Fitbit Sense Advanced Smartwatch: was $299.95, now $249.95 at Best Buy
This Fitbit Sense has the ability to track all the usual fitness metrics, but also the capabilities to deep dive in to health data such as stress responses, monitor heart rhythm, and helping you stay alert if you fall out of set parameters. With on board GPS, Bluetooth for hands-free calls and built in Google Assist or Amazon Alexa, this could be the idea cross over fitness/ life organising watch.

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: now $599.99, now $371.00 at Amazon

We really rated the Garmin Edge 1030 when we reviewed it, finding it's features and functions very user friendly. It's one of the largest Garmin bike computers, but this does make maps and other data metrics, such as power, easy to read. It gains all of Garmin's nifty virtual coaching features, and is more off road friendly thanks to a specific mode setting. This discount is a fair one, but be aware that the brand has also just bought out it's latest flagship model the Garmin Edge 1040, making this no longer the range topper, meaning that discounted units are more likely in a few shops, so check the quick links above before you buy.

Fitbit Versa 2 Health and Fitness Smartwatch: was $149.95, now $139.99 at Amazon
The onboard GPS makes this more advanced than a regular fitness tracker, with real-time pace and distance visible. Keep on top of your health goals with the heart rate monitor and the ability to receive a daily readiness score, to make sure you fully rested. Google Assist or Amazon Alexa built in and 6 months Fitbit Premium trial to boot.

Garmin Instinct: was $249.99, now $170.09 at Amazon
The Garmin Instinct is the brand's most rugged GNSS watch, designed and constructed up to US Military standard for thermal, shock and water resistance (up to 100meters) making this a great all rounder for anyone who's pretty tough on their equipment. Multi-satellite receiving should give you better pin point accuracy on tracking, ideal for dense forest or urban canyons. Tracks all the usual fitness data and comes with an extra long battery life of up to 14 days between charges.

Saris H3: was $1,099.99 now $649.99 at Amazon

It might not have quite all the fancy extra features as the top end Wahoo and Tacx models do. But if gravel simulation and compatibility with a front riser unit are just gimmicks you don't need – then why pay more?  It's a great value option that's made all the better by the current hefty discount. You can read our full review of the Saris H3 here.  

Wahoo Kickr Snap turbo trainer: was $499.99, now $399.99 at Competitive Cyclist

The advent of direct drive indoor trainers means that there are plenty of deals to be had on wheel-on trainers, just like this Kickr Snap from Wahoo. For those with less space the folding design makes it an ideal choice, while still offering the smart technology associated with direct drive trainers. In fact, in our guide to the best turbo trainers we rated it as the best non-direct drive machine on the market.

Beats Studio Buds: was $149.95, now $119.99 at Amazon

If bone conduction isn't for you and noise cancelling is a higher priority – Beats' Studio Buds are a great option for hard workouts. Lightweight and unobtrusive, they're super comfortable – and with an IPX4 rating, they're sweat resistant too. 

Exposure Diablo MK12 Front Light: was $271.00, now $229.20 at Walmart

But at 1,800 lumens, it also makes a compact handlebar mounted option for road riding and commuting. 

Garmin HRM-Dual: was $69.99, now $52.00 at Amazon

Tacx has recently released an updated model – the Tacx Neo Bike Plus – which means that the original Bike Smart is now available at some pretty handy discounts.

Elite Arion Mag Parabolic Folding Rollers: was $379.99 now $284.95 at Competitive Cyclist 

We really liked these rollers when we had them on review. The smart tech they incorporate is very similar to that of an indoor trainer – the Zwift (and other indoor app) compatibility, the climbing simulation and the power data (although ours did overread significantly). We've checked the other cycling retailers and 25% is the best discount right now and much better than Amazon. Stock levels look good too.

De'Longhi EC885M Dedica Arte Espresso Machine: was $399.95, now $299.95 at Amazon
Big savings on this super stylish machine that has a narrow 6in footprint but a 15bar pressure so you can brew barista-quality beverages at home before or after your ride.

Sunny Health & Fitness indoor exercise bike: $299.99 $135.28 at Amazon

It's a basic option, but at this price the ideal way to keep you moving through the dark winter months when outdoors doesn't have the same appeal. It's all mechanical so no extra draw on electrics, but you might want to jump on a virtual spin class for motivation

These were a most wanted pair of casual cycling kicks for a long time, so now to find them with an over half price saving is a seriously good deal.  Our Adidas Velosamba reviewer really liked them, so act quick as they are going pretty fast.

We haven't reviewed the men's version of these tights, but we have tested the women's – so we can comment on the performance of the fabrics if not this exact cut and fit.

There is currently availability in all sizes – but only in blue.
