Save 30% on Continental GP5000 S TR tyres
Continental’s GP5000 S TR tyres are a stable in the pro peloton. They are tubeless-ready and compatible with hookless rims, and combine impressively low rolling resistance with excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions.
They deliver race-day performance without sacrificing durability, with our reviewer saying they “can handle a season of racing, and some”.
Available in widths from 25mm to 35mm, the GP5000 S TR has an RRP of £84.95 but is currently discounted at Merlin Cycles.

Buy Giro’s Imperial II Shoes for £299
Earlier this year, Giro updated two of its flagship performance shoes, the Imperial II and Empire SLX II, claiming they deliver “superior performance”. We’ve already seen French rider Paul Seixas racing in Giro shoes, and you can currently pick up the Boa-equipped Imperial II for £299 – a saving of £101 off the RRP.
Giro says the Imperial II “delivers every feature the fastest racers demand”. The latest version features a new forged carbon outsole, which the brand claims increases stiffness by 20Nm.

Get up to 50% off Sungod sunglasses
Sungod, the official eyewear partner of WorldTour team Ineos Grenadiers, are offering up to 50% off their sunglasses in a mid-season sale.
You can choose from their casual or performance sunglasses, including models like the black and gold Airas pictured above, which scored highly in our road.cc review and are down to just £80.
SRAM’s top-tier Red Hydraulic Groupset is over £900 off
While few of us need the level of performance that SRAM’s top-tier groupset offers, it’s a stunning groupset both in terms of performance and ergonomics, and is the groupset of choice for seven of the 18 WorldTour teams.
According to our reviewer, the quality is “top notch throughout”, making it one of the very best electronic groupsets available.
The complete groupset has an RRP of £4,144, but Fawkes Cycles is currently offering it for £3,225, a saving of 22%.

The helmet of choice for Tadej Pogačar and the UAE Team Emirates XRG team is the Met Trenta 3K Carbon, which you can now pick up for £279, down from £350, at J’s Cycles.
The new vent configuration and the carbon ‘Airframe’ reduces the amount of foam used have apparently led to a 16 per cent improvement in airflow, and at 260g for a medium it is quite light.
Although it’s expensive, it boasts world class safety credentials with a five star Virginia Tech rating, thanks to the Mips Air Node liner.

Buy Look Keo Blade pedals for less than £100 from Bike Inn
Since their debut in 2011, the Look Keo Blade Pedals have been a fixture in the professional peloton. The concept has always been the same: replacing the clipless pedal’s traditional steel retention spring with a carbon leaf spring – the ‘blade’. The result is a lighter, sleeker and supposedly more aero pedal, which is now in its third major update.
With an RRP of £140 these deliver pro-level performance, low weight, long-term durability and at a reasonable price, and are now available for just £93.99.
