Spend and save up to £300 at Tredz
Not found what you’re looking for on a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal? Well, Tredz has a whole load of ‘spend and save’ codes you can use to get up to £300 off pretty much anything you like on its site, except for some bikes*. You have plenty of choice across clothing, accessories, components, turbos and hybrid & electric urban bikes.
Seems like a good opportunity to grab some consumable components that'll wear out and will probably need replacing some point soon; tyres, sealant, brake pads, chains, inner tubes, that sort of thing.
- Spend £100, use the code SAVE15 and you’ll save £15; the more you spend, the more you save…
- Spend £250, use SAVE40 and that’s £40 off
- Spend £500, use SAVE75, save… you guessed it, £75
- Spend £750, use SAVE125 for £125 off
- Spend £1,500, use SAVE250 for £250 of savings
- Spend £2,000, use SAVE300 and you’ll get the max savings possible - £300
* The codes can only be used for hybrid and electric urban bikes, so no road bikes. Specialized and Cube bikes are also excluded, but that’s it, go wild...

One grand off Orro’s campagnolo equipped Gold STC bike
Orro has knocked £1,000 off the price of its size medium Gold STC Chorus endurance bike in the red colourway - the frame of this model has been engineered with Spread Tow carbon from specialists Sigmatex for its ride dampening qualities and, consequently, comfort. “This exquisite carbon fabric uses unidirectional spread tow tapes, allowing for a much larger number of fibres in a smaller space,” says the brand.
Assembled by hand in the UK, Orro’s flagship Gold STC model is equipped with Campagnolo’s 12-speed Chorus groupset which features Ergopower controls offering comfortable support mile after mile with its exclusive Vari-cushion technology.
Fulcrum’s R500 DB wheels, Deda Zero 1 bars and Continental’s 28mm wide Grand Sport Race tyres are also specced.

Free 1 year subscription to Wahoo SYSTM with any Wahoo smart trainer/bike purchase
As well as discounting the Kickr Core smart trainer to its lowest price ever (£629.99), Wahoo is giving a free one-year subscription to its SYSTM Training App when you buy one of its trainers so you have sessions and training plans to follow on your shiny new indoor machine.
Wahoo’s SYSTM app was released earlier this year and it’s the new home of The Sufferfest. It has a pretty stacked library of new immersive content categories including ‘On Location’, ‘ProRides’ and ‘Inspiration’ workouts, and all these can be compiled into specific training plans for working towards targets, whatever that may be.

Favero's discounted power meter pedals now half the price of Garmin’s Rally deal
Pedal-based power meters offer a lot more flexibility than crank-based systems, but you do have to expect to pay a higher price - but just £413.40 for dual sided pedal-based power is pretty amazing.
Getting Garmin’s Rally power meter dual sided pedals with £140.50 of savings this weekend seemed like a very decent deal, and it is if you want to invest in Garmin’s ecosystem that allows for road and off-road compatibility.
But if you’re looking for the best value power meter pedals Favero’s Assioma dual and single sided options are being sold at an incredibly low price right now.
The Assioma Duo dual sided option was €569,00 (~£481.04) and now is €489,00 (~£413.40) - that’s half the price of the current discounted price of Garmin’s Rally RS200 model which is being sold at £829.49.
Favero’s single sided UNO is also on a similarly great discount; previously €364 (£307.93), now €299 (£252.78).

Important Beer Information
Ok, I've said that X deal is the best of Black Friday before, but this one is taking the crown for me.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with cycling, but after this weekend, I think a beer is in order. The Belgian Beer Company has 10% off this case of mixed German beers and you also get a fancy glass to drink them from.
If German beers aren't your thing, they also stock tasty tipples from Belgium, America, France, Czech Republic, Holland and pretty much anywhere else where they make beer.
Is it too early? It's five o'clock somewhere...
29 November 2021, 10:56
Wahoo Kickr Core down to £629.99
Wahoo is another brand getting a last-minute deal in for Cyber Monday. They’ve got 10% off the Kickr Core
This smart turbo trainer is ideal for spending the winter hiding from the worst of the weather. It replicates gradients of up to 16%, has a power meter accuracy of +/-2%, a maximum resistance of 1,800W and is ready to use with most road and mountain bikes.
Plus, Wahoo offers an option to fit an 11-speed cassette for £39.99. Firstly, that’ll save you finding one that is actually in stock and buying it but it’ll also save you the hassle of fitting it which, if you haven’t got the tools, would be an additional cost.
29 November 2021, 10:45
25% off a one-year TrainingPeaks Premium subscription
TrainingPeaks is a very effective, customisable analysis tool for planning and building workouts as well as doing some serious in-depth nerding about your fitness. The fitness, fatigue and form graphs seem realistic and peak performances can be checked at a glance - read Jamie’s full review of the training tool here.
Usually the annual subscription is $119.00 USD (~£89.20), but now it’s on a 25% discount and will cost ya $89.25 USD (£66.90).
BEWARE, this deal is not the best for everyone. If you are a Gold British Cycling member you’re already eligible for a 40% discount, however for all other levels of British Cycling memberships this Cyber Monday deal is better than the 20% discount you can get.

Extra 10% on top of up to 50% off Science In Sport nutrition
Science in Sport have been busy over the Black Friday weekend and they’re finishing with a flourish by offering an extra 10% off when you use the code CYBER.
As we write this, you’ve got 13 hours to make use of this offer.
29 November 2021, 10:19
Le Col Cyber Monday Mega Sale
Cycle clothing brand Le Col is offering 40% off a huge range of their cycle and casual wear with an EXTRA 35% off on top of that.
After the frigid temperatures of the weekend, I’m very tempted by one of their winter long sleeve base layers which are down to just £31.85.
Sticking with that theme, the Pro Long Sleeve Jersey is £65.81 and if you layer the Pro Wind Jacket (£73.13) over the top, you’ll be as snug as a cyclist that is dressed appropriately for the conditions. Catchy.

30% off everything at Quad Lock - smartphone mounting kits for all devices
With 30% off everything, there's a solution here for everyone who is looking to mount a smartphone to their bike.
Quad Lock sells a range of kits for mounting your phone like a dedicated GPS unit with the minimum of fuss - just twist and lock. You have the choice between kits that mount your device on your stem or out front - there’s also a lower profile out front option too.
Featuring a patented dual-stage lock, you can ride with confidence over rough roads and you can easily detach to snap that beautiful view or take an important phone call.
Quad Lock has dedicated kits (a case included with the mount) for iPhones, as well as for all Galaxy, Pixel and Huawei devices - these start at £45.95 and now from £32.17.
For other devices Quad Lock also has its Universal Fit kit that works by sticking a strong 3M VHB adhesive onto the rear of a smartphone or case.

EVEN CHEAPER: Garmin’s Rally power meter pedals are now on a bigger discount
You can currently save EVEN MORE on Garmin’s Rally power meter pedals. Among Saturday’s Black Friday deals ProBikeKit were selling the dual-sided RS200 model (RRP £969.99) with a £119 saving and it just got better, how does £140.50 off sound?
‘RS’ stands for Shimano road style cleats, while ‘200’ means it is measuring power for both legs.
Garmin’s power meter pedals offer accurate and consistent data, while also proving to be weather resistant. The Rallys also have the ability to transfer its power-reading spindle from road to off-road pedals, for accurate data across disciplines - you’ll have to also buy the conversion kit for that, but it’s a great system to invest in, so do it now while it’s cheap!
If you’re keen to buy into the Rally system but the dual model is still above your current budget, the single sided model is also on sale (save £71), and you can always upgrade to dual later on.
28 November 2021, 15:33
Half price Oakleys!
Save 50% on Oakley’s Radar EV Pitch sunglasses which have a taller lens for increased peripheral vision and the brand’s excellent colour-enhancing Prizm black lenses (11% light transmission) suited to bright summer conditions - these are interchangeable too.

Free Sokz when you spend £100 at Spatz plus free worldwide shipping
So, we're not jealous of you being able to go for a sunny bike ride this morning while we try to find you the best cycling deals. I said we're not jealous, ok.
But we can imagine that there are a fair few frozen toes that are being slowly brought back to life after what must have been a cold one. Time to nip that in the bud before winter really hits.
Spatz overshoes are brilliant for the hardy cyclist. They work on and off-road and they keep your feet properly warm. Yes, they're an investment and yes, they look a bit odd, but I'd swap that for a winter of non-frozen toes any day.
> Review: Spatz Roadman 2 Overshoes
There's no discount on the overshoes, but you can get free worldwide shipping and there is a free pair of socks to be had if you spend £100 or more.
28 November 2021, 11:44
20% off Castelli’s Estremo Gloves
Warm, windproof and very comfortable, these full-finger gloves are a very good option for the cold weather, so grab ‘em while they’re on offer and your fingers will be thankful on winter rides to come!
The cuffs are plenty long enough for tucking your jersey sleeves inside to avoid getting cold wrists and the palms are covered in silicone print so they grip even damp hoods and bar tape. A small amount of gel padding is also included on the heel of your hand to protect the ulnar nerve.
28 November 2021, 10:28
Save 50% off selected Cafe du Cycliste kit
French cycling apparel brand has a massive 50% discount running across a whole load of men’s and women’s jerseys, bibs, gilets, jackets and caps, as well as 20% off all products on the site with the exception of the Atelier line.
Ultralight Christelle open mesh jerseys for the hottest summer conditions now start at £67.50 for the white, blue or lemonade version and £72.50 for a subdued olive aesthetic. Then you’ve got Marina jerseys made of naturally breathable, high wicking and odour resistant merino wool priced at £71.
Cafe du Cycliste’s premium Marinette navy bib shorts with laser cut grippers and a top of the range Cytech pad are now just £95.50 - both men's and women's versions are available.
28 November 2021, 10:15
22% off Castelli Perfetto RoS Cycling Jacket
Ooooo this is a good one. Castelli's Perfetto is an exception winter jersey/jacket. It is good at keeping light to moderate rain off you, it is warm and it is breathable too.
This thing excels when you head into the hills as you aren't left overly sweaty after slogging your way to the top. That then means that you won't freeze on the way back down and we'd say that is quite a good thing.
Merlin Cycles has a range of colours and sizes down at £157 and at this price, we don't think they'll stick around for long.
28 November 2021, 10:05
27% Off Topeak Smart D2 Pressure Gauge
Tyre pressure nerd, rejoyce! This Topeak pressure gauge can go with you in your pocket, allowing you to keep an eye on those tyre pressures while you're out on a ride.
We're only half-joking here. If you're riding off-road and trying to perfect your setup for a certain set of conditions then tyre pressure is massively important. Knowing exactly what your tyre pressure is, and then keeping a record of it in the notes app on your phone is a great way to keep a log.
28 November 2021, 09:46
Save up to 39% on SKS road mudguards
If you’re determined to ride through the winter whatever the weather, prevent road spray flicking up by fitting some mudguards - it’ll make it a lot more pleasant a experience, for both you and any mates you’re cycling with.
SKS has its full-length Chromoplastics road mudguards on sale - these are a highly regarded sturdy option!
Stainless steel stays fix them in place and the Secu-Clips on the front means they pop out of the mount if something gets caught between the mudguard and tyre.
The narrower option (was £45.99, now £29.99) fits 20 to 28mm tyres, while the wider version (was £45.99, now £27.99) is for those rolling on 28 to 38mm rubbers.
28 November 2021, 09:10
£239.90 off Carrera Crossfire E Mens Electric Hybrid Bike 2.0
An eBike is a brilliant investment if you're looking to use your car a bit less. Carrying heavy loads, such as a few bags of shopping, up the hill to home is made far easier and while we all like to think that we could manage just fine with a normal bike, we're far more likely to grab the bike if it is quick and convenient.
The Crossfire has mounts for full-length guards and a pannier rack. It has a 417Wh battery and the motor delivers 60Nm of torque.

Up to 55% off Fulcrum and Zipp wheels at ProBikeKit
How does 20% off Zipp’s 303 Firecrest Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset sound? Zipp’s 40mm deep wheels are more capable over varied terrain than before and are designed to be a versatile endurance wheelset for modern road bikes.
Boasting a 25mm wide internal width, Zipp says the rim profile provides low drag and an improved transition between rim and tyre, for aero efficiency benefits on the road.
Zipp’s more affordable carbon-fibre wheelset, the 303 S Carbon Tubeless Disc Brake wheels, are also on a 20% discount. Best suited for 28mm tyres, the 45mm deep hookless rim wheelset is designed for multiple types of road surfaces, including both asphalt and gravel.
At 55% off this next one is a sweet deal if you’re looking to kit out an endurance bike. The Racing 900s are Fulcrum’s disc brake option that’ll comfortably fit 25-28mm tyres, and with the brand’s 2-Way Fit system you can roll on either clinchers and tubeless. But you don’t have to worry about sourcing the other bits and bobs as in this bundle there’s also two 28mm wide Continental Grand Sport Clincher tyres and inner tubes included.

40% off Shimano 105 R7000 Pedals
More Shimano deals. This means that Shimano is back in decent stock. Has the world fixed itself? Not yet.

40% off Oakley Radar EV Path Prizm Dual Lens Deal
The Oakley Radar EV might be a design that is a few years old now, but it is still one that I love. I’m yet to find a pair of sunnies that feel as secure on my head which is an important consideration when riding off-road.
The deal here gets you the trail lens along with a low light lens.
*looks outside*
Yea, they’d be quite useful today.

Amazon has a great deal on Garmin’s Edge 530 that’s a useful unit packed full of features for both on and off road use including ClimbPro which shows the remaining ascent and grade when you’re climbing and Flow that measures how smoothly you ride a trail so you have a score to beat next time - read Rachael's thoughts on the off-road features over here.

Specialized has up to 60% off in this massive clearout
The big bike brand is having a bit of a clearout over on their website and no, it doesn’t include any bikes. Boooo.
But there are some very nice savings to be made, so we’ve taken a look through and picked out our highlights.
£75 off S-Works Evade w/ ANGI
This aero helmet is well ventilated, looks good and is very comfortable. The only catch is that the discount only applies to this team red version and you’ll need to be a size small.
Luckily, Sigma Sports has a few more colour and size options at £199.
£30 off Torch 1.0 Road Shoes
Thankfully, the size and colour options are a bit better here with a choice between grey or lime. Looking for a comfy pair of cycling shoes, these are a well-priced option. Again, Sigma has a few more colours at £72.
£18 off Therminal arm warmer
Simple black arm warmers for £12. Not much else to say, really.
26 November 2021, 12:40
50% off Castelli Prologo Jacket
Merlin Cycles has what is - as far as we can see - the best price on Castelli's lovely Prologo Jacket.
This thing uses the GORE-TEX Infinium Windstopper X-Fast fabric to wrap you up snugly on those cold winter days. The cut is classic, so will be comfortable rather than race-fit.
There are some more colours and sizes over at Tredz, but the discount drops to 46%.
26 November 2021, 12:16
Wiggle’s Black Friday deal highlights
We’ve rummaged through the offers on Wiggle and picked out some highlights…
Kask’s excellent light and well-ventilated helmet with a fairly low profile, the Valegro (was £169, now £84.99), is on a 49% discount. The Valegro was developed in response to Team Sky's request for a lightweight lid with maximum cooling to sit alongside the more aero Protone in its armoury.
Gaerne’s mid-range Carbon G.Tornado road shoes with a Boa L6 closure system are being sold at half price (was £179.99, now £89.99). Gaerne has included its “all-new integrated anti slip heel-cup”, which it claims, “will not deform or weaken. With its anti-tendonitis form it allows for the best foot stability and control.”
If you’re looking for a base layer, dhb’s merino long sleeve option is a solid choice for cold winter rides. The versatile layer made it into our select road.cc recommends section; it's a great option for riding in the lowest temperatures, and its 100 per cent merino construction is a real luxury at this price point - plus, with Wiggle’s 33% discount it really is excellent value.
26 November 2021, 11:28

Factor is running the ViSTA discount on just the frameset, but that includes the integrated bar/stem You'll need code BLACKVISTA for that one. For the wheelset sale, use code BLACKTHIRTY

Get a free heart rate strap and floor mat (worth £75) with every Wattbike Atom
Indoor smart bike brand Wattbike is including a heart rate strap and floor mat with its Atom smart bike to help riders get fully set up with everything they need for winter training.
The Atom was updated with a much improved resistance unit for a better Zwift experience; it’s also easy to set up and adjust, and, most importantly, provides accurate power - it’s gonna set you back £1,999 so well worth giving Dave’s full review here a read.
Cycling indoors is often a sweaty and noisy affair, this is where the Wattbike floor mat is handy - made from 6P-free PVC which reduces noise, according to Wattbike, this allows users to train day or night as well as protecting the floor so that riders can set up in any room of the house.

The Cambium C17 saddle (- Black was £95, now £66.50), for example, is ready for commuting, gravel riding and cycle touring thanks to its flexible, vulcanised-rubber top. road.cc reviewer John really liked how Brooks combined its ‘hammock’ saddle design with modern materials, and he concluded that the saddle is supremely comfortable.
Bags wise, Brooks has its Scape range that are designed to be versatile and strong travel bags for adventurers. There are ten bikepacking and touring bags to cover your bike including the Frame Bag (was £85, now £59.50), which really impressed with its top quality waterproof construction, handy cable port on the interior tech pocket as well as plenty of pockets for separating items.

Sigma Sports has a properly packed Black Friday sale. We've had a nose through and picked out some highlights...
Shimano's brilliant RC7 road shoes can be had at up to 39% off. The best price is on the white version at £110 but you can go for the more sensible black version for just a fiver more. Double Boa dial closure, carbon sole, sleek design, these are packed with trickle-down tech.

If you've got an Ultegra R8000 chainset and you're after a single-sided power meter then you've got two great options. The 4iiii Precision is down to £279. I've got a couple of these and they haven't missed a beat.
Or, you can go for the InPeak Power Crank at the same price. Both use a CR2032 battery and both are dead easy to fit. If you want to get into the world of power data but don't want to spend a fortune, these are both good options.

£100 off Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer - £899.99

25 November 2021, 21:13
33% off Tacx Neo 2 Special Edition Smart Trainer
The Tacx Neo 2 is one of our favourite of the latest smart trainers on the market. Dave really rather liked it and there's good reason for that.
The max power is 2200W, a max incline of 25%, max torque or 85Nm and a max brake force of 250N. It is very powerful and the power accuracy is very good too.
We're not really sure what makes this a special edition, but you can pretend that it is special.

Welcome to the Black Parade
It is once again everyone's favourite consumer event of the year. Well, that might be stretching it a bit, but Black Friday is generally a decent time to pick up a bit of a saving, especially if you've been looking to pick up a big-ticket item like a new bike, a smart trainer or a bit of new tech.

42% off Sensa Giulia Evo Disc Carbon Road Bike
The deal on this Giulia Evo Disc caught our eye due to the sheer amount of tech that you’re getting for the special price of £2,699.
A carbon fibre frameset sits at the heart of the bike and this features aero tube shapes to help you cut through the wind efficiently.
> road.cc Review: Sensa Giulia Evo Disc 2021
The geometry is a great mix of sporty and comfortable which means that this bike is ideally suited for long and fast group rides, sportives and we’d say it’d be more than enough for the local road race.
Shimano’s Ultegra R8020 disc brake groupset provides the perfect mix of performance and affordability with the slick mechanical shifting combined with the powerful hydraulic disc brakes to create groupset perfection.
25 November 2021, 17:16
