What This Gravel Gear Sale Roundup Covers
This gravel riding gear sale roundup highlights discounted premium components and accessories, including gravel bike wheels, race-focused tyres, performance helmets, footwear, and ride-ready storage, all chosen to help riders prepare their bikes and bodies for demanding events or long off-road adventures while saving a meaningful amount of money at checkout. For riders targeting big gravel races such as Unbound Gravel or simply upgrading their gravel riding equipment ahead of a busy season, several high-end products have dropped to attention-grabbing prices. Key offers include carbon gravel bike wheels from Zipp for under £1,000, race-ready Schwalbe tyres with a 26% discount, and a Specialized Propero 4 helmet for £129. Add in reduced-price shoes, bar bags, chain lube, insulated bottles and an AXS gravel groupset, and there are options to refresh most of a bike without paying full retail.
Zipp 303 XPLR S Carbon Wheels and Schwalbe G-One RS Tyres
For riders upgrading their gravel bike wheels, the Zipp 303 XPLR S Carbon Tubeless Wheelset stands out. These wheels use a wide 32mm internal rim, aimed at larger gravel tyres and lower pressures while keeping an aero focus. Zipp claims a weight of 1,642g, and they are currently available for £979 at Merlin Cycles. Paired with them, the Schwalbe G-One RS tyre in a 50mm width is discounted to £36.99 at Tredz, with a 26% saving. These tyres suit dry, hard-packed courses where speed matters most. Schwalbe calls them its fastest gravel tyres for that terrain, and they have been praised in independent rankings for feeling among the quickest options in dry conditions. Together, this wheel-and-tyre combination offers a high-performance upgrade path for race-focused riders.
Bike Helmet Discount: Specialized Propero 4 for Event Riders
Helmet deals are rare on newer models, which makes the current price on the 2024 Specialized Propero 4 MIPS Helmet notable. This second-tier road lid sits below the flagship S-Works range and is available from 99 Bikes for £129, less than half the price of the latest S-Works Evade that retails for £279. Specialized has blended features from the aero-focused Evade and the highly ventilated Prevail, giving the Propero 4 a balance of aerodynamics and cooling that suits long gravel events. It includes Mips protection and has earned a 5-star safety rating from Virginia Tech. Riders who want one helmet for fast gravel races, endurance road rides and mixed-surface training can treat this as a strong all-round option, especially while this bike helmet discount is active.
Gravel Shoes, Bar Bag and Chain Lube Deals
Beyond the headline carbon cycling gear deals, there are useful discounts on supporting gravel riding equipment. Fizik’s Terra Atlas gravel shoes drop to £124.99 at Winstanley’s Bikes with a 21% saving, combining an X5 Nylon outsole, rubber tread, a single BOA dial and a TPU-reinforced toecap for mixed off-road use. For storage, Rapha’s Explore Bar Bag is reduced by 40% at Team Cycles, offering a water-resistant, bar-mounted option with Velcro straps and an integrated shoulder strap that converts it into a crossbody bag off the bike. Chainside, Muc-Off’s Ludicrous AF Lube, described as the brand’s “world’s fastest race lube”, falls from an RRP of £49.99 to £19.99 at Sigma Sports, while remaining biodegradable, petroleum-free and made from renewable sources, making it attractive for performance-focused riders.
Groupset and Hydration: SRAM Rival XPLR and MAAP Bottle
Riders planning a full drivetrain refresh can look at the SRAM Rival XPLR AXS E1 1×13 groupset, which is now £1,099.99 at Fawkes Cycles. This brings 13-speed gravel gearing into a more accessible price band and borrows the direct-mount design from the SRAM Red XPLR groupset, along with the updated ergonomics from the latest SRAM Red AXS shifters. The range also gains carbon fibre brake levers and a lighter crankset for a more refined ride feel. To keep fluids cool on long gravel events, the MAAP Chromatek Insulated Bottle is another discounted upgrade. The 680ml, BPA-free bottle features a Chromatek liner to help maintain drink temperature and a heart valve spout aimed at leak-free, high-flow use. MAAP currently has five colours available at £16, with all options 57% off on its website.
