We’re hitting sales season again, as numerous brands and retailers announce their summer sales. We’ve found some of the top deals on the web on mountain bikes, gravel bikes, e-mtbs and city bikes, with some very impressive savings across the board. We’ll start with an almost-too-good-to-be-true gravel bike deal if you’re after a mega bargain, but we’re hitting all price ranges if you’re after something more high-end…

Get the Calibre Lost Lad gravel bike (size L) for the crazy price of £349 with a Go Outdoors membership card
If you can work with a large frame and have a Go Outdoors membership card (just a fiver for the year) you can take advantage of this crazy deal from the retailer on its Lost Lad gravel bike.
Just £349 gets you a full bike with a 6061 aluminium frame, 16-speed Shimano Claris groupset and WTB Horizon tan wall tyres, plus mechanical disc brakes for easy maintenance. Even the £600 RPP is a steal, but at the £349 price you can be a lost lad (or lass) with some change in your back pocket for treats while you try to find your way back home…
While we’ve never reviewed this bike (we might get one if there are any left after this article goes live, though) we have spoken highly of Calibre bikes before, awarding the budget Bossnut full-sus hardtail full marks for being “the best value bike out there”.

Also from Calibre: Line T3 29″ hardtail down to £899 from £1,300, Polygon Collosus N9 down to just £2,199
Also getting a healthy discount at Go Outdoors is the Line T3 29″, that is currently down to £899 with a membership card. You’re getting a full SRAM 1X11 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and 29er wheels and tyres (as the name suggests)… a whole lot of bike for your money, and sizes S, M and L are all still in stock at the time of writing.

Your final deal from Go Outdoors (it’s worth browsing the whole mtb section though, as there a quite a few more), is this stonking offer on the Polygon Collosus N9 full-sus mountain bike, down to £2,199 from £3,350… and yep, you guessed it, you’ll need to factor in an additional fiver for the membership card if you don’t already have one.
There’s very little compromise on this enduro rig, that features an IFS 6 bar linkage rear suspension, Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain and a modern, slack geometry with plenty of reach. 29″ x x2.60″ tyres will see you through the roughest of off-road terrain, ready to tear up the trails.

Trek Slash+ 9.9 XO AXS T-Type: was £11,000, now slashed down to £7,699
Moving right to the other end of the price point scale (save for the healthy discount on the RRP) the top-of-the-range Trek Slash+ 9.9 is now down to £7,699 at Wheelebase, a huge saving of £3,300 over the original price. You could buy a lot of Calibre Lost Lads for that!
This e-mtb takes the high pivot, enduro-fuelled goodness of the regular, leg-powered Slash and equips it with a TQ HPR50 motor and a 580Wh battery. Running a RockShox ZEB Ultimate with 170mm of travel paired with a Vivid Ultimate shock, this build of the Slash+ brings wireless shifting from SRAM and the XO AXS T-Type drivetrain. A pair of SRAM Maven brakes slow things down while the OCLV carbon fibre frame does what it can to drop some grams.
Wheelbase only have size large left, but you can still save £2,000 direct on the Trek website if you’re after another size.

The Trek Fuel EXe 8 XT is now down to £3,495 at Blazing Bikes, saving you £1000s over Trek’s RRP
Speaking of TQ-equipped e-mountain bikes, it comes as no surprise that Trek’s Fuel EXe is hitting the sales. Now replaced with the updated Fuel+, this build of the Fuel EXe benefits from some big savings, the best discounts currently available at Blazing Bikes.
For £3,495, you get an alloy frame, a TQ HPR50 motor, and a 360Wh battery. The build is a little more basic with a Fox Rhythm 36 fork and Performance Float X shock, but it’s all kit that works rather well. The bike runs a Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain with Shimano M6100/M6120 brakes. This is a 29er, too, and expect a medium frame to weigh a respectable 20.2 kilos.

Save on Specialized: the Stumpjumper 15 Fox Coil Alloy trail bike is down to £3,899 at Tredz, saving you £1,100
A classic mtb with plenty of modern features, the Stumpjumper in its Fox Coil Alloy guise is a full-sus trail bike that can make mincemeat of rough terrain and technical trails alike.
You get a tough alloy frame, high quality, responsive suspension and 6-way adjustable geometry, that allows you to easily adjust the head angle between 63° and 65.5° via the eccentric upper headset cup. It’s a lot of tech for your money, and you can make a hefty saving if you invest now.

This massive deal on the Transition Smuggler Carbon MTB takes a huge 45% off the RRP: down to £3,574.45 from an RRP of £6,499.00
We couldn’t quite believe our eyes when we saw the savings to be had on this highly-rated trail bike, but the Transition Smuggler Carbon – complete with SRAM Eagle shifting – is indeed discounted by 45% at British distributor Windwave currently.
The Smuggler comes with 29-inch wheels, and 130mm rear and 140mm front travel, making it one of the most versatile bikes in Transition’s range. It sits between the Spur and Sentinel models in terms of travel, geometry and capability, borrowing from both to create a unique bike for all types of trail riding.
All sizes apart from small are still in stock… don’t miss out if you’re after a very capable trail bike for less!
