Specialized S-Works Evade 3 helmet now £129... that's 48% off!
Originally priced at £250, the Specialized S-Works Evade 3 helmet, which scored an 8/10 in its road.cc review in 2022, now has more than £100 off in the Vivid Red colourway.
Specialized claims the S-Works Evade 3 is the most aerodynamic helmet in the peloton, without compromising airflow, weight or comfort.

Shimano's Ultegra 12-speed Di2 groupset is down to £1,280 from £2,279.89
Shimano's 12-speed Ultegra is one of the only groupsets to receive a 10/10 rating on road.cc, and can now be picked up for quite a bit less than the RRP.
Shimano's second-tier groupset provides the majority of the performance of the top-tier Dura-Ace groupset, but at a significantly reduced price. Ultegra retains all the functionality of the range topping Dura-Ace groupset with a very small weight penalty, that for most of us will make the most negligible of differences.

The helmet bargains continue with Giro's Cielo MIPS helmet, now discounted to £89 from an RRP of £189.99.
The Giro Cielo MIPS is not quite at the top of Giro's range, but it's a good-looking helmet that is still reasonably light and offers a number of Giro's best safety features - it also scored an 8/10 in our road.cc review. It's well ventilated too, with 22 vents across the lid in total.
The Giro Cielo MIPS helmet is now £89

10% off Garmin Rally RS200 Dual-sensing Power Meter Pedals
The Rally RS200 Dual-sensing Power Meter pedals are now 10% off at Balfe's, down to £693.
These power pedals are compatible with Shimano SPD-SL road style cleats, but you can buy extra pedal bodies and swap over the power-reading spindle so they work with Look Keo style cleats or even off-road pedals, for accurate data across disciplines.
Garmin claims the Rally power meter pedals are accurate to within +/- 1 per cent of the unit itself. So, at 300 watts, the readings should always be between 297 and 303 watts. This is enough accuracy for keeping in the intended training zone for riding at the right intensity to get the benefits you're after for that workout.
