Handpicked cycling deals from Amazon Prime Day 2023 - discounts on Garmin, Castelli and more
If you're feeling a strong sense of déjà vu, you're not far wrong - Amazon is hosting its second Prime Day of the year and we're here hunting out the best deals on cycling kit
Prime Day deals jump menu
It really hasn't been long since Amazon's last sales event - just three months ago and slap bang in the middle of the 2023 Tour de France. Back then Jasper Philipsen had just claimed his fourth (and, ultimately, final) sprint victory of the Tour, and Jonas Vingegaard's GC lead stood at a modest 17 seconds over Tadej Pogačar.
Still, the US retail giant has already followed up with a second bite of the cherry: Prime Day 2 is currently live and will be running until midnight today (October 11).
As such, we've been trawling through the virtual aisles, picking out the best deals on everything from bike computers to bib shorts, smartwatches to sunglasses, and rounding them up here.
You'll need an Amazon Prime membership to access the full range of Prime Day deals. The good news is that you can take out a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, put your order through and cancel the membership straight after.

Garmin Edge 530: was $269.99 now $249.99
Although it doesn't pack a touchscreen - or the fancy training analytics of the new Garmin Edge 540 - the venerable Edge 530 is still one of the best cycling computers for navigation, data screens and a battery life good for 12 hour rides.
Price check: Backcountry $299.99 | Competitive Cyclist $299.99
Garmin Edge 1030 Plus cycle computer: was $399.99 now $371.00 at Amazon
True, a large factor in the reduction is that the Garmin Edge 1040 has taken the spot at the top of the new model range - but if you're not fussed about the new fancy analytics and a large touchscreen with quality mapping is your priority, then this is a deal worth snapping up.

Garmin Fenix 6 Pro: was $599.99 now $499.99 at Amazon
With TOPO mapping, fitness tracking and much else besides, the Fenix 6 Pro is a rugged and versatile smartwatch for a whole range of different sports. Although it's since been surpassed by the Fenix 7, that just means this functionality is available at a more competitive price - across retailers.
Price check: Walmart $509.99
Garmin Forerunner 245: was $349.99 now $239.95 at Amazon
Another older model now much reduced, the Forerunner 200 series has since seen a Forerunner 255 as well as the 265. But if you don't need the incremental improvements to battery life or GPS accuracy - the Forerunner 245 is just as good as it ever was for tracking your activities with GPS and heart rate.

Shokz OpenRun: was $129.95, now $89.95 at Amazon
We were very impressed when we had the Shokz OpenRun on review, finding that they were incredibly sweat resistant and comfortable to wear - whilst also offering good sound quality (for bone conduction headphones).
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen): was $249.00, now $199.00 at Amazon
Apple's AirPods are ubiquitous for good reason - the audio quality, charge life and seamless connectivity with Apple devices makes them a no-brainer in so many cases. You can check out how they fared in our Apple AirPods Pro 2 review over here.
Price check: Walmart $199.00
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live: was $117.79 now $79.99 at Amazon
Active noise cancelling buds that pack a 12mm speaker with enhanced bass and air vents that are designed to create spacious audio.

Magicshine RN 1200: was $74.99, now $59.99 at Amazon
Magicshine has really impressed us with the quality, performance and price of its lights - and this model is even smarter, being able to act as a power bank to charge up your phone or other device in a pinch.
Wahoo Kickr Core: was $599.99 now $569.99
Amazon's discount works out as only 5% off, but most retailers - including Wahoo itself - are selling the trainer for $899.95, so $569.99 is actually a substantial saving.
The Wahoo Kickr Core has long been one of the best entry-level direct-drive indoor trainers, blending the performance you need with a more affordable price tag.
Price check: Backcountry $899.99 | Competitive Cyclist $899.99
Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit U-lock: was $153.95, now $110.20 at Amazon
Kryptonite's 'ultimate' U-lock boasts a beefy 18mm shackle and its highest security disc-style cylinder for pick and drill resistance. It scores 10/10 on Kryptonite's own security scale and has been awarded the top-level Diamond rating in Sold Secure's independent testing.
Elite Suito-T indoor trainer: was $599.99, now $473.80 at Amazon
The Elite Suito-T is a close contender to the Wahoo Kickr Core - its claimed accuracy is a little less at ±2.5% compared to ±2.0%, but it has a higher maximum resistance at 1,900w. The folding legs are especially useful for a compact pack-size when not in use.
Garmin HRM-Pro Plus: was $129.99, now $98.30 at Amazon
With the ability to store data directly on the device itself, you don't even need to connect up a smartwatch or head unit to get your heart rate or running dynamics data on your Garmin Connect account. Fully waterproof, too, this is a great option for those who cross-train and triathletes.
Price check: Jenson USA $129.99 | The Pro's Closet $109.99
Original Peloton Bike: was $1,445.00, now $1,095.00
We've reviewed the Peloton indoor training bike and found it's a good option if you're not looking for specific cycling metric data - and great if you lack motivation or just like the ease of taking a class at anytime from home.
GoPro HERO11 Black: was $499.99 now $349.00 at Amazon
GoPro's Hero 11 Black features 'Hypersmooth 5.0' video, can take 27 megapixel still images and can automatically upload footage to the cloud with highlight videos while charging. It is certainly a contender for best action camera on the market.

Price check: Backcountry $71.99 | Competitive Cyclist $104.99
Gore Wear C5 Men's Cycling Bib Shorts: Was $120.00 now $70.00 at Amazon
The C5 bib shorts sit in a sweet spot in Gore's range - expensive enough to feature a quality chamois pad and wide leg grippers, but without coming in at the very top of the price range. It also means that when they're discounted, the value really is incredible.
Price check: Backcountry $120.00 | Competitive Cyclist $120.00
Gore Wear Men's C5 short sleeve jersey: Was $100.00 now from $62.00 at Amazon
Similar to the bib shorts, the C5 jersey balances an aerodynamic and close fit with a more reasonable price point. It has a full length zipper, three rear pockets and a small zipped pocket for coins, keys and offer valuables.

Castelli men's Perfetto RoS 2 Limited Edition Convertible Jacket: was $329.99 now $124.63 at Competitive Cyclist
Castelli's Perfetto RoS jacket is a firm favorite at Cycling Weekly. It delivers the protection of jacket with the fit of a jersey to create a piece of kit that's ideally suited to racing and training in wet and cold weather. This limited edition version converts into a short sleeve jersey thanks to some useful zippers.
Despite being Amazon Prime Day there are great deals to be had elsewhere, especially on cycling clothing where other retailers sometimes trump Amazon on price and selection - this Castelli jacket is a great example of that, with Competitive Cyclist discounting it by an incredible 61%.
Price check: Backcountry $124.63
Giordana men's FR-C Short-Sleeve Pro Lyte Jersey: was $224.95 now from $81.06 at Competitive Cyclist

Giordana's FR-C Pro Lyte does all of those things in a remarkably lightweight package. Other features include a full length zipper and three rear pockets.
The best Prime Day deals on this summer jersey aren't to be found on Amazon, with Competitive Cyclist discounting it by as much as 56% in certain color and size combinations.

Garmin Edge 530: was £259.99 now £219.99 at Amazon
The Garmin Edge 530 has now been surpassed by the Edge 540 (as well as its Solar twin) - but there is still a lot going for the older model. It might not have as long a battery life or the advanced training analysis, but it is significantly cheaper, provides clear navigation, and packs enough juice to easily manage 12-hour rides.
Price check: Sigma Sport £219.00
Hammerhead Karoo 2: was £359.00, now £235.00 at Sigma Sports
Other than the Garmin Edge 530, Amazon's bike computer deals are pretty poor this Prime Day. Never mind, as it happens there are good deals at other retailers - the Karoo 2 is an excellent bike computer with a uniquely simple and straightforward interface. Currently 35% off.

Garmin Fēnix 7 Solar Smartwatch: was £689.99, now £627.89
As one of Garmin's flagship smartwatches, the Fenix 7 packs in a host of features. It has full topographic mapping, a suite of health tracking features - including Heart Rate Variability - and can even recharge in the sun. You can check out our thoughts from our full Garmin Fēnix 7 Solar Smartwatch review over here, but suffice to say that it impressed.
Price check: Argos £689.99
Garmin Forerunner 245: was £249.99, now £184.92 at Amazon
There have been two new 200 series Forerunners since the 245 was first released (the 255 and 265) - and whilst those newer and shinier models boast incremental improvements such as faster connecting GPS and longer battery life, the 245 is still the reliable workhorse that it was. If you want a GPS watch which can track your rides as well as providing Advanced Running Dynamics, the 245 is as good as it ever was - and now much cheaper.
Price check: Tredz £274.99 | Tweeks Cycles £250.00
Garmin Forerunner 55: was £179.99 now £130.90 at Amazon
Garmin's has a raft of smartwatch ranges, but the Forerunner series typically is the best value for most people. The Forerunner 55 here is the latest iteration of the entry-level smartwatch in that model range (the Forerunner 965 is where the top of the tree currently rests). Compared to the Forerunner 45, the battery life is doubled, you get better pacing and recovery recommendations and there's menstrual tracking directly on the watch (rather than having to use the phone app).

Adidas FWD-02 Sport headphones: was £139.95, now £127.32 at Amazon
During testing we found that the FWD-02 really stayed in place, likely making them a good fit if you've struggled with in-ear headphones in the past. As well as the 'lock-in' design we rated them highly for both their ambient noise cancellation and their active noise option. The recharging case is also a neat addition, meaning that when you store them after use they begin charging.
Price check: Adidas £140.00
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live: was £139.00 now £68.00 at Amazon
The Galaxy Buds feature are noise cancelling and feature 12mm speakers with enhanced bass plus air vents that are designed to create spacious audio.

Magicshine RAY 1600: was £72.99, now £54.74 at Amazon
We've been highly impressed by the performance, power and price of the Magicshine lights we've tested - it's rare you get quite such a combination. This model is particularly neat, with USB-C charging that can also double as a battery pack for topping up your phone in a pinch.
Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit U-lock: was £119.99, now $88.99 at Amazon
Kryptonite's 'ultimate' U-lock boasts a beefy 18mm shackle and its highest security disc-style cylinder for pick and drill resistance. It scores 10/10 on Kryptonite's own security scale and has been awarded the top-level Diamond rating in Sold Secure's independent testing.
Tacx Neo 2 SE Smart Trainer: was £1,199.99, now £649.99 at Wiggle
The massive Tacx discounts have returned! Last year there was a run of these 'Special Edition' trainers being discounted - but it seems that Tacx still has more it needs to shift.
The difference between the SE and the 2T is that the latter has native thru-axle compatibility - you pop your bike on like swapping a wheel. The SE comes with an adapter for mounting your bike - other than that, it's the same top-end trainer from Tacx.
Original Peloton Bike: was £1,350.00, now £1,095.00
We've reviewed the Peloton indoor training bike and found it's a good option if you're not looking for specific cycling metric data - and great if you lack motivation or just like the ease of taking a class at anytime from home.
Garmin HRM-Dual: was £59.99, now £47.77
This heart rate monitor has been a mainstay of Garmin's range for years. It doesn't have the extra functionality of being able to record data directly onto the device or go swimming - but if you always hook up your HRM to a bike computer or smartwatch and only run or ride, there's no point in paying extra for functionality you don't need.
Price check: Wiggle £44.99 | Sigma Sports £44.00
Garmin HRM-Pro: was £119.99 now £84.90 at Amazon
Garmin improve the band on this updated heart rate monitor, being now more flexible and comfortable. If you do a range of cross-training, you can benefit from the HRM recording your data locally - so you can complete a swim without it being connected to a device and just sync your data afterwards.
