It wouldn't be the run up to Christmas without the consumerist frenzy that is Black Friday. Don't worry, you won't have to queue up outside for hours and fight for a telly here, all our cycling deals are online and available from the comfort of your own home (or work desk).

The whole concept of Black Friday is hardly one that thrills us, so please do feel free to sit all the sales hysteria out. Also if you can afford to and want to, there'll be hundreds of independent cycling businesses more than happy to take your trade this weekend, even if they can't offer you quite as good a deal as the big names; so spend there too if you'd rather.

As much as we'd happily live in a Black Friday-free world, ultimately, what this all comes down to is that, whisper it quietly, it is actually quite a good time to buy new stuff. Bikes, kit, tech, accessories — you name it and it's probably cheaper today than it has been at any point this year — so, it's kind of our job to tell you when there's great cycling products available at tempting prices.

There's no need to order for the sake of it but that upgrade, bit of winter kit, or Christmas gift idea might well be as cheap as it's ever been. In which case, who are we to tell you not to.

If the deals we've posted aren't genuinely the best around and cheaper than they are at other times of the year, we won't run them. If you find anything we've posted for less, let us know and we'll edit or remove the post. 

Let us know if there are any deals we've missed and we'll have someone manning the live blog all the way through today and on Cyber Monday too...

An old favourite, the Rapha Core jersey which got 9/10 when we reviewed it back in 2020 has 37 per cent off at Sigma Sports. Simon's test had him confident it's a "great-performing, lightweight summer jersey" at a competitive price. Well, that price is even more competitive now, giving you a pound change from £50 (yes, I know you don't get change online)... anyway, it could be a nice present to your future self for when the weather is (maybe) nice again next spring...

Garmin's Edge 540 GPS cycling computer is under £300 with Amazon, reduced from £329.99 to £277.99, a saving of 16 per cent. One of Garmin's mid-range offerings, the 540 has all the mapping, climbing, workout and training features you'd expect from a modern cycling computer. The battery life is a stated 26 hours too, meaning you can spend less time charging and more time riding.

The Altura Icon Pocket Rocket Waterproof Packable Jacket impressed when we had it in for review, Steve giving it four stars and concluding that it's a "well-made, well-shaped and stylish jacket that really keeps the wind and rain out effectively". When we tested it, the price was £125... today it's £34.99 with Tredz in all sizes and colours.

How about grabbing a carbon road bike with over two grand off? This Trek Domane SL 7 Gen 4 road bike in the colour gravel (pictured above) is now priced at £3,695, down from £6,025. 

The Domane SL 7 is a light and capable endurance road bike designed for long days in the saddle when ride quality is the number one priority. Despite the SL being the lower-tier option, you still get a Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, carbon wheels and internally cabled cockpit, giving it a sleek, high-performance look.
