2024 Specialized S-Works Evade 3 helmet

Specialized claims the S-Works Evade 3 is the most aerodynamic helmet in the peloton, without compromising airflow, weight or comfort.

Shimano's Ultegra 12-speed Di2 groupset is down to £1,280 from £2,279.89

@024 Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset

Shimano's 12-speed Ultegra is one of the only groupsets to receive a 10/10 rating on road.cc, and can now be picked up for quite a bit less than the RRP.

Shimano's second-tier groupset provides the majority of the performance of the top-tier Dura-Ace groupset, but at a significantly reduced price. Ultegra retains all the functionality of the range topping Dura-Ace groupset with a very small weight penalty, that for most of us will make the most negligible of differences.

The Diluvio also features an extended cuff and a grip print on the palm. You can grab a pair now for £29, which is 38% off the original price.

10% off Garmin Rally RS200 Dual-sensing Power Meter Pedals

2024 Garmin Rally Dual sided power meter pedals

The Rally RS200 Dual-sensing Power Meter pedals are now 10% off at Balfe's, down to £693.

These power pedals are compatible with Shimano SPD-SL road style cleats, but you can buy extra pedal bodies and swap over the power-reading spindle so they work with Look Keo style cleats or even off-road pedals, for accurate data across disciplines. 

Garmin claims the Rally power meter pedals are accurate to within +/- 1 per cent of the unit itself. So, at 300 watts, the readings should always be between 297 and 303 watts. This is enough accuracy for keeping in the intended training zone for riding at the right intensity to get the benefits you're after for that workout.
