SUMMARY
And there's 24% off the new Action 5 too!
If you do want the latest and greatest from DJI, there’s a healthy discount on the new Action 5 too.
This is the standard bundle without the extra bits you get in the Adventure Combo, but if you already have a gimble then this is a great deal.
Save a whopping 41% on the DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential 4k Camera, now just £165
Almost every YouTuber going can be seen with one of DJI’s distinctive fluffy speaker units clipped to themselves nowadays, and for very good reason – it’s easily the best mini mic we’ve ever come across, and the camera ain’t half bad either.
While the Action 5 did come out recently – receiving a 9/10 score from us – the fourth iteration comes with almost all of the bells and whistles, at way less than half the £405 price tag of the Action 5 with this Prime Day deal. We also called it one of, if not the best action camera available when we reviewed the Action 4, so you’re saving a lot but missing out on very little.
Bryton's feature-packed S800 GPS computer is now just £179.95
Often seen as a more affordable Garmin alternative, Bryton has always impressed us in reviews, and the S800 is one of its more advanced units. With a 3.4 Inch Color LCD Touchscreen, mapping, radar compatibility and battery life of up to 36 hours, you’re getting a lot for your money here.
Make sure you're seen from behind and then some for just £16 quid
Cateye’s Viz rear light is easy to use and super bright in its 150 lumen guise, and it’s now down to just £16.49 for Prime Day.
It weighs just 27g, delivering a powerful blast of light in flash and pulse modes and a very bright beam to get you seen on steady. It’s also transparent, so there’s loads of side visibility too.
Get the Cateye Viz 150 for just £16.49, saving 45% off the RRP
The best deal on energy gels we've seen for a good while: 20 High5 Aqua gels down to just £13.19
We can’t ever remember energy gels being this cheap since they became a thing, so if you use them regularly for big rides then this is a stonking deal.
High5 claim its Aqua gels contain natural fruit juice, and there’s caffeinated or caffeine-free versions. The orange, berry caffeine and citrus caffeine are £13.19, and the caffeine-free berry is £13.29 for a box of 20. You can also save an extra 5% by buying four boxes.
This electric bike pump fits in your pocket — now 15% off for Prime Day at just £33.99
Tired of carting around a mini track pump the size of your arm? This clever little electric inflator from Airbank weighs just 93g, fits in a saddlebag or jersey pocket, and can inflate your road tyres up to 100psi — all without breaking a sweat (yours or the pump’s).
It’s fully rechargeable via USB-C, takes just 20 minutes to charge, and works with both Presta and Schrader valves. Airbank says it’s not designed for MTB or e-bike tyres, but for road bikes in need of a quick and accurate top-up, this is a handy bit of kit.
Big phone? Bumpy roads? No problem — 25% off Vitalismo’s rugged, waterproof bike mount
Vitalismo’s waterproof handlebar bag is built for big phones, rough roads and unpredictable weather — with a high-sensitivity touchscreen window, 360° rotation, and a sun visor for sunny or rainy days.
It fits phones up to 7″, mounts securely without tools, and has just enough room inside for snacks, tools or a power bank. Now 25% off for Prime Day, down to £14.99, it’s a handy cockpit upgrade for year-round riding.
For post-ride pours and mid-week Merlots: 15% off this bicycle wine stopper
If you’re the kind of cyclist who likes to wind down after a ride (or who just wants to show off their aesthetically cohesive personality), this dark silver bicycle wine stopper is probably already in your basket. And if not, why not?
It’s made from sturdy zinc alloy, fits most wine and champagne bottles, and comes in a neat gift box for birthdays, or that friend who “used to race seriously” but now spends more time working through their cellar than their FTP.
Even if it is destined for VecchioJo’s next Don’t Buy Me This Christmas gift guide, this is probably on the more useful end of the scale when it comes to cycling giftware tat.
24% off Eyein's waterproof triangle frame bag — now just £12.88
If you’re tired of stuffing your pockets with snacks, mini pumps and tyre levers, this waterproof triangle frame bag from Eyein might be the fix — and it’s down to just £12.88 for Prime Day.
It’s built from durable 600D Oxford material with a seam-sealed zip to keep rain out, has a slim profile that tucks under your top tube to stay out of the way, and comes with internal compartments (plus a key hook) to keep your tools and phone organised. There’s also a large reflective stripe for added visibility, and three adjustable straps to keep it locked in place — even on bumpy gravel.
Stanley 8-piece folding hex key set now just £6.49 (34% off)
Simple, compact, and useful — this Stanley folding hex key set covers all your standard metric sizes in one pocket-sized tool. Each key is clearly marked, chamfered for easy use, and folds neatly into the handle so you don’t lose half the set in your toolbox or saddlebag. While perhaps not Silca quality, it would make for a decent back-up set of general purpose Allen keys and/or for travelling.
Down to £6.49 for Prime Day, it’s a no-brainer addition to any workshop or ride kit.
The Wahoo Kickr Core with Zwift Cog is down to just £386.49, a 15% saving off the RRP
The Zwift Cog allows for indoor training without the fuss, as it means you can wrap almost any chain around it and get going without having to worry about cassette sizes, hubs and so forth.
Usually £449.99, the Wahoo Kickr Core with Zwift Cog is now down to £386.49 for Prime Day. According to our reviewer, it offers impressive accuracy, great ERG Mode performance, convenience, and low noise levels. It’s among the best budget smart trainers, and it’s rarely seen on sale for less than £400.
Save on the Wahoo Kickr Core with Zwift Cog, down to just £386.49
750ml of Muc-Off drivetrain cleaner down to just £16.08 with 43% off the RRP
This degreaser from Muc-Off will keep your chain free from crud for a good while, and there’s a significant saving to be had on it this Prime Day.
Save 43% on 750ml of Muc-Off drivetrain cleaner
You can also get a litre of Muc-Off’s Cleaner Concentrate for under £20 right now, although that’s not a Prime Day deal.
Save 34% on Muc-Off Cleaner Concentrate, down to just £19.67
Track heart rate, sleep and more with the Amazfit Helio Smart Ring, from just £109.90
Priced at £269 when we reviewed it, the Helio Smart Ring from Amazfit is massively discounted for Prime Day, with prices ranging from £109.90 to £116.
With its own health tracking app, convenience and no subscription fees to factor in, it’s an easy way to track your general health and fitness off the bike.
Even cheaper gels! You can now get 20 High5 raspberry caffeine gels for just £9.49, saving a massive 67% off the RRP
Yesterday we spotted a box of 20 gels for around the £13 mark… today, you can pick up 20 of these caffeinated raspberry flavoured gels for under a tenner.
There’s 23g of carbs in each packet, and various members of the road.cc team report that High5’s gels are pretty easy on the stomach. If you prefer to use gels to get you through those big rides, might as well stock up!
The Cycplus Tiny electric pump is now down to just £67.99
While we did spot an electric pump for under £40 yesterday, Cycplus pumps are seen as one of the best you can get currently, and have received rave road.cc reviews.
The Tiny version is the ultimate in space-saving electric pumping efficiency, fitting in the palm of your hand and the smallest of saddle bags. It will inflate two tyres up to 100psi on a single charge, more than enough for big rides.
Fuel like a pro with Science in Sport's Beta Fuel gels, now with 30% off
Science in Sport’s Beta Fuel is a favourite of the pros. Packing 40g of carbs into a single gel you can see why, two of these and you’ll be set for an hour, although with the way pro cyclists fuel these days, they’ll probably be aiming for three at the Tour de France.
For Prime Day you can get a 30-pack for £35.65… which is a fair bit more than 20 High5 gels for a tenner, but this is pro-level nutrition after all, and you are saving 30% off the RRP. The deal’s best if you’re happy with orange flavour, the strawberry and lime, and unflavoured packs a bit more expensive. Or just stick to jelly babies and Jaffa Cakes, your bank balance will thank you.
A wee bit more storage for a wee bit less, save £4 on Fizik's mini saddle bag
This Fizik saddle bag is down to £21.29 for Prime Day, a saving of around £4 on its retail price. It’s apparently got room for a spare inner tube, CO2 cartridge and inflator, tyre levers and a multi tool. As well as “maybe also some cash and an emergency gel”. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with cash and emergency gel included. For full transparency, Tweeks Cycles has this at £19.99 and Bikeparts.co.uk is selling it for £20.50, so if you can get some free delivery from them it will be cheaper to go there. With Prime’s free delivery, you might still be better of with Bezos, assuming you’re paying for delivery with other retailers.
Discounts on Kryptonite bike locks: 20% off the Kryptolok Standard U-Lock, 15% off the Evolution Standard U-Lock and 15% off the Evolution Chain Lock
If you’re looking for a way to keep your pride and joy safe(ish) when locked up around town, a range of Kryptonite bike locks are discounted at Amazon this week.
The Evolution Standard U-Lock for example, has a Sold Secure Gold rating and is now reduced to £47.69. It features 14mm hardened steel shackle and double deadbolt design, said to be “resilient to drilling, picking and twisting”.
Save 15% on the Kryptonite Evolution Standard U-Lock, just £47.69
Save 20% on the Standard Bicycle U-Lock w/4-foot Flex Cable, now down to £35.99
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine by De'Longhi now more than half price, down to just £89
If you’re serious – but not too snobby – about your pre-, mid- or post-ride coffee, the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine is now just £89, down from £199. That’s over £100 off, and the deal includes the machine, a milk frother, and a starter capsule set.
Shokz OpenMove Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones now just £55 (31% off)
The open-ear design of these wireless headphones allows you to listen to music or podcasts as you ride without traffic noise being blocked out. The OpenMove is the brand’s accessible way of trying bone conduction headphones and reviewer Steve Williams found they’re light, effective and comfortable. Check out our review here.
The ergonomic wraparound design means they should stay put and work with helmets. The OpenMove also comes with a two-year warranty.
The original Peloton spin bike is now down to £1,279.20, that's 20% off the RRP
The main thing preventing a lot of hardened indoor cyclists from exploring Peloton was the near two-grand price tag when it launched – but a few years (and some quite bad PR) later, you can now get the original Peloton bike for over £300 off with this Prime Day deal.
If you don’t fancy signing up to the Peloton subscription and doing the workouts with a host of shouty yet motivational virtual instructors, Peloton can connect to all your favourite apps via Bluetooth too.
Another solid Kryptonite lock deal: the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini U-Lock is down to £89.69
An OG in compact bike security, the New York Fahgettaboudit is usually approaching the £100 mark at other retailers – even with discounts – so this is the lowest price you’ll find for it currently.
Although it’s not as grinder-proof as the latest generation of super heavy duty locks like Kryptonite’s own New York Diamond, the Fahgettaboudit does have a Sold Secure Gold rating, and will resist bolt cropper attacks all day long.
Buy the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini U-Lock for £89.69, saving 25%
Tru-Tension's Tyre Monkey is down from £9.99 to £7.99
This patent-pending tyre level keeps your hand at 90 degrees while removing the tyre, stopping you from hitting the spokes while trying to remove tough tyres. It also means you shouldn’t need multiple levers to remove very stubborn tyres.
Park Tool's excellent CT-3.3 chain tool is down to £28.09, 30% off the RRP
There are cheaper chain tools, but few with the hallowed reputation of this one from Park Tool.
A favourite among road.cc staffers, the CT-3.3 will break almost any chain, feels great in your hands, and is built to survive a nuclear blast.
Fenwick's All Conditions Chain Lube is down to £7.89 at Amazon... or £5.50 at Merlin Cycles
Fenwicks lubes come highly rated from road.cc and off.road.cc reviewers, and the all-weather version has a decent discount for Prime Day… but not as decent as the discount at Merlin Cycles, we discovered, who are selling it a fair bit cheaper at just £5.50 a bottle.
There are no 0.000456-watt saving claims here, just quality, efficient lubrication for your chain to use year-round at a very reasonably price. You’ll need to spend £60 for free delivery at Merlin and the delivery costs £3.95, so we’ve put both the Merlin and Amazon links below if the latter still works out cheaper for you.
Grab 100ml of Fenwicks All Conditions Chain Lube for just £5.50 at Merlin Cycles (£3.95 delivery, or free with a £60 spend)
Get it for 7.89 at Amazon (free delivery with Amazon Prime
22% off Sony WF-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds
The Sony WF-1000XM5 Earbuds are wireless, bluetooth noise cancelling earbuds making them a great choice for getting in the zone for those indoor turbo sessions.
They have a claimed battery life of up to eight hours and feature an IPX4 water resistance rating.
Disocunted Wahoo heart rate monitors, now up to 25% off
For measuring your heart rate, there are some highly-rated monitors from Wahoo discounted on Amazon.
The Wahoo Trackr Heart Rate monitor is an excellent heart rate monitor with an adjustable chest strap and rechargable battery.
If you prefer an arm strap, Wahoo’s Tickr Fit Heart Rate Armband connects to all your favourite devices and apps, tracks heart rate and calories and also features a rechargeable battery.

The Gorewear C5 Opti Bib Shorts + are down to under £50
Interested in a very decent pair of bibshorts for less than £50? Thought you might be, Gorewear’s C5 Opti shorts reduced to £45.89 from £54 for Prime Day. There are three colours and plenty of sizes to choose from, so there should be something for everyone.
45% off Muc-Off bike cleaner
5 litres of bike-cleaning goodness from Muc-Off is now available for £19, down from the RRP of £34.52. That’s a mega 45 per cent discount. Be warned, you’ll have one less excuse for not cleaning your bike though, but then again if it gets you into a positive habit of giving your pride and joy the once over more regularly then that’s probably for the best. Spend more time cleaning your bike, less time and money down the road when things don’t wear out as quick. That’s the plan.

It's time (again)... welcome to our July Prime Day live blog
Thankfully the days of physically fighting for TVs at the shops are mostly a thing of the past at big sales events; ironically because there seems to be so many of them nowadays that there’s little point, as there are bargains to be had year-round.
Take this July Prime Day, for example. It’s running for a whole three days this week, and there will be another one in October, and then Black Friday, and Cyber Monday etc etc… but if there’s a cycling thing you have your eye on and it’s cheaper during this Amazon sales event, you might as well take advantage.
As usual, we’ll only show you deals that we’re confident are the best around currently, and if The Bezos is telling fibs about any Prime Day deals being the best prices when you can actually find them cheaper elsewhere, we’ll point you to the better offer. We’ll keep adding deals over the three days, and round up our top deals of the day at the top of the page as more come through. You’ll need an Amazon Prime Membership to take advantage of the deals, but you can always just sign up for a free trial and sack it off afterwards if there’s just one or two things you’ve got your eye on.
Capiche? Let the capitalism commence!

A couple of days ago I experienced a very clear cut case where I was riding in a narrow section of side road between parked cars and a car turned into the side road straddling the white line at the junction and entered the narrow section I was already in not leaving me any room to pass. I was forced to stop and yet the driver took umbrage. I'm sure most readers on here have experienced this situation many times if not experienced it as a daily occurrence and had to take evasive action in order to avoid collisions. I reported the incident to the police with very clear video evidence. It is a clear breach of Highway Code rules 213 and 183. In light of the WYP prosecution one would expect that the police should also prosecute my case quite vigorously as this case was much more serious. However I don't expect they will take this up so this will be an interesting if predictable test.
You say that ITV 'lost' the broadcasting rights, I thought ITV declined to put a bid in as they were looking to cut costs.
There you go again
Marginal margins.
The covid / post-covid boom is driven primarily by failures of capitalist strategy, causing over supply and price gouging. What we are seeing now is the correction. Most so-called ‘Western brands’ bikes are made in Eastern countries anyway - who have long been the leading manufacturers of carbon bikes. Now these makers are becoming brands / sellers too and Western brands have been put on notice. Inflation is driven by greed, not need.
@Benthic A125 motorbike can be ridden by a 17 year old can do about 75MPH; a legal e-bike that a 17-year-old cannot use can do about 15MPH.
The latest moral panic. "From August, the legal age to ride an e-scooter in Ireland will rise from 16 to 18" But, in Ireland you can still drive a: - moped from the age of 16 - 125 cc motorbike from the age of 17 - 3.5 tonne car from the age of 17 So that makes complete sense.
@mitsky I am seeing those Amazon ones in Manchester pretty much every day.
Quite. There's also a demand side story to accompany your eloquently written post, in that domestic demand has dampened from the captive COVID market of a few years back, and less international demand due to tariff-led policies and anti-dumping laws. On Chinese competition, I don't think it's necessarily Western profit-seeking behaviour which has caused increased Chinese supply and competitiveness as much as higher Chinese investment leading to higher quality output, innovation, and economies of scale. I don't know about Chinese frames as I haven't bought one and haven't seen one, but for wheels I don't see any inherent quality advantage for Western brands. Indeed, innovation seems to be coming from Chinese brands along with lower prices, just like we're seeing with electric cars. So higher quality and lower prices.
They should concentrate on the road users who do most of the killing and injuring: car drivers.

No-one likes the fact that Amazon pays no UK tax, blocks unions and treats workers like utter scum. But sadly so many people are too lazy and selfish to change their buying habits.
The Viz 150 is a great rear light and currently £18 at Halfords. I would far rather give my money to them (or a bit more to my LBS).
