustable crank length to add to the long list of geometry-adjustable touchpoints. View Deal

Wahoo's attempt at a smart trainer that mimics the movement of a real bike never really took hold. It's a cool feature, rolling back and forth by about eight inches and rocking side to side slightly, but it takes some getting used to. Still, it's cheaper than buying a standard trainer and a rocker plate. View Deal

To continue the Wahoo theme, one of the most popular smart trainers on the market, the Kickr V6 does everything well, without an unnecessary list of bells and whistles. I've never seen it as cheap as this before, so if you're after a top-spec bike trainer, act fast. But just know that if you're looking for a budget option, the Kickr Core is a better buy. View Deal

To get us started, this is an absolutely insane discount on a smart trainer that used to be priced at over £1200. Over the years, Saris has slowly dropped the retail price in line with the market, but even based on today's £600 RRP, this price is a steal.View Deal

It's common knowledge that you'll need a fan when riding indoors, and this is designed with industrial levels of airflow to keep you as cool as possible. The discount isn't huge, but compared to the Kickr headwind or an Elite Aria prices, this is a good buy. View Deal

Cyber Monday cycling clothing & accessories deals UK

Oh look, it's raining again... but wait, is that a waterproof cycling jacket on offer? If you're in need of a winter wardrobe reboot, or you simply want to stock up on summer supplies, you're in the right place.

One of the best winter cycling jackets as featured in our guide. We really like this as a high-performance product for hard riding. The only gripe is the narrow pockets sit quite high on the back, but the collar is excellent and the brushed fleece lining feels plush against the skin. Sadly only size S remains. View Deal

The Perfetto Ros 2 Vest takes the popular GoreTex Infinium Windstopper material and applies it to a vest only, adding an extra layer of protection over your core on those chillier, breezier days in the chair. Only the smaller sizes remain at the best price, but all sizes are discounted. View Deal

Though not destined for deep winter and pouring rain, in my experience the Core Winter Jacket is a great option for anyone heading out in temperatures down to around 3 or 4 this winter. View Deal

As race-ready winter-friendly jerseys go, Castelli was the pioneer and the Perfetto Ros 2 is a great product. The short sleeves might make it less versatile, but given the unseasonably warm autumn we're having so far, it the conditions couldn't be more suited to it. Only the smaller sizes are still in stock at this price. View Deal

For warmer winter rides, or perhaps as an investment for spring when the sun rears its head again, this Le Col long-sleeve jersey could be ideal. It boasts a nice, tight cut, with four colours available in all sizes, all at half price. View Deal

It might be the wrong time of year to think about summer jerseys, but this might be one to buy now while it's cheap ahead of next summer. The Mono jersey features nice modern long sleeves, a good torso fit, and is made using environmentally-friendly BlueSign fabrics.View Deal

With two colours and all sizes currently available, this Cyber Monday deal brings a premium pair of cycling shorts down to budget-friendly affordability. View Deal

The Free Aero Race S bib shorts from Castelli are an impressive product with comfortable Progetto X2 Air chamois, compressive fit, aero optimised fabrics, and four colours to choose from. The best discount applies to the brown, but navy, white and black all get decent savings too. View Deal

You mightn't get much use out of a pair of shorts between now and March if your winter will be spent outdoors. Investing in a fresh pair of shorts for riding on the indoor trainer is a smart idea, though, and you can't go too wrong with Rapha's Core range. View Deal

A smart upgrade from the typical Core winter bib tights are these cargo-pocket-equipped versions, which quite simply add a pocket to each outer thigh for carrying extra snacks or offering easier access to your phone, should the sunrise warrant a photo for the gram. View Deal

Rapha's Core range is well-respected the world over, and the Core winter tights are a staple for cold-weather riding. To get them on offer at all is a good thing, but to find 25% off right as Winter's about to take hold here in the UK? No brainer. View Deal

Cyber Monday helmets & shoes UK

Here we'll focus on kitting you out top and toe, so helmets and shoes, with everything from budget-friendly options to flagship range-topping products.

Our pick as the best road bike helmet on the market, the Evade III did very well in our wind tunnel helmet test too. It's well vented, super comfy, lightweight, and it looks great. It's usually quite an expensive helmet, but this deal brings the cost down a bit. View Deal

The Torch Lace, similar to the Torch also featured here, is one of our favourite pairs of shoes at the moment. They've been cheaper than this in the past, but almost a third off some of the best cycling shoes on the market. The navy blue gets the best discount, but most sizes are still available. View Deal

With varying discounts - based on colours - that rise to 50% off, the S-Works Torch shoes are one of the best Cyber Monday cycling shoe deals we've found so far. They were recently awarded the best overall in our guide to the best cycling shoes, so now is a really great opportunity to get a great pair of shoes at a bargain price.

The 'Deep Marine' version carries the biggest discount and in a limited range of sizes now. View Deal

Trek's top end road shoe now with half off! The knitted upper keeps it breathable, while dual BOA dials cranking skeletal straps over the knitted uppers lock the foot in. There's a smaller discount on white, too, if black and gold is a bit bling for you. View Deal

White winter shoes may not sound like they make sense but with a discount like this you can afford to buy an extra packet of wet wipes. Gore-Tex to keep you dry, extra insulation to keep you warm. Ditch the overshoes for winter boots and you'll never look back. View Deal

A superlight summer shoe that would cross over brilliantly into indoor use thanks to a very breezy knitted upper.View Deal

You'll not be missed in these, but it won't matter because you'll have saved 60% on one of the best off-road shoes on the market. Only smaller sizes remain though. View Deal

A bit of a consumable part, the yellow cleat comes with most of Shimano's road pedals (except Dura-Ace) and typically lasts a year or two of regular use, depending on how much walking you do in that time. With six degrees of float (essentially lateral movement of your heel) they're often preferred over the blue cleats by those with knee paind or other niggles. View Deal

The blue versions offer two degrees of float - or lateral heel movement. These come with Dura-Ace pedals, and are generally preferred by those who like a more locked-in feeling to your pedalling action. Red cleats are fully fixed, with zero float, but they're not on offer at the moment. Still available, but for collection only so unless you live near a Sigma Sports store, you're out of luck. View Deal

Cyber Monday bike deals UK

Big ticket items might need a bit more thought before you dust off your credit card, but if you're going to find a Cyber Monday bike deal worth buying, it'll be here.

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. View Deal

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. View Deal

A fast XC bike for most people, the Epic 8 prioritises capability over roughstuff, meaning it's forgiving when you inevitably hit the corner faster than you planned. With front and rear RockShox SID suspension, SRAM Level brakes, an X-Fusion dropper and progressive XC Race geometry, the Epic 8 is a serious bike. View Deal

At 40% off, this Specialized Aethos deal gets you Shimano's 105 Di2 groupset, DT Swiss wheels, and the Fact 9R carbon frame in an all-white-everything colour scheme. Only two sizes remain available though. View Deal

The CAAD Optimo 2 is an entry-level road bike perfect for beginners or those on a budget. It comes with an alloy frame, and a 10-speed Shimano Tiagra groupset, and is available in 51 and 58cm sizes.View Deal

Wahoo Kickr Core 2 review View Deal

Other Cyber Monday bike deals UK

Tools, protein shakes, inner tubes and more. If it's on offer but doesn't fit into the categories above, you'll find it here.

Sadly the £1789 price has now disappeared, but I'm leaving this deal here with the new, higher price of £1949, because it's still a really solid deal, especially since it's available on pretty much all options, even the ones with the en-vogue 165mm crank arms.View Deal

Like the Dura-Ace above, the price has risen today, from £999 to £1049.

Still, getting full Di2 with Shimano's revered hydraulic braking and a long list of spec options to choose from at 54% off is a great buy.View Deal

Hunt's 60 Limitless is designed around 25-28mm tyres, with 60mm deep rims, 21mm inner and 34mm outer widths, a hooked bead and Pillar Wing aero steel spokes.View Deal

Under £600 for a carbon fibre wheelset that weighs under 1500g would have been unthinkable five years ago. This Cyber Monday deal offers 40mm deep wheels, with a 22mm internal, 30mm external hooked rim. View Deal

Hunt's budget-friendly all-season road wheel just got even more budget-friendly! Weighing in at 1680g with 25mm deep alloy rims, disc brake compatibility, a 22mm internal width, a hooked bead, and delivered tubeless-ready. View Deal

Sadly the 56% discount has ended, but 40% off a highly-recommended torque wrench is still worth sharing. This TW5.2 gives you a range from 2-14 newton meters, with a 1/4 inch square drive and 3/8 inch adaptor for traditional hex bits. View Deal

If you ride more than around 5000 miles a year, you'll probably need to replace your cassette, and while you could wait 'til it's worn before you buy the next one, I like to buy a few over Cyber Monday and save myself a few quid. This price has risen slightly from £25.99, but it's still half price on a very popular cassette. View Deal

The Pirelli Smartube is one of a few well-respected TPU inner tube models, which are incredibly lightweight and offer impressive rolling resistance performance. They're known to be a bit more prone to punctures, but I tend to ride with a couple in my saddle bag as a lightweight emergency stash. View Deal

Similar to the Combiflex above, the Z Lok Combo offers the same end result; a combination lock that won't stand up to tools, but prevents someone walking off with your bike unchallenged. This is a little cheaper, but doesn't fit into a pocket quite so easily. It's great if you're carrying a frame bag, though. View Deal

Frequently asked Cyber Monday questions

When was Black Friday 2025?

In 2025, Black Friday was on November 28th.

When is Cyber Monday 2025?

Cyber Monday is on December 1st, and as much as I'm not really sure what day it is anymore, I'm reliably informed that's TODAY!

How long do Cyber Monday bike deals last?

This depends on the product and the retailer in question. In truth, most deals tend to remain while stocks last, but that's because most deals are just usual sale items repackaged as a Black Friday - and then Cyber Monday - deal.

However, every year, the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday bike deals are reserved for the Friday itself, the Monday instead, or the full weekend before returning to a higher price on Tuesday.

There's no easy way to know what those deals are, but a general rule is that if a discount was available before Friday, it should remain available after Monday.

As ever, if there's a particular product you're looking to buy, and you find it at a price you're happy with, we'd suggest buying it before you miss out.

And that's it! Kudos for getting to the bottom. Use the links below if you fancy going round again:

Black Friday electric bikes: Savings on e-bikes from Cannondale, Giant and other leading brands

thomas.wieckowski@futurenet.com (Tom Wieckowski) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:52:44 +0000

Black Friday is behind us, but the sales continue over the weekend all the way through to Cyber Monday in a couple of days.

In the lists below, we've rounded up all the best black friday electric bike deals we could find, split by country. We've got deals on a whole range of other cycling equipment as well, from helmets and socks, through to whole bikes, so if you need to get some other kit, then head to our comprehensive Black Friday bike deals roundup instead of trawling all the websites yourself.

E-bikes are generally a touch more expensive than their unpowered equivalents, and you have to spend a little more to get an equivalent spec. The added motor, battery tech, circuitry, and uprated components to deal with the extra power mean added costs that get passed onto the consumer, but that also means potentially greater savings on discounted electric bikes at this time of year.

With so many options and so many places to shop, we've used our expertise to navigate the sales to highlight our pick of the best flat and drop bar deals. We know what to look for in the best electric bikes thanks to our testing and coverage of electric bikes and the tech that makes them move.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy an electric bike?

Black Friday can be a great time to bag a bargain on an electric bike.

The cycling industry typically releases next year's models towards the end of the summer. That can leave vendors with surplus stock from the previous year's bikes, which they'll discount to make way for the next year's bikes.

Often, there's little difference between bikes year-on-year unless a brand has launched a completely new model, so you'll probably be getting exactly the same bike, just in last year's colour. One point to be mindful of at the moment is that some bikes are sold with older SRAM componentry that doesn't feature the newer and better shifter shape and braking performance.

Still unsure on the best bike for you?

If you've not found the right electric bike here, don’t worry, Cyclingnews has loads of great cycling buying advice to help you choose your next bike. Each of our detailed guides to electric bikes includes a buyer's guide towards the bottom of the page.

Our overarching guide to the best electric bikes is a great place to start your hunt, but if you're after something more specific, we've got you covered, too.

Our guides to the best electric bikes for commuting and the best folding electric bikes are perfect for those wanting an e-bike for the ride to work.

The best electric road bikes are suitable for anyone looking to go faster, further on drop bars and skinny tyres, while the best electric gravel bikes are suited to those wanting to go off-road.

For those of us with a keen eye on budget, if the deals above haven't helped, we have guides covering the best electric bikes under $1000, and the best electric bikes under $2000.

Finally, for those of us wanting to power up our existing bikes, check out the best electric bike conversion kits.

Cyber Monday indoor bike trainer deals: Big savings on well-reviewed smart trainers

josh.croxton@futurenet.com (Josh Croxton) — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:02:27 +0000

Black Friday is officially behind us, but fear not because Cyber Monday is here, and there are still loads of good deals to be had.

The big sale event of the year is a great time to kit out your indoor training space, given it falls right at the beginning of winter here in the Northern Hemisphere.

We judge the best smart trainers based on a balance of features, performance, quality and price. When a product is discounted, a once-expensive smart trainer can instantly become better value for money, and among the best Cyber Monday bike deals.

Topping the bill right now is the amazing Wahoo Kickr Core 2 deal, which sees the units drop to their lowest ever price for the sale. The links are right here if you want to head straight to them.

🇺🇸 USA: 27% off - ~~$549.99~~ $399.99

🇬🇧 UK: 20% off - ~~£499.99~~ £399.99

🇪🇺 EU: 27% off - ~~€549.99~~ €399.99

Given that not all indoor bike trainers are created equal, knowing which one to buy could be difficult. Some people will want the lowest price available that is compatible with Zwift and other indoor cycling apps, whereas others will want a higher-level spec without having to pay top money. Our experience here pays off, as we have reviewed pretty much all of the smart trainers on the market, so we can judge whether a discount makes a good deal or not.

We're also armed with tools to help us know whether a discounted product has been cheaper in the past, as is often the case, and we'll use that info to decide what makes it into this list.

Cyber Monday indoor bike trainer deals (USA)

While this isn't Tacx's top trainer, having been superseded by the 3M, it is still an incredible indoor bike trainer that can simulate gradients of up to 25%, handle power of up to 2,200 watts, and all with an accuracy variance of less that 1%. View Deal

If the Neo 2T is too much for you, then you could go for Tacx's lower-end offering, the Flux 2, which is accurate to 2.5% and can simulate gradients of 16%. Unless you're putting out monster wattage on the regular and racing to a high level, we think this is more than enough for most riders. View Deal

Wahoo's top-tier trainer, now at a much more palatable price. Foldable, adaptable to a huge range of bikes, and able to simulate 20% gradients with an accuracy of +/- 1%, and handle sprints of 2,200 watts, which is certainly more than anyone here at Cyclingnews can produce. View Deal

Cyber Monday indoor bike trainer deals (UK)

Here is the same deal that's listed above, but for the UK. If you want a quality smart trainer that doesn't cost as much as some more premium units over £500, this is the one to go for.

Wahoo Kickr Core 2 reviewView Deal

Indoor training is a great way to stay fit and train, but the sensations can be a bit static and the movements a bit unnatural. The Kickr Move helps this by mounting the whole indoor trainer on a rocker plate, allowing it to move underneath you for a more natural, realistic ride feel. It has the same internals as the brand's top-end, non-moving trainer, so you know it's going to be accurate and able to handle your sprints. View Deal

If movement isn't for you – and it isn't for everyone – then you can save a fair chunk of cash and go for the standard Kickr. You get the same 2,200-watt max power and 1% accuracy level, but you'll stay in one place the whole time. View Deal

If you're coming at this totally fresh and want to go all in, then Balfe's Bikes has a bundle deal that includes the brilliant Neo 2T trainer, a rocker plate for it to sit on to add some more realistic motion, and a trainer mat to handle all the sweat you're going to be dripping on the floor. View Deal

Once this was Saris' top level trainer, and it's still an excellent option able to handle 2,000 watts and 20% slopes, but now with a price that challenges entry level options. View Deal

Cyber Monday smart bike deals

A more modest discount here, and off a more expensive unit that uses Taxc internals and places them in a static form. You do get inbuilt fans, a holder for a tablet, and top-flight specs with 2,200 watts maximum, 25% gradients, and an accuracy of under 1%. View Deal

Guide to getting onto Zwift

That's the indoor bike trainer deals covered, but if you're here with questions, then this is the section for you. Throughout the remainder of this page, we'll walk you through everything you need to know when setting up your indoor cycling setup for the first time.

Zwift cost

At the end of the 14-day free trial period, Zwift is priced as a monthly subscription of £17.99 / US$19.99 / AU$29.99 per month. An annual membership lowers the price, with 12 months for the price of 10, with a money-back 30-day guarantee.

For context, TrainerRoad is similarly priced at US$21.99 per month, although there is an annual subscription of $209.00, which equates to a better price per month. You can subscribe to Wahoo X at $14.99 / £12.99 per month (or $149.00 / £135.00 per year) to get access to Wahoo's training library.
