Cycling Weekly Rated
The Ibex 2.0 from HJC is light at just 220 grams, it features good ventilation thanks to 16 strategically placed vents and its slim, racy profile very much looks the part. It also has a unique retention system. Cycling Weekly’s James Bracey said of this lid: "it has to be one of the most comfortable helmets I have ever tested and the fit is fantastic." This glowing review earned the HJC a Cycling Weekly Editor's Choice Award in 2020 and you can’t put a price on comfort. Although, 50% off sure does help.

Cycling Weekly’s Hannah Bussey says it all in her summary of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Tubeless Tyres: "Ticking every tyre checklist box on top of making tubeless as easy as setting up clinchers, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Tubeless Complete tyres are outstanding. We can't really think of any good reason why you wouldn't buy them."
Set up comes easily enough with Hannah sighting the tyre pumped up with just a track pump which will be music to most ears. Available in 25 and 28mm, it could be the upgrade that unlocks you more speed and comfort this summer. Everything is faster when it is 35% off right?
Goodyear Eagle F1 Tubeless Ready Tyre: Was £59.95 Now £39.99

Rims Brakes Ain’t Dead! When looking at the best part of £1,000 to get yourself a disc brake-equipped road bike, caliper brake bikes are still well worth considering, as these bikes will be lighter and likely have better equipment. Performance between a good caliper brake and a low-cost mechanical disc brake is negligible and if I had the choice, I would be looking at the caliper brake-equipped models. That's why Evans Cycles in-house brand Pinnacle Bikes sticks with the good old caliper brake, reiterated by Cycling Weekly writer Paul Grele in his highly rated 4.5 Stars review of the Laterite 2; "this is a well designed bike for a low price. It rides nicely with predictable handling and good braking," he said.
Pinnacle Laterite 2 Road Bike: Was £799.99 Now £579.99
At 30% off The Laterite 2 offers an even greater value entry into road cycling.

Roval is known for its performance-enhancing wheels and because of that, they sit at the dreamier end of the price range with the likes of Zipp and Enve, with both the Rapide CLX and the Alpinist CLX having scored well with Cycling Weekly reviewer Anne-Mairje Rook in recent years.
The Rovals - as you would expect from high-end wheels - have second-to-none aero performance providing a fast yet stable ride, solid build quality and impact resistance, with a secure hooked tubeless set-up. This is a rare opportunity to bag yourself some high-end wheels with a decent 20% discount.
Up to 20% of Roval Wheels including Rapide & Alpinist CLX
Roval set a high standard across the board, there aren’t many that boast better performance and even fewer that have £500 off.

Whyte Bikes seem to know a thing or two about riding off-road, as over the years their range of full suspension and hardtail mountain bikes has stacked up hundreds of top-rated reviews and awards. You would be forgiven for thinking the Whyte Friston is a mountain bike when you first glance at the specifications; 180mm rotors, a drop post, 45mm knobbly tyres, a MTB-inspired short stem and a wide bar set-up. It is only the drop bar and the rigid carbon fork that get it categorised as a gravel bike. So, whether you are looking to ride further off-road, explore the path less travelled or you just like to be always under-biked, the Whyte Friston might be a good place to start especially now it is at 30% off.
Whyte Friston Gravel Bike: Was £2299 Now £1609.00
An MTB-inspired Gravel Bike that could unlock new avenues in your riding.

A classic-looking shoe that has high levels of ergonomic design and industry-leading BOA fasteners. Tipped as an all-round road shoe the Fizik Tempo R5 Overcurve looks to cover most riders whether you are country lane cruising or smashing it on the front of the chain gang. Fizik shoes have always performed well during testing here at Cycling Weekly, I would imagine the Tempo R5 is no different. With 50% off it is worth the punt.

The revolutionary Premio stretch woven fabrics developed by Castelli for a range of clothing under the same name look to tip the balance towards comfort without compromising performance. Using the Fabric in different ways provides different performances. The ribbed fabric on the arm keeps aero efficiency high and the sleeve tight. The softer, lightweight torso fabric keeps comfort and temperatures under control. Other garments using the Premio fabric have scored well with reviewers here at Cycling Weekly and it is always nice to have the matching jersey, now 50% off.
Castelli Premio Short Sleeve Jersey: Was £175.00 Now £88.00
It is great to see big brands like Castelli up the recycled content of their fabrics whilst still having a heavy performance-orientated garment.
