New-Year bike sales USA: The best deals and where to find the cycling sales

Pinarello F7 Ultegra: $8,800 $7,050 at Competitive Cyclist
20% off: I tested this exact bike in spain, in the UK, and in the alps (including some ill-advised gravel riding). It handles sublimely, it looks fantastic, and it's over a thousand dollars off. The even more fancy Dura-Ace equipped version is also reduced, but in my opinion it's not really a necessary upgrade.

Pearl Izumi Expedition bib shorts: $125 $75 at Competitive Cyclist
40% off: These are some of my favourite cargo bib shorts. The straps are among the most comfy on the market, the pockets are well sized and secure, and the leg grippers aren't too aggressive, while still keeping everything in place.

Castelli Free Aero RC Classic bib shorts: $219.99 $131.99 at Competitive Cyclist
40% off: These are widely regarded as some of the best cycling shorts on the market, from one of the most trusted clothing brands out there. The sizing is Italian though, so you may need to size up. 

Gore Shakedry 1985 Jacket: $300 $225 at Competitive Cyclist
25% off: Shakedry is perhaps as good as waterproof jackets for cycling will ever get. It's been discontinued, so this may well be the last chance ever to snag a truly incredible piece of wet weather tech. Amazingly breathable, phenominally waterproof, and packs down to nothing.

Assos Mille GT Ultraz Evo Jacket: $369.00 $258.30 at Competitive Cyclist
30% off: Assos is renowned for making exceptional winter gear, and this winter jacket is no exception. It easily sits in our guide to the best winter cycling jackets, and mixes breathability, warmth, and wind resistence very well indeed.

Cannondale SuperSix Evo Force AXS: $6,549.99 $4,799.95 at Mike's Bikes
27% off: While this isn't the very latest model (it's the 2022 version), it's still a great bike. The geometry is totally unchanged compared to the latest version so it will handle the same. You'll save a fair wedge of cash for a small reduction in aerodynamic efficiency. 

Muc-Off Tyre Levers: $4.99 at Competitive Cyclist
These are the best tyre levers. That's it; that's all there is to say. They're the only ones our writer Will takes out with him or uses in his home workshop. They're so good that we removed everything else from our buyer's guide. They're now almost half price too. 

Supacaz Fly Cage Ano: $27.00 $12.15 at Competitive Cyclist
55% off - Supacaz is a brand synonymous with blinging up your bike. Alongside its bar tape and anodized bolts, the brand's bottle cages are a relatively affordable way to add some personality and style to your machine. The Fly Cage might be shown in black in our choice of image, but it comes in eight other colours all with a solid 55% discount. 

Shimano SPD SL cleats: $31.00 $22.99 at Jenson USA
26% off - Not the most exciting of things to buy for yourself, but if you're more interested in a practical purchase, then a new - or spare - pair of cleats are always handy.

Fizik Tempo Microtex Classic Bar Tape: $34.99 $29.00 at Backcountry
17% off - One of the easiest and most affordable ways to give your bike a bit of a spruce up is to change over the bar tape to something fresh and new. If you're a fan of fun, bright colours, you can save a nice amount on Fizik's Tempo Microtex Classic bar tape in orange.

Time Xpresso 2 Pedals: $69.00 $34.50 at Competitive Cyclist
50% off - You don't often see Time pedals these days, but their fanbase is loyal, they're really lightweight, and following the brand's transition into the SRAM umbrella, it's making a strong resurgence. 

Specialized Echelon MIPS| 55% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $99.99 | Now $44.99
When it comes to budget helmets, Specialized's Echelon II MIPS packs quite a punch, with rotational safety built-in, an ergonomic design, and a fit system that can be paired with the brand's ANGi crash sensor.

Giro Caden MIPS| 50% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $94.95 | Now from $47.48
The Giro Caden is a stylish commuter-style helmet with MIPS technology and a removable soft brim to block the sun or rain. A helmet with MIPS technology is a great buy and the matte grey option has 50% off in three sizes. 

Specialized Propero MIPS| 57% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $149.99 | Now $64.99
This helmet from Specialized offers another great deal to get access to MIPS technology at just $65.00. The Propero is available in only the black colour now.

Giro Cinder MIPS| 55% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $159.95 | Now $71.98
The Cinder is a solid lightweight option from Giro with MIPS technology for added safety in the event of a crash. It's available for 55% off in the black colourway.

Chrome Barrage Backpack: $165 $95.99 at Chrome
41% off - Well made, impervious to water, cool looking, and extremely utilitarian. It'll last you for years, and you can fit more or less anything into the cargo net. If we had to use only one backpack from here on in, it would be this one, and it's for those reasons this won our award for best cycling backpack overall. 

Apple AirPods 2nd Gen: $129.99 $99.00 at Amazon
Save 23% - The 2nd Gen of the base model AirPods might have a slightly less premium sound quality and come with a slightly shorter feature list compared to the Pro, but if you're after a more affordable option, they're still a great pair. 

Specialized Torch 3.0 Cycling Shoes: $229.99 $114.99  at Competitive Cyclist
50% off - Competitive Cyclist has this grey colour of Specialized's Torch 3.0 in a full range of sizes and a smattering of sizes available in other colours as well. The Torch 3.0 has two Boas for adjustability and includes Specialized's BG features for pedalling comfort.

Giro Empire ACC Women's: $299.95 $119.99 at Competitive Cyclist
Up to 60% off - If you wear a size 37-43 and like these shoes in black, then you're in for a serious bargain, but you have to be quick because they won't hang around. There's a discount on white too.

Specialized Men's Prime Alpha jacket: $249.99 $149.99 at The Pro's Closet
Save 40% - Our tech editor has been using this jacket since the start of the year and it's his go-to cold-weather outer layer. It's not totally waterproof, but the inner Alpha material is cosy and it has a casual fit that looks good on both road and gravel rides. It's so good he actually owns two of them, and continues to wear the one that he put a hole in the elbow on when crashing. 

Specialized S-Works Recon Lace: $324.99 $161.99 at Competitive Cyclist
50% off - The S-Works Recon shoes can tackle mud, gravel, and mountain bike duties. The 50% discount applies to the oak green and black versions. There's less discount but more cleaning if you want white. Check out our full review where we wondered if they were the fastest off-road shoes on the market. 

Garmin Forerunner 945: $499.99 $299.99 at Amazon
40% off - The Garmin Forerunner 945 is broadly similar to the 735 above but with improved hardware, battery life, more durable glass, a temperature sensor and the ability to flag up irregular heart rates. There's also Garmin Pay to handle your contactless payments which the 735 doesn't have.  

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: $399.99 $339.99 at Amazon
15% off - With its big screen, long list of features and ability to connect to pretty much every relevant aftermarket sensor on the market, the Edge 1030 Plus is a serious piece of kit. It's a hard one to decide between the Roam and this at the same price, but we'd probably go with this for the touchscreen. 

Enve x SciCon AeroComfort 3.0 TSA Travel Case: $949.99 $379.60 at Competitive Cyclist
60% off - The Scicon AeroComfort 3 TSA is one of the best bike travel bags on the market. The fact that there's an Enve logo on this one is little more than a design collaboration and therefore a bit irrelevant really. If you're a fan of the Enve brand (who isn't?) then it's nice, but the biggest draw is the 60% saving. 

Radio Bike Co. Zuma 24" | 44% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $709.99 | Now $399.00
For older kids, Competitive Cyclist has the Radio Bike Co. Zuma on sale in the 24" wheel size bike. It has a quoted weight of 25 lbs with disc brakes and a comfortable geometry that's perfect for learning the basics. 

Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Solar: $749.99 $477.99 at Amazon
36% off -  The Fenix 6 Pro Solar is an ideal multisport watch, much like the standard Fenix 6, but with some added features. There's more internal storage, fall detection and the ability to track water intake to name a few, plus solar charging which is a great feature if you are outdoors and on to go a lot. 

Co-op Cycles Generation e1.1 Electric Bike: $1,499.00 $899.39 at REI
Save 40% - The Co-op e1.1 is a clever Class 1 city e-bike that is easy to ride, nicely manoeuvrable on tight pathways, and boasts a 350w motor that'll go for 30-40 miles. Complete with 20in wheels wrapped in 2.4in tyres abd a front suspension fork, it'll handle rough surfaces when required, and can carry your luggage on the large rear rack. 

Tacx Neo 2T: $1399.99 $999.99 at Amazon
29% off - The Neo 2T is a high-spec indoor trainer with an electronic flywheel that offers real-world levels of inertia, as well as advanced pedalling analysis and cool features like rumbling when your Zwift avatar goes over rough surfaces. It's been around for a while, so it misses things like WiFi connectivity (as per Wahoo Kickr V6), but it's still among the best trainers around. If the high spec and accurate power readings are important to you, then this is a good deal worth considering. 

Specialized Turbo Como SL 4.0: $3,999.99 $2,499.95 at Mike's Bikes
38% off - The Turbo Como SL comes with Specialized's lighter weight motor with 35Nm torque and an enclosed down tube battery. It's all ready for jaunts around the city.
