Best cycling tech deals in the UK
Shokz OpenFit headphones – £179.99 £139 (-22%)
Scoring a 4-star rating in our review, these wireless earbuds have audiophile-quality for cyclists and runners without compromising road safety.
The sound is impressively detailed and balanced, with a good battery life and flawless connectivity. What’s more, they stay in place on the bike and don’t fall out like some of its competitors do.
The OpenFits aren’t bone conduction headphones, they instead use ‘DirectPitch’ technology to fire sound through the air. This leaves your inner ear open and able to receive ambient noise from the real world. As such, they may well challenge your opinion about riding while listening to music.
Garmin Fenix 7X Solar – £619.99 £438 (save 29%)
The Fenix 7 series is Garmin’s premium multisport smartwatch offering, with the 7X designed for larger wrists, with a 1.4in screen.
The smartwatch has an impressive claimed 37 days of battery life, which can be further boosted up to nine days, thanks to the PowerGlass solar charging lens.
The Fenix 7X Solar uses a mixture of buttons and a touchscreen to cycle through its various functions and Garmin says the watch is tested to US military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance.
We awarded its smaller sibling, the Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, 4 stars in our review.
Cycplus AS2 Pro electric pump – £99.99 £84.99 (save 15%)
The savings are more modest here because it’s a relatively recent release, but there’s 15 per cent off to be had on Cycplus’ AS2 Pro electric pump.
Fixing a puncture by the side of the road or trail isn’t fun and this Cycplus electric pump removes some of the difficulty.
The cuboid-shaped pump is designed to be carried in your pocket on a ride and is claimed to pump up a 700c x 25mm tyre to 80psi in 50 seconds up to four times.
Think of the pump as a CO2 inflator, only with the ability to be used multiple times.
You get live readings too, so you don't have to guess what tyre pressure you’re inflating the tyre to.
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V2 Computer Bundle – £379.99 £322.99 (save 15%)
Although Amazon has also discounted the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V2 on its own, you get bigger savings on the bundle, which includes a heart rate monitor, and speed and cadence sensor.
BikeRadar’s editor-in-chief George Scott awarded the computer a 4-star rating, finding it has almost everything you need for everyday riding.
The computer offers a colour screen, smart navigation, USB-C charging and improved battery life over the original Wahoo Elemnt Bolt.
There’s no touchscreen, with the Bolt controlled by six buttons, and you set the device and data screens up via the Elemnt companion phone app.
The brand claims the computer will last up to 15 hours and we’ve found that to be accurate in our testing.
Best cycling tech deals in the US
Garmin Edge 1030 Plus Bundle – $699.99 $389.99 (save 44%)
If you’re in the USA, the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus Bundle is a standout.
The Garmin Edge 1030 Plus is the predecessor to the Garmin Edge 1040 Solar, which has a bundle with an RRP of $764.99.
Although you miss out on the souped-up battery life, USB-C charging and some software bells and whistles, the 1030 Plus is still one of the best bike computers. Deputy editor Jack Luke gave it 4 stars.
Described by Jack at the time as “overwhelmingly feature rich”, the 1030 Plus likely has everything you’ll ever need. You get a large 3.5in display with a claimed 24 hours of battery life in regular mode.
This bundle comes with a heart rate monitor, and speed and cadence sensor.
Wahoo KICKR Core – $599.99 $425 (save 29%)
The KICKR Core is Wahoo’s mid-priced, wheel-on smart trainer, sitting below the KICKR Snap but below the KICKR Move and KICKR.
Ian Osborne awarded the KICKR Core a 4.5-star score in his review and found it to be a stable, easy-to-use and value-packed package without compromising the ride quality.
Although it’s not quite as compact as its bigger siblings (and you’ll need to buy a cassette separately), the smart trainer gives you the full experience at a competitive price.
We found it difficult to notice the difference between the 5.4kg flywheel on the Core and the burlier 7.3kg on the Kickr – heavier flywheels typically translate to an improved ride feel.
