Mavic Crossmax Elite 27.5 MTB Wheels was £499.00, n0w £349.00

Save 30%! At a mere 22mm internal width, these Crossmax Elite wheels aren’t heavy duty enduro hoops but are more geared towards the narrower tyre XC end of the riding spectrum. Having said that, they would make for an ideal second wheelset to have in store for skinner tyre duties such as bikepacking or even all-out mud-bath thrashing.

Cannondale Cypher MTB Helmet was £99.99, now £49.99

Save 50%! Loads of vents (thirty in total, thirty!) combined with a peak and a retention band, the Cypher is a very airy and regular riding helmet. At its proper price of one hundred pounds it’s a tad on the pricey side (considering it doesn’t includes MIPS liner etc) but at this fifty quid level, it’s a great deal.

Fidlock Twist Bottle 450 Kit was £29.99, now £25.00

Save 17%! Even if your bike can fit a bottle cage in it, chances are it’s a bit of tight squeeze getting the bottle in and out of it, especially while riding along. As the name suggests, this is the 450ml capacity option, which is rather modest but arguably bang-on for a lot of folks’ typical ride demands (it’s not just us who frequently finish rides way before our bottles are empty).

Schwalbe Dirty Dan Ultra Soft Addix 27.5 Tyre was £64.99, now £44.99

Save 31%! Bear with us while we proselytise about this special hoop of rubber. It may not be one of the latest designs but the Dirty Dan does not need to change. It is an exceptionally capable mud tyre particularly if you riding mud of steep gradient.

Dirty Deals don’t last forever

The intrinsic nature of sales is that they don’t last forever. They are on for a limited time; either the stock sells out and there’s none left, or the price goes back up again once the sales promotion is over. In other words, check the date when this story was published (see top of page, publication dates is listed next to the author name) to see when these deals were announced and act fast.
