After-Christmas sales: The best cycling deals for 2024

S-Works Evade 3 Mips Helmet: $299.99 $179.99 at Competitive Cyclist
40% off - Awarded the best overall helmet in both our guide to the best aero helmets and best road bike helmets, the Evade III is my favourite by far. It tested as the fastest road helmet (excluding the wild TT-styled Poc Procen Air) in our wind tunnel helmet test. It is reasonably lightweight. It's also well vented, comfy, and looks super stylish.

Wahoo Kickr V6: $1,299.99 $999.99 at Wahoo
23% off - At full price we think the Kickr V6 is just pipped to the 'best overall' spot by the Elite Justo 2. However, taking into account this $300 discount, we think the Kickr V6 is the best one to buy right now. It's already our top pick for anyone interested in racing indoors, and only really misses out on pedalling analysis.

Features in - Best smart trainers

Wahoo Kickr Move: $1,599.99 $999.95 at Mikes Bikes
38% off - With the same specs as the Kickr V6, plus an eight-inch rolling track that lets your trainer slide back and forth, this is a much better deal on paper. We've included both models here though because not everyone who uses the Kickr Move likes the movement, its ability to rock left and right, or its near-30kg unit weight. 

S-Works Torch: $449.95 $292.49 at Competitive Cyclist
35% off - Our pick of the best cycling shoes on the market at the moment, the S-Works Torch offer exceptional comfort, a stiff sole, easy Boa dial tightening, and they look great. The best price is only available in a few sizes now, but if you're interested in the best and don't want to pay full price, it's worth checking if these are available in your size. 

Cervelo Aspero AXS Exclusive: $4,300 $2,900 at Competitive Cyclist
33% off - The Aspero Apex AXS is a racy gravel bike from Cervelo. There's actually a handful of different Aspero 5 models on offer, with different specs and price points, but this particular model is our pick, at 25% off in a good range of sizes.

Garmin Varia RTL515 rearview radar/taillight: $199.99 $149.98 at Amazon
25% off - Increase your road presence and keep aware of what's happening behind with Garmin's rearview radar. It will pair with the best cycling computers and Garmin smartwatches to alert you to approaching vehicles and also serve as a taillight. 

Pinarello F7 Ultegra: $8,200 $7,000 at Competitive Cyclist
20% off: This bike handles sublimely, it looks fantastic, and it has over a thousand dollars off. The even more fancy Dura-Ace equipped version is also available, but in my opinion, it's not really a necessary upgrade.

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. 

Assos Mille GT Ultraz Evo Jacket: $369.00 $295.20 at Competitive Cyclist
20% 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 resistance very well indeed.

Muc-Off Tyre Levers: $5.99 $4.49 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. 

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.

Giro Caden MIPS| 55% off at Competitive Cyclist
Was $94.95 | Now from $42.73
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 over 50% off in two sizes and two colours. 

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 two colourways.

Chrome Barrage 18L Backpack: $150.00 $89.99 at Chrome
40% 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 $89.00 at Amazon
Save 31% - The 2nd Gen of the base model AirPods might have a slightly less premium sound quality and come with a shorter feature list compared to the newer models, but if you're after a more affordable option, they're still a great pair. 

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 S-Works Recon Lace 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 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 $898.93 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 $899.40 at Amazon
36% 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 the 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.
