BARGAIN GEAR

Looking for cheaper but still high-performing gear? We select our top 20 pieces of wallet-friendly kit to help you enjoy more for less

The pincer movement on bank accounts in the UK and beyond means that it's especially imperative right now to find the best cycling purchases that you can buy...without stretching or breaking any budgets. That's why we've produced this round-up of some of the best bike tech bargains of 2023.

Compiling some of our top products from recent Cycling Plus tests and adding some fresh reviews, we've collated what we think are the 20 best-value clothing and tech products - from track pumps to bike lights through to bib shorts and summer jerseys, road and urban helmets, tyres, bike-packing, indoor cycling tech and more.

The following reviews cover nearly everything you need to ride, with many items costing well under £100, and just three that cost more than that (and that's a pair of wheels and two turbo trainers - we wouldn't recommend going sub-£100 in those categories!).

These products are proof that you don't have to break the bank to enjoy cycling while improving your performance. And remember that once you've got all your kit in place and have set aside the mid-ride cake monies, cycling is one of the cheapest and most mind-and-body-boosting ways to exercise and escape into a world free of fiscal headaches. Happy riding!
