This week, we’ve been inspired by the improving weather and the cobbled classic races – including today’s Tour of Flanders – to upgrade our bikes. If you’ve been riding through the winter, this might just be the moment to replace your worn groupset with Shimano’s top of the range Dura-Ace Di2. Or you might fancy a shiny new Fizik saddle.
Or if you’re looking to hammer over some rougher surfaces, a new set of Challenge Strada Bianca tyres should help smooth the way for you.
The products featured have been chosen because we know they’re good quality and are an excellent offer at the price we’ve included (at the time of writing). Our tech team have unrivalled expertise and years of experience testing new products, so you can trust our recommendations – and we also know what represents a good deal. Where we’ve reviewed the product we’ve included a link to it so you can read more.
With each product is a ‘Buy Now’ link. If you click on this then we may receive a small amount of money from the retailer when you purchase the item. This doesn’t affect the amount you pay.

If you’re looking to upgrade your groupset, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 is pretty much king of the 11-speed electronic roost right now. And you can save £1250 on the rim brake option with this deal.
Or if you’re a disc brake bike rider, there’s almost £1000 saving on the Dura-Ace Di2 R9170 groupset, now selling for £2249.99.

Saddle looking a bit the worse for wear after the winter? Merlin Cycles is offering the pro-looking Arione R3 saddle with £50 off the SRP right now. It’s for the Snake who’s flexible enough for a low riding position. If you fit into Fizik’s Chameleon or Bull categories, there are similar deals on a range of other Fizik saddles too.
Challenge Strada Bianca Open tyre was £58.99 now £29.99
If you’ve been inspired by the cobbled classics and last month’s Strade Bianche to take on some rougher road surfaces, Challenge’s extra-wide tyre will help smooth the way for you. It’s available in either 30mm or 36mm options, if you’ve got wider tyre clearances on your bike.
