Best Black Friday cycling clothing deals 2024: Early Black Friday deals on helmets, shoes and apparel

Shimano XC5 (SH-XC502) Shoes: Was $175.00, now $131.25 | Save 25% at Amazon

Shimano's range of XC shoes has fallen out of favour in recent years, particularly with gravel riders after the introduction of the RX8 and Shimano's Gravel-specific shoes. This doesn't make them bad at all, the XC5 still offers great value and of course, being a Shimano shoe comes with a certain quality stamp.

Specialized Recon ADV Shoes: Was $225, now $169 | Save 25% at Specialized

Specialized does a brilliant job across their Recon range of blending styles with performance and practicality. While we await a full review, Tyler put down his first impressions, he said "they’re very comfortable and transfer power adequately".

Showers Pass Transit Pants: Was $145, now $69 | Save 52% at Shower Pass

The Transit Pants from Showers Pass might not be the most breathable waterproof trousers but, they are seriously waterproof. If you want to stay dry during your commute or ride an e-bike, the Showers Pass Transit pants could be the perfect trousers.

7mesh Industries Mk3 Cargo Bibs: Was $229.95, now $183.96 | Save 20% at Competitive Cyclist

By no means is this a big discount, especially in the grand scheme of Black Friday, it's just so rare to see 7Mesh clothing at a discount. It's noteworthy because the Mk3 Cargo Bibs came close to beating out the Assos Mille GTC Kiespanzer in our best cargo bibs test. So, at nearly $90 off the Assos price with this discount, they represent far greater value.

Smith Optics Triad Mips Helmet: Was $190, now $114 | Save 40% at Smith Optics

While we are yet to test the Triad, Hannah was a big fan of Smith Optics Trace Mips when she had that in for test last year. While the Triad looks less vented then the Trace it actually has one more, making it 19 vents over the Trace's 18. It's a much slimmer, more streamline design which should go down well with those looking to minimise their drag.

Adidas Tempo 3-Stripes BOA: Was £160, now £84.80 | Save 47% at Adidas

I love the nostalgia in the styling of the Tempo 3-Stripes. Their nod to the original Predator football boots of the mid-90s and early 2000s is a welcome one. Adidas claims the Tempo 3-Stripe offers a shoe comfortable enough to use in any scenario. The use of 20% recycled materials is a nice addition and good to see from a brand as big as Adidas.

Giro Privateer Lace Gravel Shoe: Was £139, now £88 | Save 37% at Sigma Sports

Originally designed as an XC MTB shoe the Privateer Lace has transferred to gravel and CX usage almost seamlessly and is our favourite Lace-up shoe for Gravel riding. Offering a great balance of power transfer while not compromising grip and flexibility, which is what helped make them a popular choice. The laces add a touch of retro style and unlimited adjustment.

Specialized S-Works Torch Road Shoe: Was £350, now £175 | Save 50% at Sigma Sports

For good reason, the S-Works Torch is our top-rated road cycling shoe. It just ticks all the boxes; light, stiff, comfortable and they just look so good. Let's face it, Specialized rarely makes a bad product and even rarer when it's stamped with their flagship S-Works branding.

Fizik X4 Powerstrap Gravel Shoes: Was £159.99, now £119.99 | Save 25% at Tredz

Digital Editor Michelle was a big fans of the X4 powerstrap when she tested them, finding great comfort in infinite adjustment of those straps. It is a shoe that is better suited to dry conditions though, making them ideal for straddles road and light gravel duties.

Giro Aries Spherical Mips Helmet: Was £299.99, now £199.99 | Save 33% at Sigma Sports

Giro consistently performs well, with many of their helmets featuring in our best helmet guides and even taking the best overall and best all-rounder with the Eclipse and Aether. The Aries Spherical is the #1 rated helmet by Virginia Tech, making it the safest bicycle helmet in the world.

Gore Wear Men's Torrent Jacket: Was £229.99, now £137.99 | Save 40% at Amazon UK

Gore describes the Torrent Jacket as a "race oriented, slim fitting, and highly breathable GORE-TEX jacket". Given its use of Gore-tex fabric, it is highly likely to perform well and at only 200 grams, it is pretty light for a fully waterproof jacket.

Castelli Perfetto RoS 2 Vest: Was £160, now £79 | Save 40% at Sigma Sport

The Perfetto RoS 2 is one of the most versatile vests thanks to its use of Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper fabric, making it highly weatherproof and ideal for changing conditions.
