Here we go again... your one-stop shop for all the biggest Amazon Prime Day savings to be had on cycling products worth having *We may earn affiliate commission from this page*

Welcome to the road.cc Amazon Prime Day live blog (again)

It's the return of everyone's 'favourite' festival of capitalistic online retailing — Amazon Prime Day — which of course means another Prime Day live blog to round up all the deals and discounts in one handy place. 

 

As ever, feel free to avoid spending like the plague, or make a concerted effort to source the same items from your favourite local bike shop, if you'd rather. There will however be major discounts across plenty of cycling products, potentially making today and tomorrow (16 and 17th July) the best time to buy that new bit of kit you've been thinking about. The best time to buy, until the autumn of course when Prime Day gets wheeled out again alongside Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

To get the deals you'll need an Amazon Prime account, which you can usually get on a month-long trial,  just set a reminder in your phone to cancel it before you get billed the full whack.

If you see any decent cycling-related deals or if the deals we've posted aren't the cheapest available (we always try to double-check but mistakes happen), feel free to drop them in the comments after you've finished cursing Amazon and us for running this blog... 

We also have to mention that road.cc may earn a small commission from some of the deals on this page if you click on anything and buy it. We doubt it will be much, but every little helps.

Coospo gps prime day

This cheap and straightforward GPS computer rated highly in its road.cc review is usually £49.99, but it's down to £39.98 this Prime Day. If we recall correctly that's a penny less than the Black Friday promotion... inflation? Pah! 

Get the Coospo Bike Computer for just £39.98 this Prime Day

Coospo CS300

If you can spare an extra £9.01, it might be worth having a look at Coospo's updated unit, the CS300. We haven't reviewed it yet, but it looks like it's mostly the same as the above with a slightly bigger and brighter screen, and the battery life increases from 28 to 40 hours. It's usually £69.99 and down to £48.99, a very decent 30% saving.

Get turbo trainer ready with a new speaker to pump the tunes while you suffer through the winter — a third off Bose and JBL models
Lockdown paincaves Paul Barnard

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. It may miraculously be sunny for a few days this week but it won't be long before summer's done and it's back to the long winter of gloomy outdoor rides and indoor training. One thing that might make your turbo miles marginally less miserable could be pumping some tunes from a quality speaker, offering you a bit more motivation to give it some welly. 

 Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker

Bose's SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker is down from £149.95 to £94.95 this Prime Day, a saving of 37 per cent. Plus, it's waterproof so if you enjoy taking the tunes with you on long touring days or your commute, there's that too. Unfortunately there's no function to run its maximum power output of 20w using your thighs. Even you or I could probably keep that running...  

Get the Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker for 94.95 

Likewise, the JBL Flip has a third off, down to £66.99 from £99.99. It's got a 10-hour battery life so more than enough to last your entire tubo pain session. Well, it should be. If you're spending longer than 10 hours on the turbo, chapeau... but you should probably have a long hard look at yourself all the same...

Gore C5 cycling jersey and C3 short tights
Up to 66% off on Gore Wear men's cycling jerseys and short tights

Gore has been a well-reviewed name in the cycling kit business for a while now. The brand makes everything from jerseys and gloves, to bib shorts and jackets. A lot of the company's products are on discount as part of the Prime Day deals right now, but the ones offering the most bang for buck and worth having a look at (in our opinion) are the Gore Wear Men's Cycling C5 Jersey and the Gore Wear Men's Cycling Short Tights+.

If an L size fits you in your jerseys, you can grab the C5 for £34 right now, making it a eyebrow-raising 66% discount. But if you fit into other sizes, you can grab those at a 50% discounted price from the original £99.99 as well. The jersey is made out of 92% polyester and 8% elastane and features a 3-piece back pocket and another small zip pocket in the back.

Similarly for the shorts, the biggest discount you can get is of 56% with the M size, bringing the price of the C3 Tights+ to £35 from the original £79.99, but other sizes are also available at a 50% discount. The shorts are made of 100% polyester and have a special seat cushion as well as optimised seam tracking for more comfort.

One thing to mention here is that all the maximum discounts are only available in the black colour options, with the other colourways coming in at an additional cost.

Save on OTE Hydration Tablets
OTE hydration tabs amazon prime day

It might not seem like you need any more hydration beyond the soaking weather that is being served to us at the moment, but let's all hope it's going to still be a good summer at some point. And when it is, hydration tablets are essential on all rides to keep your body's electrolytes topped up. 

OTE Sports Hydro Tabs create electrolyte water which contains sodium, magnesium, and potassium, so they help to replenish what you lose while working out, or even when working outside on a hot or humid day.

Muc-Off's Luxury Chamois Cream is also on sale, with more than a fifth off the price. The British brand promises that the cream is formulated to form a protective barrier that helps to prevent skin damage from any excess friction and has a mild cooling effect that works to soothe skin and ensure long-lasting protection. 

When we reviewed this, it got four stars from Stu. The only criticism was the higher price, so now that it's more affordable… surely this is an unmissable deal?

Giro Men's Empire Vr90 Cycling Shoe - 45% off
Giro Empire VR90 - 10.jpg

If you're a fan of lace cycling shoes, the Giro Empire Vr90 are a classic option. And at nearly half-price now, they're also pretty good value – tho prices on this deal do vary depending on size. These are two-bolt shoes so they'd be as much home on gravel or mtb tracks as they are on the road. 

In our review, they scored an impressive 4.5/5 which well, says a lot about how good a pair of cycling shoes they are.

22% off Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Case
apple airpods

Before you scream "These are not cycling headphones", just hold your horses. While these might not be best for cycling out in the wild, for cycling indoors the AirPods Pro are amazing. They have noise cancelling for blocking out your fan and trainer noise, which means you can blast your tunes or watch series while you train without getting distracted by all the whirring and whizzing. 

And while still on the pricier side, a good 22% off the retail price is a decent deal for a legitimate Apple product.

2021 Wahoo Elemnt Bolt GPS computer - 3

Wahoo's Elemnt and Bolt computers have had their price slashed for Prime Day, with discounts in excess of 20 per cent off. The Bolt impressed us when we had it in for review, tech editor Mat giving it 8/10 and calling it a "neat GPS bike computer now with a colour screen that improves clarity, and updated navigation features". There is 20 per cent off the price it was back then, making it even better value, the computer with all the usual features of a device at this price point — mapping, routes, live tracking, colour screen and more.

Science in Sport savings: Gels, carb mix and electrolytes all reduced
Science in Sport GO Isotonic Energy Gels

There is 36 per cent off a 15-pack of Science in Sport's Isotonic gels, reduced to £16.20 from £25.50. If you prefer carb-mix drinks, 1.6kg of the nutrition brand's GO Energy Powder is down to £22.45 from £29. With 47g of carbs per serving, double the content of a gel, the powder mixes in with your water to keep the dreaded bonk at bay and keeping you fuelled with minimal fuss. If you're after electrolyte tablets for your summer riding (the sun might come out eventually, you never know) the three-pack of Hydro Hydration Tablets (60 in total) is down to £17.15 for Prime Day. 

Alternatively, Lidl do budget 'effervescent' tablets for about £1 a tube, and you can eat 50g of carbs from jam sandwiches and sweets for a fraction of the price. But maybe you want to go 'pro' for that big event you've got coming up? Just remember to try them out in training before, so you know how well gels go down for you. Trust us, you don't want your big day to turn into a Tom Dumoulin tribute act...

At just 97g and 65x46x28mm, the Cycplus is a great thing to have out on a ride. In his review, Dave said, "It makes reinflating and topping up tyres straightforward, and it's easy to fit into your tool kit. It's especially useful if you're running tubeless tyres".

Amazon has 20% off the Apple Watch 9, which is as big a discount on an Apple Watch as I've seen.
