Rapha's loss, your gain: prices slashed sitewide over Black Friday weekend amid profitability concerns
The British clothing brand unveils an almost unheard-of 25% discount across its entire product range for the Black Friday sale period
In an unprecedented move, Rapha has price dropped pretty much everything on its website by an impressive 25% for Black Friday only.
USA: Rapha website
UK: Rapha Website
This price slash follows recent reports of how Rapha focused on increasing 'profitability and resilience' as losses deepen by over £10 million, meaning seven years in the red.
It's also an opportunity for anyone who missed out on the brand's last discount period when Rapha slashed prices in 'summer sale'. Although that was limited to certain products, it was one of our biggest stories at the time, with riders hoping to grab a bargain.
This time around, the only items that are not part of the promotion are the brand-new Rapha Gore-Tex rain jacket and gift vouchers.
This incredibly rare sitewide discount, using code BF2024 at the checkout, is likely to be even more popular, so we advise you not to wait until the official Black Friday weekend to make your purchase, as we suspect items will start selling out soon.
To give you a headstart, we've hand-picked our favourite Rapha deals on products that feature in our best-of-buying guides, meaning you save money on the creme de la creme of the cycling kit.
