Amazon Prime Big Deals Days now on, with discounts and bargains from the likes of DJI, Maxxis, Fox, Rapha, Santa Cruz, Sealskinz and more
Amazon Prime’s Big Deals Days is open for business, it’s a 48 hour flash sale exclusively for Prime customers, and includes a wealth of mountain bike kit and clothing at bonkers-low prices. Think of it like an early Black Friday event then: my plan is to bring you the best stuff I can find, whether that’s through Amazon itself or the cycling retailers who piggyback off the Big Deal Days.
To get you started before the actual event then I’ve found some great spotlight deals on Fox clothing and shoes, Rapha pants and Sealskinz waterproof socks… proper hard-riding gear then, the kind of stuff I burn through all year round.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, October 8-9 2024
Who can get access? The Big Deal Days discounts are for Amazon Prime members only, meaning you have to have subscribed to the Prime service, which is £8.99 a month in the UK or £14.99 in the US.
There is a 30 day free trial period you can get into here though. If you don’t think that you’ll take advantage of Prime’s free delivery or you know that The Boys, Reacher or Jack Ryan aren’t to your liking, then just remember to cancel or it’ll roll over into a paid membership.
If you’re not on Prime though there are still some great deals to be had on mountain bike gear from online retailers. We’re thinking the likes of Chain Reaction Cycles, Jenson USA, Competitive Cyclist, and Tredz.
Best early Big Deals Days offers
37% off Fox Defend Pants! Was £159.99, now £99.99
The Fox Defend Pants are some of the best winter-specific troos I’ve ever ridden in, they’re ones for really dirty days in the saddle and manage to keep you dry longer than most rivals. At £160 they’re pretty spenny for a winter only pant, but below £100 it’s something I’ll treat myself to, and enjoy winter riding all the more for it.
35% off Fox Union Flat Pedal Shoe! Was £130, now £85
Fox Union Flat Pedal shoes are some of the best out there… and definitely the trendiest right now. The Fox Union only launched last year but Fox got it bang on, with oodles of grip on the pedals. In our testing they’ve also proved themselves really quick drying and easy to clean, perfect for the winter then. Go Outdoors has them for a great price, and not just in big or small sizes either. Read the full review.
20% off Sealskinz waterproof socks! Was £40, now £32
Sealskinz Waterproof All Weather Mid Length Socks are a godsend in wet weather. I love them because they fit nicely under my regular riding shoes (no need for expensive waterproof boots then) and keep my feet toasty and dry even through splashy puddles.
29% off Rapha Tecnical Trousers! Was £130, now £92.59
Rapha’s Technical Trousers are all about comfort, simply put they feel nicer to ride in and against your skin than anything else going. The build quality is excellent, the fits great, and it works wide range of conditions. I prefer to ride these in the spring, autumn and winter than the hottest summer days too, so ideal for right now. Read the full review.
15% off Cycplus Electric Bike Pump! Was £79.99, now £67.99
These tiny electric bike pumps are the perfect gadget to stash in the car, or your pack, in case you need to top up your pressure or suffer a flat. No need to carry a track pump in the boot! This one from Cyclpus won the Eurobike trade show award in 2023, and it’s currently 15% off.
15% off Rdruko Breathable Quick Drying Long Sleeve Tops! Was £19.98, now £16.98
Technical jerseys in a plethora of different plain colours that should make the perfect riding jersey at a fraction of the price of branded tops. Never get caught without any clean kit again!

The Hightower is Santa Cruz’s do it all trail bike, it pedals great, descends with confidence and poise and it’s just a great fun bike for pretty much everything I want. This isn’t the most recent version mind, meaning it’s slightly better at pedalling and not quite as good on the descents… but that’s no bad thing for some of us! Read our review of the Santa Cruz Hightower
47% off Fox Tailgate cover! Was $200, now $97.73
The Fox Tailgate cover is for riders who want to shuttle, it comes in two sizes to best fit your truck, is available in black or camo, and there’s even a flap so you can still access the trailgate handle. It’ll take up to five bikes, and the material is rugged and wipe clean to protect your bikes and itself.

The 100% Teratec is a great kneepad for long legged riders, or those who hate the idea of that thigh gap showing. It’s super long, comfy to wear and the softshell kneecap does a great job protecting you in a crash. At just over $30 it’s an absolute steal. Read our review of the 100% Teratec kneepad.
15% off Fox Union Flat mountain bike shoes! Were $149.95, now $127.99
Lightweight, easy to clean, quick drying with great fit and excellent grip – that was our verdict on the Fox Union Flat shoes when we reviewed them last year. They’re only available in ‘mocha’ at this price, so if you like chocolatey coffee take a look.

42% off DJI Osmo Action 3 Outdoor Combo! Was £289, now £169
The DJI Osmo Action has some amazing stats that could well make it a GoPro beater: it shoots 4K footage at 120fps and will film for a claimed 320 minutes with just the two supplied batteries. We’ve used this camera on a DJI drone and the quality is excellent while battery life is as good as claimed. This bundle includes a chesty mount, helmet mount and those two batteries.
65% off High5 Energy Gels! Was £26.99, now £9.32
High5 has been pumping out great quality gels for decades now, you get a huge 23g dump of carbs delivered to your legs with just 91 calories. It’s totally natural too, uses real fruit juice, no artificial sweetners or colours, and personally I find it doesn’t irritate my gut.
16% off Maxxis Assegai Dual Compound tyres! Was £42.99, now £35.99
The Maxxis Assegai was designed as a dry tyre for dusty conditions, but I’ve found it works great in mud and slop too, making it a brilliant all-season option. This isn’t the premium triple-compound with really soft side lugs, but it’ll still be very grippy with 60a shoulder rubber and the Assegai’s great lug bite. Read our review of the Maxxis Assegai.
44% off Muc-Off Punk Powder! Was £26.99, now £14.99
Muc-Off Punk Powder is the brand’s signature Nano Tech cleaner in powder form. Add water to a sache and make 1L of the stuff, meaning get this deal and you’ve got your hands on 4L of soapy suds… just enough to see you through this drizzly summer. Not only is it cheaper to buy Muc-Off this way, it’s better for the environment too as you’re not wasting plastic.
Up to 35% off Fox Transfer dropper post! Was £379, now from £246.59
Fox’s Transder post is one of my favourites because it’s just so reliable. Air loss is kept to a minimum thanks to its brilliant sealing, and you can rebuild the entire thing at home, unlike plenty of dropper. And, come on, the gold looks dope too. The Sigma deal here is for only a few of the smaller diamter sizes, but that’s easily fixed with a shim to make it fit any frame.
57% off VEL floor pump! Was £30, now £12.89
The VEL floor pump costs £12. Twelve pounds. That’s it. It’s not a cool brand, most of us will never have heard of it, but at this price it’s just terrific value. The dial looks enormous, the hose plenty long enough, and you get a smarthead to instantly switch from Presta to Schrader.
16% off M-Part Torque Wrench! Was £59.99, now £49.99
A torque wrench is a vital part of my toolkit, in these days of T-type mechs, carbon bars and dinky little bolts for your cockpit controls it pays not to over-tighten anything on your bike. The M-Part has everything you need, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10 and T25 sockets.
35% off Worx WG620E.4 Hydroshot Cordless Portable Pressure Washer! Was £199.99, now £129.99
We’ve rated the Worx Hydroshot as one of the best mobile pressure washers on the market as it’s powerful, lightweight and easy to use. And with a £70 reduction it currently offers pretty good value too!
Save £150 on a Garmin Fenix 7 smartwatch! Was £499.99, now £349.99
Garmin’s Fenix 7 is one of the best smartwatches for mountain bikers currently available. The version currently with 30% off on Amazon has all the features of Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar we rated highly. The only thing missing is sun-powered battery!
27% off SIS energy gels! Was £51, now £38
Running out of energy mid-ride is no fun, to avoid running out of steam the quickest way to fuel up is via a gel, like the SIS Beta Fuel. Why this one? Bang for buck, there aren’t many gels to touch this one for the sheer quantity of carbs it delivers, with 40g of the stuff per gel. Our sister site Cycling Weekly named SIS its best gel for quick fuelling. Read Cycling Weekly’s review of the SIS Beta here.
30% off Bryton 420 Wireless Computer! Was £99.99, now £69.54
The Bryton 420 is absolutely spot on if you’re looking for a bargain way to log your rides, navigate the trails, or track your fitness. It’s easy to set up, a doddle to use, looks great with a clear screen, and the battery life is impressive too. Read Cycling Weekly’s review of the Bryton 420.
17% off Feedback Sports Team Edition Tool Kit! Was £300, now £249
We scored the Feedback Sports Team Edition Tool Kit 9/10 when we reviewed it so it’s good! It’s highly portable and has a great selection of tools for any trail centre car park tinkering

Are these the only Amazon Prime Day dates?
In the last couple of years Amazon has also had a similar Prime Day event in July. Outside of the Amazon bubble, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are always significant dates for bargain hunters, and this year they will fall on the 29th November and 2nd December respectively. Of course loads of mountain bike retailers have their own sales events, so I also like to keep an eye on those and pull out the best deals for you.
