Black Friday is 'Zwiftly' approaching and the big online cycling retailers are already tempting shoppers with the best cycling discounts to beat Amazon at their own game. So if you're looking to get into indoor cycling or upgrade your existing indoor set-up, some of our top-rated smart indoor trainers are carrying discounts right now. These deals include our best overall recommendation – the Garmin Tacx Flux S which has $350 off at Garmin.

I've scoured the internet and found some of the best cheap turbo trainer deals with decent reductions. Any of these options will give you everything you need to get your best season of indoor winter cycling, but my own choice and recommendation is the Wahoo Kickr currently with a $200 / £200 discount at Wahoo.
