Welcome to Velo Deals. We sift through the retail landscape to bring you deals worth paying attention to. It might be a discount or it might just be a product so good you should grab it. Either way, if it’s worth your time, you’ll see it here. If you’d like to see the rest of the category, check all our Velo Deals coverage.
It’s the season. Actually, it feels like it’s always some season. We have Holiday Season, Amazon Prime Day Season, and whatever else the marketing departments invent. But right now, we are at the beginning of the actual summer riding season, which means brands are finally discounting the gear you are going to want for long days in the saddle.
I’m not going to waste your time on minor discounts designed to trick you into buying junk. Instead, I spent the time digging through the noise to find the gear you were probably going to buy anyway—either because it’s a recurring consumable or because it’s genuinely top-tier equipment. There is no reason to pay full price if you don’t have to. Here is what is actually worth your money right now.
Skratch Energy Chews: 20% Off
When you ride long distances it’s good to have a variety of food types. I get most of my calories from liquids but I always carry some of these as a secondary source. Lot’s of flavor choices are available.
Skratch Super High-Carb: 20% Off
As I said, I get the bulk of my carbs from liquid when I ride. If that’s your preference also but you don’t like sweets then this is your best bet. Scratch keeps it quite tart for this formulation and the bag means you can add more or less depending on needs for a specific day.
Tailwind Endurance Fuel: 20% Off
Remember how I said that Skratch is for people who don’t love sweets? Well I love a sweet flavor and so I tend to use Tailwind Endurance fuel. Unfortunately there’s no particular sale going on with Tailwind but I reached out and requested a code. Follow the link (that price is for a 30 serving bag but you can choose whatever you want) and you can take 20% off your first purchase with the code BESTNUTRITION20.
Infinite Nutrition Custom Drink MIx: 20% Off
This one is a bit more involved but it might be right for those who are deep into the science of nutrition. The way it works is that you take a survey, or use a sweat sensor, to create a custom mix for you based on your individual needs. Not everyone will feel like this is necessary but if you do, VeloNews20 is a one-time use code that will get you 20% off.
Lazer Z1 Kineticore Helmet: 25% off
The sales pitch is simple here, this helmet is among the lightest on the market. Less weight on your head can be a good thing over time and Lazer delivers both lightweight and high ventilation. You can read more in the best bike helmets buyers guide.
S-Works Evade 3 Helmet: 20% Off
If you don’t mind a little extra weight, it’s about 100 grams heavier than the Lazer, then this is the fastest helmet available on the market. I know because I tested it. There is a new version of this helmet that launched today but Specialized claims the Evade 4 is better ventilated, not any faster. The only catch here is the sale is only covering the red version. You can read more in the best bike helmets buyers guide.
Sweet Protection Tucker III 2Vi Mips Helmet: 25% Off
This is a helmet I just started testing and it’s got some really interesting features. If you close the vents for glasses, with included covers, Sweet Protection is claiming that it’s faster than other leading aero helmets. I haven’t tested to see if that’s true yet but the claim puts it in the running for consideration and it’s also very comfortable with a steep angle at the front that keeps it easy to see when you are in the drops.
Giro Escape MIPS helmet: 30% Off
I obviously love a good aero helmet but if you need something you can wear on a city bike to commute, this Giro is one of my absolute favorites. I just love the style paired with the built in lights.
Silca Chain Waxing System: 15% Off
I wrote a whole article about the Silca Wax System and why I don’t care about the performance benefits but I love this system anyway. Check out and if you like the concept, save some money.
Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper: 14% Off
One of the best things about the Silca system is the ease of stripping an old chain with this stuff. There’s another benefit though. If you don’t want to use the Silca system you can still use the chain stripper to prepare a chain for whatever system you prefer to use.
Silca Super Secret Chain Lube: 20% Off
If you do use wax for your chain, no matter the brand, you don’t always have to use immersion wax. You can “top up” between immersion wax dipping with drip wax. I personally use Silca.
Muc-Off Tubeless rim tape: 30% Off
Notice that pink roll of rim tape in the front of that picture? That’s Muc-Off tape which I specifically recommend in my article about how to set up road tubeless tires. I prefer Muc-Off tape because you can see through it, that makes puncturing the valve hole easier, and because it’s got just the right amount of stretch for an easy application. If you are having an issue with tubeless tires holding air it’s always the tape. Grab an extra roll and have it on hand.
Muc-Off Disc Brake Cleaner: 30% Off
If your disc brakes are making a racket you have some choices. You could try to figure out why but assuming they are in good shape you could also just use this and be done with it. Pull the rotor and the pads then soak it all and put it all back together. In my experience it is fixed 100% of the time. Simple.
Muc-Off 8-in-1 Bicycle Cleaning Kit: 30% Off
I have this exact same kit (pushcased before it came with the tub) and I use it all the time. The cleaner does a great job dealing with the drivetrain, the bike protector gets wheels looking great again, and the various brushes all have their place. Buying the kit is a great way to start and the tub is a nice bonus for storage I wish I had.
Garmin Edge 550: 20% Off
Think of this as a two-for-one listing that offers two choices. While the Garmin Edge 1050, listed below is the computer I consider the best on the market, it remains a major investment even on sale. The Garmin Edge 850 and Garmin Edge 550 offer essentially the same flagship features in a more compact form. The trade-off is slightly less battery power—though still more than enough for almost any ride—and the screen smaller but still the same high resolution and brightness.
The primary difference is the interface. The Garmin Edge 850 features both a responsive touchscreen and physical buttons, while the less expensive Edge 550 is a button-only unit. The 1050 relies almost entirely on its touchscreen for navigation. Simply choose the price, battery life, and interface that fits your riding style; everything is currently on sale. You can read more info in our Garmin 850 and 550 launch coverage.
Garmin Edge 1050: 14% Off
The market for cycling head units moves fast, but it wasn’t long ago that I published a long-term review of the Garmin Edge 1050 detailing how it has exceeded my expectations over the last two years. I consider this the best unit on the market, but the premium hardware comes with a high price tag. Seeing it for $100 off during this sale definitely softens that blow.
Coros Dura Solar Bike Computer (refurbished): 20% Off
The Coros Dura is already the most affordable of the best bike computers but Coros is also offering a refurbished version at a discount. The big selling feature here, aside from a great price, is that this thing almost never needs to be charged. Small, cheap, and everlasting battery is a great feature set. Read more in our best bike computers buyer’s guide.
Wahoo Elemnt Ace: 20% Off
If you want a combination of long battery life and a bright screen then neither the Garmin or the Coros can match the Wahoo Ace. You also have a screen that’s incredibly easy to read if you need glasses, and a wind speed sensor. Read more in our best bike computers buyer’s guide.
Insta360 Ace Pro 2: 21% Off
Insta360 is the company that pioneered using your action camera for everything. This is a very capable action camera on its own but pick one of the bundles and you can turn it into a point and shoot or even an instant camera that prints on demand. I carry this with me on every trip. Read more in our full Insta360 Ace Pro 2 review.
Insta360 x5: 15% Off
I might carry the Ace Pro 2 with me all the time but if I could only have one camera it would be the x5. The Audio is incredible and I use it for every review video. The fact that it’s filming in 360 all the time means I can cut the same clip twice for two views and reposition myself after the fact. This is an incredible tool. Read more in our full Insta360 X5 review
Insta360 Go Ultra: 16% Off
Look, I obviously love Insta360 but the Go Ultra has taken me a bit of time to understand. It doesn’t have the point and shoot possibilities of the Ace Pro 2 and it doesn’t have the audio capabilities of the x5. Despite that, you’ll see it show up in just about every recent video I shoot because it’s become my go to b-roll generator on the bike. I stick it to my jersey and if I can’t manage to hold a camera but I want to show something, that’s when I press the button for first person point of view. It’s a little more specialized but it can get some very cool shots.
