Amazon Prime Day cycling deals: Save on bike locks, tech, accessories and more
Amazon 'Big Deal Days' Prime sale is here, our experts have scoured the sales to bring you the best deals out there
Welcome to day two of Cyclingnews' coverage of the Amazon Prime Day cycling deals, where we've curated a carefully chosen selection of the best deals available for cyclists, interspersed with helpful advice on what to buy and perhaps what to avoid.
To use its full name, the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale event runs from the 8th to the 9th of October, meaning we're currently in the throes of the sale's final furore. With that said, the sale will mark the beginning of a longer-term period of deals as retailers gear up for the full-blown Black Friday sales later next month.
Throughout the year at Cyclingnews, we spend a lot of time testing products, writing reviews, compiling buying guides and ultimately doing everything we can to help our readers choose the best product when buying cycling gear and equipment. The natural extension of that is to help our readers find good deals when they become available on products we recommend and to adjust our advice where a price drop makes a different product a better choice.
Amazon Prime Day is an event where deals generally become available in spades, and the price fluctuations happen so fast that the feeds that power our buying guide purchase links can't keep up, so that's our focus right now.
Everything you see here was written by one of the Cyclingnews team. As ever we've manually checked every deal on this page and accompanied it with as much useful information as we could. We haven't recommended you buy any old tat just because it's been reduced; all the products below are ones we'd happily buy and use ourselves.
To take advantage of the Amazon Prime Day cycling deals, you'll need to be signed up for Amazon Prime. Amazon offers a free trial period for new users, but you can cancel your trial before the first payment is taken.

Amazon Prime Day cycling deals USA
Oakley Sutro sunglasses: $192 $115.20 at Amazon
The Sutro has been a popular pair of shades from Oakley for several years now. Several variants and colourways are discounted in the sale to varying degrees. They aren't the cheapest they have ever been but they have a healthy discount.
Wahoo Kickr Core: $500 $425 at Amazon
We make this to be the cheapest the Kickr Core smart trainer has been on Amazon. At this point, the Kickr Core is a classic. It's a proven and dependable direct drive smart trainer that we rate highly. However, bear in mind that if you need a cassette, you're better off buying it at Zwift, where you'll get a choice to suit your bike, as well as a free pair of Zwift Play controllers for $499.99.
Wahoo Elemnt Roam: $399.99 $339.74 at Amazon
Several Wahoo items are discounted this Prime Day sale including the V2 Elemnt Roam which is the Bolt's bigger brother. This is a solid price, but not the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon. I've used the Roam in multiple countries and it has always been excellent, a brilliant smart computer option.
Garmin Edge 1040 smart computer: $599.99 $499.99 at Amazon
17% off - The Garmin 1050 price has gone up slightly for the second day of the sales. It's discounted right now, probably in part due to the fact the new 1050 unit launched a few months back. The 1040 is still a very competitive computer packed with features. Pretty much more than most riders will ever need.
Saris H3 Plus (12-speed compatible): $699.99 $399.99 at Amazon
Save 38% - The H3 Plus takes the H3 platform and adapts it for use with a 12-speed cassette. It's a quiet, direct-drive smart trainer that once upon a time was priced at well over $1000 (before Saris reduced the retail price to $650. Its fold-out feet and carry handle make it good for portability, and this sub-$400 price make it one of the best-value options at the moment (though it doesn't come with a cassette so you'll need to factor that in).
POC Octal X Mips helmet: $249.95 $133.62 at Amazon
47% off - The POC Octal helmet is also carrying a healthy 47% discount at the moment in a size small which POC recommend for roughly a 50-56cm head circumference. It's a stylish helmet that will suit a range of cycling disciplines and also features MIPS safety technology.
Le Col Pro Long Sleeve Jersey: $205 $123 at Amazon
40% off - The Le Col Pro Long Sleeve Jersey has a hefty discount at the moment in the Red colour and specifically in a size extra small. It's brushed lycra material is perfect for cooler days if you want a tighter fitting garment to stay fast or layer.
Sportful Matchy Socks: $19.99 $10.77 at Mike's Bikes
46% off - The ultimate stocking filler: Who doesn't like socks?! Joking aside, these are great socks, and available in ever-so-fashionable olive green too.
Castelli Unlimited Entranta 2 jersey: $99.99 $74.99 at Amazon
25% off - Although we are heading into the autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere, summer is the time most cyclists really look forward to. The stylish Entranta 2 jersey from Castelli has 25% off in the Gunmetal grey colour and in several sizes.
100% S2 Sport sunglasses: $139 $75 at Amazon
46% off - The popular 100% S2 sunglasses are discounted in a range of colours and finishes at the moment. One of the strongest discounts is for the translucent grey/purple option. These shades have a lightweight, timeless frame for an excellent field of vision on the bike.
Rapha Pro Team Training bibtights: $250 $200 at Competitive Cyclist
For milder temperatures, these are my favourite bibtights. Incredibly light, super comfortable and deceptively warm, plus they are really stylish. On the Rapha site they are now the 'Pro Team lightweight tights' but are the same product.
Featured in: Best cycling bibtights
Topeak Aero Wedge saddle bag: $29.95 $17.50 at Amazon
37% off - The Topeak Aero Wedge saddle bag features in our best saddle bags buyers guide. It's a well-made and roomy option. The micro size bag has a larger discount but we think for a few more bucks the small size is a better buy.
Le Col Aqua Zero Long Sleeve Jersey: $330 $132 at Amazon
40% off - The Aqua Zero jersey by British brand Le Col is designed to offer cold weather, and lightweight protection. The jersey has an aero fit and the hydrophobic coating should keep water at bay.
Knog Oi Classic Bell: $19.95 $15.94 at Jenson
20% off - You'll need to use the discount code TRAILDAYS to get the discount here. The Oi is a real modern classic. It is very low profile on handlebars, but has a lovely ring to it too. Great for road handlebars where sleek looks are a must.
Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboutit Mini Bike U-Lock: $153.95 $107.99 at Amazon
30% off - Kryptonite's legendary New York Fahgettaboutit Mini Bike was once the most secure lock on the market. While it doesn't offer the same angle grinder blade destroying capability as a modern lock like the Litelok X1, its 18mm hardened steel shackle will shrug off hand tools, bolt cutters, and leverage attacks.
ABUS Bordo Granit X Plus 6500/110 folding lock: $209.99 $114.95 at Amazon
45% off - One of the best bike locks on the market, the folding Bordo Granit 6500 offers the maximum 15/15 level of security in Abus' ratings. It folds up small and mounts to your bike via the included bracket. It can then be unfurled into a chain-like lock that can thread around lampposts and through your wheels as necessary.
Topeak SmartGauge D2: $38.37 $28.45 at Amazon
26% off - For checking your tyre pressure, the SmartGauge is accurate, quick, and fits both Schrader and Presta valves. It reads as high as 250psi (17bar), weighs just 65 grams, and the CR2032 battery lasts ages, so you can just chuck it in your toolkit and grab it whenever needed.
Apple AirPods (3rd gen): $169.00 $129.99 at Amazon
23% off - The third-generation AirPods are the newest on the market. They're not quite as well specced as the AirPods Pro 2 below, but they offer impressive Spatial Audio, seamless connectivity with your Apple devices, and IPX4 protection for your sweaty indoor rides. There are also pinch-sensitive controls that let you play, skip and more.
Garmin Forerunner 945: $499.99 $279.99 at Amazon
44% off - The Forerunner 945 is a high-spec smartwatch from Garmin, with onboard music via Spotify, Amazon Music and more. It has various performance metrics such as Vo2 Max and altitude acclimation, as well as Garmin Pay to help you get the coffee in at the mid-ride stop. The battery also runs at around 2 weeks. This price is just a little more than the lowest price we have seen for this watch.
CamelBak Podium Chill 21oz: $16.00 $10.28 at Amazon
36% off - One of my personal favourite bottles for cycling, the Podium Chill is an insulated 21oz bottle with a twist-lock cap. It's a simple thing, but I own four of these and I haven't had a single drop leaked in over four years of use, having used them on the bike, in rucksacks and more. They are dishwasher friendly (though the logos do get washed off), and the cap can be dismantled for thorough cleaning. They are durable (did I mention I'd had mine for over four years) and they don't hold onto taste after washing. Genuinely, it's an excellent bottle and I would happily buy a dozen more at full price. The discount here isn't the best we've ever seen, but a couple of dollars off isn't to be ignored on a bottle that you'll come to use daily.
Garmin HRM Dual: $69.99 $49.49 at Amazon
29% off - With a battery that lasts up to 3.5 years, the HRM dual will take you through multiple years of training, both indoors and out. It runs using both ANT+ and Bluetooth, so you don't need an ANT+ connector for your Zwifting needs.
This deal brings it below that of the latest Wahoo Tickr, which means it's likely to be a popular one.
Echelon EX5-S Smart bike: $1,499.99 $979.99 at Amazon
Save 35% - An alternative to Peloton, the Echelon smart bike provides a similar experience but with lower recurring costs. As with Peloton, there's on-demand and live access to workouts, with a free 30-day premium membership. There's a flippable 22-inch screen and two power ports to keep your electronics charged. This isn't the cheapest the bike has been, but we're leaving it in as it carries some discount still.
We reckon it's one of the best exercise bikes available for spinning.
Amazon Prime Day cycling deals UK
Feedback Sports Team Edition tool kit: £300.00 £254.99 at Amazon
Here's a high-quality and comprehensive tool kit from Feedback Sports that will make a great investment. It has all the usual tools for day-to-day maintenance and some cleverly thought-out ones too.
Park Tool PCS 9.3 bike stand: £160 £135.99 at Amazon
The Park Tool PCS 9.3 work stand currently has a healthy discount. I own this stand myself and it's perfect for the home user who wants a quality stand. The clamp angle is very easily adjustable, but you can't rotate the stand's main shaft to move the bike around. It also folds down neatly for home storage.
Park Tool CG-2.5 chain cleaner: £42.99 £27.99 at Amazon
The Park Tool chain cleaning device is filled with a degreaser and attached to your chain. Some sturdy brushes and bristles then clean the chain as you turn the pedals. A mess-free way of degreasing your chain. Plant-based degreaser is also included here.
Wahoo Tickr Fit: £64.99 £49 at Amazon
The Wahoo Tickr is a handy wearable that records all of your key workout and fitness metrics like heart rate, and calorie tracking in real-time and sends the data to the Wahoo or third-party apps so you can monitor and analyse it. This is just about the cheapest the Tickr has ever been. It's only ever been a few pounds cheaper on Amazon. Making this a solid deal.
Wahoo Kickr Headwind Fan: £229.99 £169 at Amazon
The Kickr Headwind is Wahoo's custom fan for indoor training use, or well, whenever you need a powerful and portable fan. I've personally used it whilst indoor training and whilst a more premium option it makes a huge difference and is adjustable with Bluetooth. It currently has 27% off in the sale
Tacx Flux S smart trainer: £599.99 £399.99 at Sigma Sports
Save 33% - The Flux S is a smart trainer pared back to the basics to keep the costs down. Despite this, the 1500-watt resistance is more than most of us can put out, the 10% gradient simulation is steep enough for most climbs, and the accuracy of 3% is only an issue if you plan on racing in top-tier races.
Wahoo Kickr Snap: £249.99 £212 at Amazon
The Kickr Snap is Wahoo's entry-level, 'wheel on' smart trainer meaning you leave your rear wheel attached to the bike to use this trainer. If you want a more affordable trainer that connects to indoor apps like Zwift, this is a good option, although wheel-on trainers lack the more realistic feel of direct mount trainers. This is a healthy deal and is close to the cheapest the trainer has been on Amazon if you want to get set for winter training.
Muc Off Ultimate Bicycle Cleaning Kit: £99.99 £74.99 at Amazon
With winter on the way, there are a few things we'd recommend you buy if you don't have them already. The first is a pair of mudguards, the second is a good-quality chain wax - perhaps including a second chain so you can rotate them - and the third is this Muc Off bike wash kit. Keeping it clean is half the battle to avoiding accelerated wear and tear, especially with the rising cost of drivetrain components these days.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: £229.00 £179.00 at Amazon
This isn't the first time they've been this cheap, but it still represents the best price we've ever seen them, so a great price for an immensely popular product. The AirPods Pro 2 are still the best in-ear headphones from the brand too. It launched the AirPods 4 during its September event, but the Pro 3 isn't expected until next year.
Cateye Orb bar end lights: £19.99 £13.99 at Amazon
30% off - We're fans of the Cateye Orb bar end lights here and usually find a deal or two for them. The lights simply replace your handlebar bar plugs and help you appear wider on the road whilst adding more visibility. This isn't the cheapest we've seen them for, but for the price, it's still a nice buy.
Nduranz Nrgy Drink 90: £22 £15.40 at Amazon
30% off - CN Tech writer Tom uses and really rates the Nduranz carbohydrate drink and energy gels. The Nrgy 90 drink is mild and palatable whilst delivering a larger amount of carbs in bottle form. Tom even included it in his gear of the year for 2023.
Garmin Vívoactive 5 smartwatch: £249.99 £208.00 at Amazon
17% off - This is the cheapest the vívoactive 5 smartwatch from Garmin has been. This model is an all-around health and fitness watch. There are various health monitoring metrics to take advantage of as well as a range of built in sports apps. There is even a wheelchair mode for wheelchair users which tracks pushes rather than steps.
Worx WG620E.4 Hydroshot Portable Pressure Washer: £139.99 £104.97 at Amazon
25% off - If you don't have an outdoor power or water supply at home, then this portable battery-powered pressure washer is a great bike wash upgrade. Pair it with a container of water and you can wash your bike anywhere. I use it at the trail centre before putting my bike back into my car. There are a few options for the Hydroshot, this is for the unit, battery and charger.
Muc-Off Nano-Tech Bike Cleaner, 5 Litre: £33.31 £20 at Amazon
40% off - Everyone cleans their bike (well, they should) and in doing so, there are consumables that need regular top-ups. Bike wash is one of them, so why wait until you run out before buying more, probably at full price? Buy it now at 49% off. You could even pair this with the above for an even better bike wash setup.
JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Earbuds: £24.99 £17.95 at Amazon
28% off - As budget headphones go, these punch well above their weight. They don't have active noise cancelling or hearthrough tech, and they can only connect to a single device at a time, but the audio quality is genuinely excellent, they put up with sweat from indoor cycling very well, and I've had no issues using them over the past 12 months.
Apple AirPods (3rd gen): £149.00 £129.00 at Amazon
13% off - The first of a handful of AirPods deals this Prime Day for our UK readers, the 3rd Gen fall slightly below the recently launched Airpods 4, as well as the AirPods Pro 2 model when it comes to the functionality (noise cancelling, for example) and the interchangeable tips.
Of course, with all of these headphone deals, we're not recommending that anyone rides their bike on the road with both headphones in, music blaring; even if we do see it done all too regularly. I save the headphones for my indoor rides so I can watch WorldTour races while training, or I listen to music (which is proven to reduce perceived exertion) during the really hard bits. My current go-to is all the emo music from my teenage years (thanks for asking).
This model comes with the Lightning charging case, but you can pay a smidge more for the MagSafe case.
Apple AirPods (3rd gen & MagSafe case): £159.00 £139.00 at Amazon
13% off - Here they are with the MagSafe case. Whether you should spend the extra amount vs the Lightning case is a decision only you can make. The headphones themselves are the same, but will you use a MagSafe charging dock to power them up, or will you just Plug It In like the Basement Jaxx?
Echelon Sport-S smart exercise bike: £1099.00 £699.00 at Amazon
36% off - The Echelon Sport S is a smart indoor exercise bike, complete with 10in screen up front, WiFi connectivity to plug into the Echelon app, where you can follow along with live and on-demand classes. It's a locked ecosystem, so you will have to pay an ongoing subscription to that Echelon app; it won't let you connect to apps like Zwift or Trainerroad and enjoy the interactivity those apps enable. While that might sound bad, there are a couple of things to point out.
First, given the Echelon bike's 32 levels of resistance are controlled by the knob on the frame (and not electronically), you can also use the Echelon Sport S bike for Peloton classes, Apple Fitness classes, or even free follow-at-home classes on YouTube. It's not as immersive (read: good) as electronically-controlled resistance from indoor trainers or smart bikes like the Wattbike, but the price difference to the latter is significant.
Second, the Echelon Sport S is nigh-on silent in operation thanks to its belt drive drivetrain. It's no exaggeration to say your heavy breathing will be louder, and although some smart bikes use belt drives too, this is the quietest I've used by a long way.
Bryton GARDIA R300L Radar with Tail Light: £99.99 £75.89 at Amazon
24% off - A similar idea to the Garmin Varia, but in a more affordable package. The radar distance is slightly lower, but it adds in features like a G sensor, activating a brake light if it detects a rapid deceleration. As a light, it offers 73 lumens in its flash mode, and can last up to five hours of solid light and 17 hours on flash mode.
Garmin Fenix 7X Solar: £619.99 £485.00 at Amazon
22% off - The Fenix 7 is the latest model in the Garmin range. It's on offer in various guises and sizes, but we think the best deal applies to the 7X Solar.
The X means it's the biggest version with 51mm case, and the Solar means the battery will run for around 50% longer thanks to inbuilt solar charge panels. That means around 5 days with GPS on, or up to 37 days with it off. If you run it in full battery-saver mode, it could feasibly run for over a year before you need to charge it again.
As part of the Fenix range, it boasts all the functions you're likely to need, including Garmin Pay contactless, on-device music, GPS routing and workout tracking, performance metrics such as Vo2 Max, and so much more.
Kryptonite New York FAGHETTABOUDIT lock: £119.99 £79.99 at Amazon
Save 33% - You can currently take advantage of this discount off the aptly named FAGHETTABOUDIT D - lock. It comes with a Lifetime warranty, a Sold Secure Gold rating and a hardened steel shackle to slow down any would-be thieves.
Garmin HRM Pro Plus £99.99 £87.00 at Amazon
13% off - The flagship heart rate monitor in Garmin's range, the Pro Plus offers all the usual cycling features, combined with accelerometers for tracking running and swimming metrics like pace, cadence and more. The upgrade from the previous heart rate monitor includes an easier-to-remove battery cover, which although rare, makes it much less of a faff when the battery dies. We'd only suggest buying this if you're planning to take advantage of the additional metrics though. If you only want to use it on the bike, get something cheaper like the HRM Dual or Polar H9, as they'll work just as well.
Blink Outdoor security cameras: £154.99 £61.99 at Amazon
Save 60% - Not a cycling deal, I'll admit, but if you own bikes and keep them in a shed, garage or even in your home, the Blink cameras are a great way to add peace of mind that any would-be thieves will be deterred, or at least caught in the act. These will pair with the indoor cameras and all sync up via Wifi to an app, which you can use to watch realtime, capture HD and infrared nighttime recordings, and even speak through the app to warn them off.
Black nitrile gloves: £8.00 £5.09 at Amazon
36% off - Amazon Prime Day might be dominated by big-ticket items like air fryers and coffee machines, but they're also a great time to stock up on the boring stuff. Working on bikes is mucky, and a box of black nitrile gloves in the workshop will protect your hands no end. All sizes are discounted, and if black doesn't take your fancy there are other colours too.
Cateye Viz Rear Light: £39.99 £22.99 at Amazon
43% off - The Cateye Viz is a neat little light that will do a solid job for you. For the price at 43% off right now it ticks a lot of boxes. There's USB charging, a strong 300-lumen output and a handy rubber mount strap that allows for a wide range of seatpost fits.
Cateye AMPP 500 Front Light: £32.99 £26.29 at Amazon
20% off - Cateye makes some of the best bike lights on the market, so to find one with this discount is worth a look. It's the 500-lumen version of the AMPP. Just enough to see with on dark lanes, but best kept to help you be seen by other traffic.
SiS GO Isotonic Gel - 15 Pack: £33.00 £14.39 at Amazon
56% off - Much like the gloves deal above, this is perhaps not the most exciting deal, but if you're regularly taking gels on bike rides then stocking up on a few boxes while they're discounted is never going to be a bad idea.
CatEye Orb light set: £19.99 £10.49 at Amazon
48% off - Not enough to see by, but plenty bright enough to make you more visible to other road users. A great inexpensive backup to have too.
Altura Nightvision Storm waterproof jacket: £79.99 £64.99 at Amazon
19% off - Discounts vary by size, but regardless it's one of the most visible of all the options from our guide to the best waterproof jackets on the market.
Prime Day 2024: Are the deals any good?
Having compiled this page, and many others, we would say that at the moment there seem to be some excellent deals here and there but perhaps not the sheer volume of deals we have seen in the past, however, it's early days in the sale and the discounts available this Prime Day are certainly worth checking out.
Often the best discounts for cyclists are in tech, such as bike computers, indoor bikes, headphones, heart rate monitors and so on, and the same rings true this year.
Beyond the techy products, we've seen consumables given good discounts too. This presents a huge opportunity to save money in the long term. Things like bike wash, energy gels and cycling kit are used throughout the year, so why not take advantage of the discounts and stock up in advance?
How we find the best Amazon Prime Day cycling deals
There are several Amazon sale events each year that we cover, but we don't use AI, robots, monkeys with typewriters, nor Santa's elves to compile this content, it's all done by members of the Cyclingnews tech team.
This year, that includes Josh Croxton, Will Jones, Tom Wieckowski, Paul Brett and Graham Cottingham. Each of whom have years of experience writing tech-related bike content for websites and magazines.
Put simply, we trawl the Amazon Prime Day sale looking for products that feature in our buying guides, then if we find a good price, we cross-check it against the rest of the internet.
We use tools to help us. Primarily, we use the strangely-titled but eminently useful CamelCamelCamel tool to check historical pricing. We also use The Wayback Machine to check former listings where necessary.
More pertinently, though, we use our years of experience testing cycling products (bikes, clothing, accessories, tech and so on) to give us a good understanding of what products are good, and which are bad, because no matter how cheap or heavily discounted something is, it's not a 'good deal' if the product is worthless.
We then combine that insight with our knowledge of the industry. We know which brands are popular, and which are not. We sometimes know which are overstocked (and likely to want to discount heavily). We also know if a brand just launched - or might be set to launch - a new model, and thus might want to clear out the older model to make room for the new one.
More than anything, we simply use our understanding of which products are available on the market in each category, what they're priced at, and which of them are the best. If product A is marginally better than product B, but product B becomes significantly cheaper in the Prime Day Sales, we make a human judgment on which is the one to recommend. If we still think product A is worth the extra spend, then we'll say that, and likewise Vice Versa. Sometimes we might simply give you the facts and let you make that judgment, because only you can truly decide what the best product is for your needs and your budget.
If we find a product that meets the criteria of good, a good price, and not-available-cheaper-elsewhere, then it gets added. If it is available cheaper elsewhere, we might still include it if it's a good offer, but we'll always share the better price too.
