There are some standout cycling deals this week, with savings across bikes, clothing and tools. Highlights include £900 off the Specialized Crux Comp gravel bike, big savings on cycling kit from Rapha and dhb, and Oakley Sphaera sunglasses for £109. Let’s get into them.
Save £900 on a Specialized Crux Comp Gravel Bike
Crux is Specialized’s premium gravel bike that comes with a lot of characteristics borrowed from both its cyclo-cross history and featherweight Aethos road bike, and it’s described by the brand as “the world’s lightest gravel bike”.
The frame of the Crux Comp is made with Specialized’s 10R carbon, which is a notch down from the top S-Works level and has a claimed weight of 825g, complete with a Shimano GRX 12-speed groupset. There’s also clearance for 47mm tyres but this is shipped out with DT Swiss rims wrapped in 40mm Pathfinder tyres.
You can now save £900 on this 2026 model from Sigma Sports, with stock currently in sizes 52cm-61cm.

Get a pair of Oakley Sphaera sunglasses for £109
Good coverage and a sizeable discount make the Oakley Sphaera sunglasses well worth a look. They are wide, tall shades designed to provide extensive eye protection, with Oakley claiming they offer 11% more surface area than the Radar EV.
According to the brand, the Sphaera was developed using feedback from professional athletes across multiple sports and is intended for ‘multisport’ use, although the shape and ventilation are well suited to cycling.
This black frame with a red lens is currently heavily discounted at Sigma Sports, reduced to £109 from £191.

Pick up Rapha’s Core Gilet for £46
A gilet is a simple bit of kit that earns its place year-round – ideal for cooler starts, breezy descents, or throwing on during a café stop.
The Rapha Core Gilet packs down small enough to slip into a jersey pocket when not in use, making it an easy layer to carry on every ride. It’s currently 46% off at Sigma Sports, available in both Navy and Paprika colourways.
Key features include a two-way zip for easy on-the-move ventilation and access to jersey pockets, reflective detailing to improve visibility in low light, and a PFC-free DWR treatment on the main body to help shed light showers.

Save over half price on Lazer’s Vento KinetiCore Helmet, now £109.99
The Lazer Vento KinetiCore is an impressive helmet that earned an 8/10 in its road.cc review. George praised its excellent airflow, secure fit system and comfort.
Lazer’s KinetiCore technology is the brand’s alternative to MIPS. Rather than allowing controlled rotational movement between the helmet and your head, it uses EPS foam crumple zones to help dissipate impact energy. Independent testing by Virginia Tech awarded it a five-star safety rating.
This Matt Titanium version is now available for just £109.99, reduced from its £249.99 RRP – a substantial 56% saving. The black and white colour options are also discounted at other retailers, although not quite as heavily.
Buy now from Primera Sports for £109.99
Get the dhb Long Sleeve Jersey for just £18, that’s 70% off
The dhb Long Sleeve Jersey works well as a standalone layer for cooler summer starts or evening rides, but also slots easily into a layering system for year-round use when temperatures drop.
On the practical side, it includes three rear pockets plus a zipped valuables pocket, while mesh panels are designed to improve airflow and help regulate temperature on the move.
Both the Firey Red and Mountain View colourways are currently reduced to just £18, with sizes available from Small through to 2XL.

The HXS-1.2 Hex Wrench Set from Park Tool is a selection of eights metric hex wrenches from 2 to 10mm sizes designed to be kept in your garage or shed for home maintenance tasks.
The wrenches are made from 8650 Cr-Vn tool steel and also feature a balldriver tip on the long arm (except on the 8mm and 10mm sizes) to help you access more awkwardly placed bolts

TPU tubes for less with 49% off Pirelli’s SmarTUBE P Zero EVO Inner Tube
If you want to shed some weight off your bike, TPU tubes are a great place to start, and the Pirelli SmarTUBE P Zero EVO inner tube has a claimed weight of just 38g (42mm valve) and promises “increased acceleration, quicker climbing, and improved handling”.
While they are considerably more expensive than standard inner tubes, Pirelli’s SmarTUBE P Zero EVO inner tube is currently down to £16.99 at Tredz (49% off) in 25-28mm widths and with either 42, 60 or 80mm valves.
The SmarTUBE Evo TPU inner tubes are designed to pair with Pirelli’s P Zero tyre range, but they can also be used with other compatible road bike tyres provided you choose the correct size and valve length.
Silca’s Chain Waxing Bundle is 33% off, now down to £119.95
“The best chain treatment ever tested is the Secret Chain Blend Wax,” Silca claims. “This can save 6-8 watts over some of the lower-end chain lubes out there.” There are various watt-saving claims associated with chain waxing by reducing drivetrain friction, which can minimises energy loss while also preventing premature wear.
The Silca Chain Waxing Bundle has an RRP of £180 and, according to the brand, “will allow you to degrease and wax a new bike chain with no prep and minimal effort”. Included in the package are the Silca StripChip Hot Melt Chain Degreaser, Silca Secret Chain Blend Hot Melt Wax (500g) and the Silca Ultimate Chain Waxing System.

Crux with mechanical GRX is not a bargain at £2.500, it’s just the base price it should always have been (like most ‘sale’ prices these days).
