One of the holiday traditions stolen from our neighbours across the pond as they celebrate Thanksgiving weekend, Black Friday is everyone’s favourite excuse to indulge in some shopping in the run-up to Christmas. In this list, we’ve brought together the best of our Black Friday sale, with everything from road bikes and e-bikes to clothing and tools getting the discount treatment.
Road bikes
Cycling’s relationship with Christmas is pretty darn good because the model year ends in around August-September. What that means for all our lovely customers is that the bikes featured here have already been in the sale for a month or so, and now they get a boost. Here we’ve got the ground breaking Specialized Roubaix Disc at 20% off and its sister model the Ruby Comp with a staggering 34% discount. The top-end bikes are not the only ones to get the Black Friday treatment either, with the entry-level Giant Contend SL and Trek Lexa 3 also benefiting from a hefty slash in price. Whether you’re shopping for yourself and hoping for some performance gains, or trying to get a boyfriend or partner into the sport, there will certainly be something here for you.
Mountain bikes
Just like their roadie cousins, our mountain bike category is heavily discounted from the perfect first-timer, the Liv Tempt 27.5 at an alarming £345 all the way up to everyone’s favourite trail gobbler, the Trek Remedy 9, in Race Shop livery, with 11% off at £2849.99. Some of the best bikes on the market from all the top brands are still available, though we do have a limited size range so get them before they’re gone!
E-bikes
E-bikes are becoming an ever more significant market for your favourite brands with sales accounting for almost 50% of revenue for some manufacturers. That’s largely thanks to our European friends who love nothing more than a quick ride to work of a morning, but we’re also seeing a timely increase in demand for performance e-bikes. We’ve still got a few of Giant’s innovative Road E+2 E-Bikes in stock at the slashed price of £1899, as well as the super-quick Specialized Turbo Levo FSR Comp 6Fattie with a 15% reduction.
Accessories and components
Nothing escapes the attention of the Black Friday sale and we’ve got some fantastic deals on accessories and components for your beloved bike. It’s that time of year when we seem to spend more time under the watchful eye of the moon than in daylight, so a good lightset from a reputable brand is a must-have for any commuters out there. As for components, everyone knows that the best upgrade for your bike is a shiny new wheelset so how about swapping your stock wheels with a pair of Mavic Ksyriums? Mavic is one of the cycling world’s most recognisable brands and it’s hard to argue against 24% off full price.
Clothing and accessories
Christmas is coming, which means we are all feverishly writing lists and buying gifts. If in doubt, clothing and personal accessories like jackets and gloves are a perfect option for the cyclist in your life. You can never really have enough winter kit, gloves, thermals, so the selection we’ve put together starts at the feet and works its way up, starting with Endura Overshoes and finishing with Tifosi clear Podium Glasses, perfect for chilly winter rides in low light. Discounts range from 10% to 50% so we can almost guarantee there’ll be something to fit with your budget that will more than satisfy your favourite cyclist.
We don’t have to tell you that we’ve barely scratched the surface with this list, so be sure to have a good browse of our website. Happy shopping!
