With Black Friday rapidly approaching online retailers are already enticing cyclists with plenty of deals ahead of the big day. And if you’re looking to upgrade your indoor training set-up then you may well be in luck. We’ve found some of the best smart trainers at discounted prices, including $350 off the Garmin Tacx Flux S and a number of price drops on popular Wahoo models, such as the highly-rated Kickr.

Garmin Tacx Flux S: Was $749.99, now $399.99 at Garmin

The Garmin Tacx Flux S is our best overall in the best smart trainers guide. It ticks all the boxes on performance and ease of use, especially if you have the space for a permanent indoor set-up. The Flux S also delivers an excellent ride feel, good stability and a very smooth ERG mode.

Wahoo Kickr: Was $1,299.99, now $899.99 at Wahoo

Wahoo Kickr: Was $1,299.99, now $899.99 at Wahoo

The Wahoo Kickr is my smart turbo trainer of choice and gives indoor cyclists high-spec performance, and a superb ride feel, with an easy set-up, and now even better at its current price. The Kickr has a virtually silent operation, handles all the data you'll ever need and comes highly recommended.

Saris H3 Plus: Was $649.99, now $499.77 | Save 23% at Mikes Bikes

The Saris H3 Plus is designed to be the quietest smart trainer that Saris has ever made. It gives precise measurements with a build that accurately monitors power, speed, and cadence.

Garmin Tacx Neo 2T: Was $1,399.99, now $899.99 | Save 36% at Mike's Bikes

Garmin Tacx Neo 2T: Was $1,399.99, now $899.99 | Save 36% at Mike's Bikes

We rated the Neo 2T highly for its realistic ride feel - it even simulates riding over cobbles if you fancy experiencing Paris-Roubaix without leaving home.

We were also impressed with the power accuracy and the ERG mode. This discount takes it below $1000, so certainly a significant saving from the RRP.

Wahoo Kickr Move: Was $1,299.99, now $999.99 at Wahoo

Wahoo Kickr Move: Was $1,299.99, now $999.99 at Wahoo

The Wahoo Kickr Move is identical to the Wahoo Kickr for its overall performance, but it has one crucial difference – a built-in, dual-axis (back and forward) movement. This delivers a totally new dimension to your indoor turbo training, increasing overall comfort and providing a more realistic experience.

Wahoo Kickr: Was £1,099.99, now £899.99 at Wahoo

Wahoo Kickr: Was £1,099.99, now £899.99 at Wahoo

The Wahoo Kickr for UK shoppers is at an equally good price and is a superb way to enjoy indoor training. ERG mode is smooth and the ride feel is excellent. It can connect to Wahoo's ecosystem such as the Wahoo Kickr Climb and the Wahoo Headwind whilst auto calibration and firmware updates keep it accurate.

Garmin Tacx Flux S: Was £599.99, now £399.99 at Leisure Lakes

Garmin Tacx Flux S: Was £599.99, now £399.99 at Leisure Lakes

It's our best overall in the best smart trainers guide and an ideal indoor training companion. The Tacx Flux S will give you realistic, reliable and accurate performance and stats include power, speed and cadence.

Saris H3 Plus: Was £600.00, now £399.99 at Tredz

Saris H3 Plus: Was £600.00, now £399.99 at Tredz

The Saris H3 Plus is the top-of-the-line smart trainer in the Saris trainer range. It's handily engineered for seamless compatibility with 12-speed drivetrains, allowing even more indoor cyclists to enjoy the ride. It gives precise measurements with a margin of error of just +/- 2%.

Elite Suito T: was £639.99, now £399.99| Save 37% at Tredz

Elite Suito T: was £639.99, now £399.99 | Save 37% at Tredz

The Suito T is the same trainer as the Suito but comes without the cassette. If this isn't an issue (it's compatible with most 10, 11 and 12-speed cassettes from Shimano, Sram and Campagnolo), then you'll get all the benefits - simulated gradients up to 15%, for example - at a greatly reduced price.
