A lot of people take a cynical view of Amazon Prime Days. It’s a made up holiday specifically designed to get you to spend money. Still, if there’s good Amazon Prime Day cycling deals you might as well take advantage of them.
This is not an exhaustive list of every single thing remotely cycling related on sale during Amazon Prime Days. I looked for a few things I think are worth a purchase and are also on sale. Here’s what I found.
Garmin RTL515 (25% off)

I write about this unit all the time. Right now it’s even in our recently updated best bike lights buyers guide. It’s a rear light with a radar in it. When a car drives up behind you your bike computer will show a visible, and optional audio, notification that the car is there. You can decide how to respond but you’ll have the information and you won’t have to waste mental energy listening for a car all the time. It’s simple and it keeps you safer on a bike. The Garmin unit came out in 2019 but it’s still the best you can buy with longer battery life and battery accuracy. The only downside is an older, non-USBC, charge port.
This is a regular sale price but it’s down to $150 again so if you’ve been on the fence, grab it.
Garmin Edge 540 (23% off)

Last month a replacement for the Garmin Edge 540 hit the market in the form of the Garmin Edge 550. It’s a great computer but it kills battery life and adds expense. That makes this the perfect time to look at the Edge 540 and Garmin is making it even easier with a hefty discount.
Until the 550, the 540 was the least expensive top level Edge bike computer available. It offers all the capability of the most expensive Garmin Edge bike computers including what I’d call the best mapping of the major bike computer companies plus great battery life. The only compromise is that it loses the touchscreen functionality of the more expensive 800 series.
Losing that touchscreen isn’t a bad compromise but at full price a Coros Dura was a lot less money with great functionality.
That fact meant that in my best bike computer analysis I suggested either going more premium with Garmin or choosing the Dura. Now the Garmin Edge 540 is the same price as the Coros Dura and you should grab it before it’s gone. There’s a color screen and 26-hours of battery life (without battery saver) plus access to Garmin Connect. That means the 540 far surpasses the new unit for battery life and at the same price the Coros isn’t such an easy choice. The Dura still has way more battery life but the Edge 540 is more capable while still offering impressive battery life.
Suunto Sonic Bone Conduction headphones (21% off)

If you like to ride with headphones there’s no better solution for doing that then bone conduction headphones. They keep your ears free to hear your surroundings and if you want to stop your music all you have to do is reach up and press the button to make it as if you aren’t wearing headphones at all. Unlike wearing a single earbud it’s completely unobtrusive when not in use. The only downside is that bone conduction headphones aren’t great headphones off the bike and they can be prohibitively expensive to buy as a special use solution. The Suunto Sonic solves this problem with a great price.
The bone conduction headphones you’ve probably heard of are the Shokz Open Run Pro 2. The Suunto Sonic offers the same experience but better. The multi function button is a much more positive button press on the Suunto and when you activate the assistant it actually beeps while the Shokz doesn’t. The sound is the same too but you do have to use a magnetic charger instead of USBC. A small concession for a massive cost savings.
Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive (20% off)

It’s hard to say a lot about a saddle in the same passionate way that I talk about some of these products. A saddle either fits you or it doesn’t. The Antares is older design with a full length nose and a slight wave front to rear. This one is then the 3D printed version which means the padding is far more specific in its density vs placement on the saddle. Basically it’ll feel softer in some places and retain the stiffness of a high performance saddle only where needed. Since the Adaptive version is also the top model of any Fizik saddle, this also has carbon rails (7×9) and the weight for a 140mm width is 184 grams. If you like this saddle grab during prime day at 20% off.
Wahoo Elemnt Roam 3 (15% off)

This is another one of my picks in the best bike computers guide but it’s totally different from the Garmin computers. Garmin focuses on Garmin Connect as an important buying consideration and for a lot of people that adds unnecessary complexity. Wahoo keeps things incredibly simple to use and there’s a neat trick where you can always zoom in and show less data but bigger using the buttons on the side. The bold colors on the main display that signify zones are one of my favorite features on any bike computer. Also, unlike the Garmin that’s on sale, the Elemnt Roam 3 is the latest generation from Wahoo.
Wahoo Kickr Headwind (15% off)

This isn’t the cheapest this fan has been in recent memory but it’s close and this thing is a huge upgrade. You might be thinking of a regular fan and thinking this is ridiculous but I’ve used one of these for years and it’s incredible. The basic premise is that it’s a smart fan that can respond to a paired heart rate monitor or speed sensor and that is both true and a great feature. No need to keep a fan at full blast as you ride at a low pace. It also distracts from the fact that the fan itself is so good. It’s incredibly strong and very directed. If you ride indoors this is well worth the money.
Garmin Venu X1 (12.5% off)

This watch is brand new so it’s a surprise to see any discount but this is the second time it’s been this price recently. The last time was at Garmin directly and only lasted for a weekend. If you missed that, grab it here at Amazon.
Like I said, this is a brand new watch. I haven’t reviewed it yet but this is the watch I wear everyday and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Here’s the breakdown.
When it comes to fitness watches, cyclists are in a weird spot. Your watch is an important part of your training. It provides sleep data and heart rate data during the day. Those metrics help inform your recovery and upcoming training. On the bike though, wearing a watch isn’t awesome.
That reality is one of the things that makes Garmin a great ecosystem. If you have a Garmin watch and bike computer then you can take your watch off while you ride and the two data sources will seamlessly blend in Garmin Connect. Except that even in the Garmin ecosystem there hasn’t been a perfect watch in the past.
If you primarily use your watch for regular life you need something that’s a better smart watch than either the Fenix or Forerunner series. That would mean the Venu series except Venu was previously missing things like the morning report and training readiness scores.
The Venu X1 brings all these pieces together. Because you get the training pieces you need for integration with a bike computer you can also have Garmin tell you you’re unproductive (see header image) like me. You also get an amazing screen, 8 days of battery life, a comfortable band, and excellent usability for dealing with incoming messages. It’s a little like an Apple watch you only have to charge once a week but it has extra training details
