Welcome to Velo Deals. We sift through the retail landscape to bring you deals worth paying attention to. It might be a discount or it might just be a product so good you should grab it. Either way, if it\u2019s worth your time, you\u2019ll see it here. If you\u2019d like to see the rest of the category, check all our Velo Deals<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Day is perhaps the most cynical holiday of all time. Despite that, if you were going to buy something anyway, you might as well save money. I went looking for products I know and love that are also on sale. I managed to find 11 cycling Prime Day deals on gear I\u2019d tell you to buy any day of the year, now offered for less. There\u2019s a bit of a tech lean to Prime Day, so you will see that represented here, but I\u2019ve got some cycling nutrition in the mix as well.<\/p>\n

Wahoo Bolt 3 \u2013 36% off

Wahoo bike computers are all about simplicity. They are simple to use but don\u2019t skimp on what you need. The last piece of the puzzle Wahoo has lacked was self-training off the bike computer, and now there\u2019s access to Wahoo and Coros training dashboards. The ELEMNT Bolt 3 is likely going to be my best budget bike computer in future best bike computer buying guides<\/a>, and at 36% off, nothing else competes.<\/p>\n

SHOKZ OpenRun Pro 2 \u2013 31% off

If you like to listen to music while you ride, the absolute best way to do it is with bone conduction headphones, and SHOKZ is the market leader. You can still hear what is happening around you, and on top of that, they can\u2019t fall off, they\u2019ve got tons of battery life, and if you want to stop your music, a single button press lets them disappear without having to stash them in a pocket.<\/p>\n

Apple AirPods Pro 3 \u2013 28% off

The one challenge with bone conduction headphones is that they aren\u2019t the best choice off the bike, and the mic performance is universally bad. If you are looking for something that will stay secure on the bike (use just a single earbud) and works well in regular life, then Apple users want the AirPods Pro 3. I\u2019ve also tested these on a trainer with a fan at my face, and for the Apple ecosystem, this is what you want.<\/p>\n

Wahoo Fitness KICKR CORE 2 ZWIFT COG and Click \u2013 27% off

Winter is coming and that means Zwift for a lot of people. Wahoo is far and away the market leader when it comes to indoor trainers but the brand has a bit of a challenge on it\u2019s hands. The offerings have gotten so good over the years that it\u2019s hard to recommend the more expensive options. Adding the Cog and Click makes it even easier to add your outdoor bike. I have this as the best smart trainer for Zwift in my best smart trainers buyers guide and that means the best overall in my mind. Grab a great deal now before winter really hits.<\/p>\n

Skratch Labs Energy Chews \u2013 25% off

One of the keys to eating enough on long rides is mixing textures and flavors. I generally drink my calories when riding, but I always carry chews so I can stop briefly and chew something.<\/p>\n

Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel \u2013 20% off

Like I said, I tend to prefer to drink my calories on the bike, and this is my go-to choice. There\u2019s a decent amount of sodium and a sweet, but not sickly, flavor profile. You can also choose an option with caffeine if that is your preference.<\/p>\n

SaltStick Energy Chews Energy Gummies \u2013 20% off

There\u2019s science behind the idea that cramps come from a hyper-excited motor neuron repeatedly misfiring and locking the muscle up, rather than just dehydration or an electrolyte imbalance, and that it\u2019s possible to make it stop with a shock to the vagus nerve. That shock comes from sour foods, so I also carry sour Salt Stick Energy Gummies with me. To be clear, Salt Stick doesn\u2019t make this claim, and its gummies might not be sour enough. I don\u2019t worry too much though because they still taste delicious and the cramp relief is just a potential bonus. You also get 130 mg of salt per packet, so that helps with cramps too.<\/p>\n

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 \u2013 22% off

If you aren\u2019t in the Apple ecosystem, then I find the choice for headphones that are perfect for on and off the bike to be a lot more wide open. I\u2019ve gone back and forth with different companies who offer a little more this or that, but in the end, I keep coming back to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 because the mic is really good and there\u2019s such easy access to Gemini. For Android users who want headphones that will work just as well off the bike as on, this is my choice.<\/p>\n

Insta360 GO Ultra \u2013 16% off

If you enjoy the videos that I put out for Velo, this is one of the two cameras that I use. Insta360 has a huge range of fantastic products, but I\u2019ve settled into the GO Ultra as my second camera, which I attach to my jersey for a second point of view. It\u2019s also a fantastic choice for regular life as you can use it as a tiny still\/video travel camera when it\u2019s docked. You can read my full Insta360 GO Ultra review<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

GoPro Mission 1 Pro \u2013 14% off

The other camera I use to make videos is the Mission 1 Pro. As good as Insta360 and DJI are, nothing else currently competes with the quality of the Mission 1 Pro. This is a professional-level tool for anyone serious about the best quality content. You can read more in my full GoPro Mission 1 Pro review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garmin Venu X1 \u2013 13% off
\n\"Garmin<\/a>(Photo Josh Ross\/Velo)<\/p>\n

One of the best things about Garmin is the way that the ecosystem lets you move between devices seamlessly. I don\u2019t have to wear a strap or a watch while I ride because I have a Garmin bike computer (not on sale for Prime Day). When I get off the bike and put on the watch, the data seamlessly switches so that\u2019s all uninterrupted in Garmin Connect. That opens up a small need for something different in my watch, though. I want something that looks good and works as a smartwatch as much as a fitness watch. That\u2019s where the Garmin Venu X1 fits in.<\/p>\n

Bonus \u2013 DJI RS 4 Mini Combo \u2013 33% off
\n\"DJI<\/a>(Photo: DJI)<\/p>\n

I am throwing this one on the list because I\u2019ll probably grab one myself while it\u2019s on sale. I can\u2019t really make this cycling-specific somehow, but if you want to know how I get the silky smooth B-roll of the bikes you see in the videos, I use the DJI RS 3 Mini. The 4 folds flat for travel, and the combo version tracks movement. I\u2019ve had my eye on it for a while, so this might be my moment. I found another deal you took advantage of and I\u2019m not including, drop it in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Navigating Amazon’s cynical retail holiday is an exhausting chore.
