Discounts, deals and promotions: Mountain bike offers for Black Friday 2022

The best Black Friday offers for mountain bikers

Super protection, good power transfer and secure footing on the pedals - the Fizik Gravita Tensor MTB shoe comes pretty close to the Enduro ideal - as our last comparison test showed. The Gravity MTB shoes are currently available at Bergfreunde for 80 euros instead of 179 euros.

Good trousers are worth almost as much as a suitable saddle on long days in the saddle. Constant zips tingling, too much fabric in the wrong place or annoying rustling... that can really put a damper on a day on the bike. So maybe it's time for a new one! The O'Neal Legacy MTB trousers are currently on offer at Maciag Offroad for 62 euros instead of 129 euros.

It's getting uncomfortable outside. That's why Triple 2 has this jacket, for example: made from high-end material with a merino lining and a robust, water-repellent and windproof nylon outer. And the three pockets on the back can hold everything that bikers need in bad weather. Triple 2 is currently offering a 20 per cent discount on almost all products. For example the Men's - BRIES Pro jacket currently costs 235 euros instead of 299 euros. At the same time, Triple 2 offers all customers a free repair service and a crash replacement programme.

The Yeti SB115 is currently on offer at Alltricks for 5299 euros instead of 5699 euros. It is the trail bike sister of the Yeti SB110. At the front of the SB115, a Fox Performance 34 suspension fork smoothes the terrain with 130 mm, while a Fox Performance Float DPS shock with 115 mm travel assists at the rear. Official equipment for year-round touring. By the way: BIKE users receive a further 10 euros discount on purchases over 100 euros with the code BIKEMAGAZINE10.

* Code valid until 28/11/2022 and valid for items sold and shipped by Alltricks. Excludes used products, gift vouchers and Premium subscriptions.

In winter, it's light late and dark early. Style takes a bit of a back seat - nobody sees it anyway - and function becomes more important. The Proviz Reflect 360 bike gloves are waterproof, breathable and reflect light across the entire upper surface. And they have a soft nose wipe! The Black Friday offer from Proviz: up to 50 % discount on everything! For example the new Proviz Reflect 360 gloves are currently available for 45 euros instead of 60 euros.

And here is the counterpart to the matching trousers: the right saddle for all off-road use and tailored to the requirements of all-mountain and enduro bikes. For good pressure relief, especially on longer climbs, SQlab has designed the saddle nose of the 611 to be around four millimetres wider than the 612, but just as flat and with the largest possible contact surface. With its titanium stays, it weighs just 211 grams. Bergzeit currently offers the SQ-lab 611 Ergowave S-Tube bicycle saddle for 112 euros instead of 139 euros.

The iXS Trigger AM MTB helmet does not light up, has no full glazing or built-in sound system. But it does what bike helmets are supposed to do very well. It provides all-round protection in the event of a fall. With its ErgoFit Ultra adjustment system, the Trigger AM can be adjusted vertically and horizontally. The magnetic fastener makes it easy, even when wearing gloves. And the visor is adjustable. The Trigger AM helmet from iXS is currently available at Wiggle from €71 instead of €129.

If you want your tyres to bite into the forest floor even in wet conditions, the Continental Cross King is the right choice. The Cross Country and All Mountain tyre combines good traction with very good rolling characteristics. The ShieldWall construction offers high protection against punctures and punctures. And it is even suitable for E-MTBs. At Rosebikes, the Cross King ShieldWall is currently available from 15 euros instead of 35 euros.

Ok, the waterproof socks still have to be removed for the days with the notorious bad weather. But the Decathlon MTB XC 500 is light and breathable and therefore great for regular training and cross-country races. The MTB shoes offer good support (heel, arch, cable lacing) and the fibreglass sole provides good stiffness on the clipless pedals. The MTB XC 500 cycling shoes currently cost 59 euros instead of 74 euros at Decathlon.

The Test winner from the last BIKE tool test at a special price: Bergfreunde offers the torque spanner Click-Torque X 1 from Wera currently for 124 euros instead of 226 euros.

The Ghost Lector is almost a classic from the Waldsassen-based bike manufacturer and has real racing genes as Anne Terpstra's competition bike. The Ghost carbon fully (LC stands for Lightweight Carbon) comes with a Rockshox SID Select+ RL R suspension fork and a Rockshox SIDLuxe Select+ RL shock (100 or 120 mm travel from size M). The shifting centre is a Sram X01 Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur and a Sram Level TLM brake provides the necessary deceleration. The Ghost Lector FS SF LC Universal costs just 3999 euros instead of 5499 euros at Fahrrad XXL.

Things can get rough in autumn, even if most bike parks are closed: Nature is always open. To keep your cold bones healthy, Leatt build protectors that we have repeatedly rated in tests, such as the 3DF 6.0 knee pads, which absorb impacts very well and are very comfortable to wear. The 3DF 6.0 knee pads from Leatt are currently on sale at Maciag Offroad for 69 euros instead of 129 euros.

And while we're on the subject of protection from impacts: The Moab Pro 16 II is a mountain bike backpack with a removable back protector tested to CE standard EX 1621. Many compartments keep your bars, pump and cosy blanket organised. The rucksack also has space for a hydration bladder. Many MTB backpacks are currently heavily discounted at Bergzeit. Including the Vaude Moab Pro 16 backpack currently costs 139 euros instead of 199 euros.

A real force on the descent: the Santa Cruz Hightower is a lot of fun to test on the valley floor. The more it rattles, the more the Santa Cruz seems to get going. The Hightower C has a carbon frame, a Fox 36 Float Performance fork with 150 mm travel and a 145 mm Rockshox Super Deluxe Select+ shock. To ensure that there is also stopping power, the Americans have fitted a Sram Code R brake, which has 180 mm discs at the front and rear. And if you're going uphill under your own steam, the Sram GX Eagle 1x12 groupset is very helpful in pedalling the 14.5 kilos up the slope. The Santa Cruz Hightower C is currently 1000 euros cheaper at Alltricks; the fully is available at's for 4999 Euro.

TSG - Technical Safety Gear: Sounds more like Personal Safety Equipment Fire Protection Ordinance, but is stylish on the trail and comes from Switzerland: The Trailz bike shorts from TSG are made for the wet days of the year. They are made from a waterproof fabric with stretch inserts at the back and in the crotch area. The shorts also have a comfortable and functional fit and... a cool front ratchet fastening. Has no other. The TSG MTB shorts Trailz are currently 40 per cent cheaper at Maciag Offroad for 38 euros.

Our test seals say it all: Tunap Chain Oil Ultimate is the king - even on your chain links. Our testers particularly liked the good dosage - not half of the oil ends up on the rim and tyres. What's more, it doesn't wash off immediately even when splashed with water, so it's also a tip for less dry weather. The test winner is available with the voucher code bike10 ten per cent discount until the end of November! The discount code also applies to all other care products and lubricants in the Tunap shop.

The days are getting shorter - and the tours are inevitably shorter too. That's enough for the usual essentials, such as a pump, mobile phone and Porsche keys, a hip bag. With the Camelbak Repack, for example, your back stays dry and shoulder pain is no longer an issue. Equipped with a 1.5-litre hydration bladder, the minimalist pack volume of 2.5 litres remains. And you can easily attach a rear light to the small straps at the front, which is also a good idea in the twilight of autumn. The Repack LR4 Hip Bag from CamelBak currently costs 48 euros instead of 62 euros on Amazon.

The Supercaliber from Trek is a cross-country rocket that CAN'T be ridden slowly. Weighing less than 10.5 kilos and designed for speed in terms of geometry, Trek - as is modern - does without more suspension travel. Instead, there is a firm 100 mm of travel at the front. The rear has just 60 millimetres, but the flexing seat stay adds another 30 millimetres. With its Sram GX equipment throughout, the Supercaliber 9.8 is ideally equipped for the winter chase across the fields. The Trek Supercaliber 9.8 GX currently costs 4999 euros instead of 6099 euros at Fahrrad XXL.

And then there are those days when you really don't want to go outside. Ok, then you can still dream about the next tour and get inspired. BIKE, EMTB and FREERIDE in the Black November Deal: Read now with a trial subscription with a saving of up to 52 per cent, and you'll get a gift on top. Only valid until 30 November - be quick!

Early childhood imprinting: the first holidays in the mountains, pancakes, bike tours. You don't forget that, which is why the first bike is a top priority. It has to be fun and give the little ones their first freedom. That's why there are balance bikes that allow youngsters to balance on two wheels without having to deal with the complexities of two brakes. That's the way to go! The children's 10-inch Runride balance bike has been reduced by 22 per cent at Decathlon and now costs just €34 .

As a 2.5-layer jacket with a wider cut, you can wear the Yaras from Vaude not only when biking, but also as a less rugged all-rounder. With a 10,000 water column, weather protection is top-notch, while ventilation slits keep you cool while pedalling. There are also a few reflective strips to prevent the November rain from obscuring you or swallowing up the fog. As always with Vaude: the Yaras hardshell is sustainably produced. The Yaras jacket from Vaude currently costs 135 euros instead of 169 euros at Bergzeit.

Large goggles are in - and quite useful when the chunks of mud from the front wheel fly into your face with determination and persistence. Oakley's Prizm optics ensure a clear view even in difficult light conditions. In addition to mud, protection level 3 only lets 11% of sunlight through. And at this price, mountain bikers might even overlook the tiny "Tour de France" logo. There are also other models in the Black Friday offer. The Oakley Flight Jacket sports glasses are currently on sale at Fun Vision Sport for 119 euros instead of 240 euros.

The Rockrider XC 500 cross-country bike could be your entry into serious cycling! Or simply your bike for long tours. It combines carbon in the front frame triangle and aluminium in the rear. The Rockrider XC 500 is sensibly equipped with a Manitou Machete suspension fork (120 mm travel), a Manitou Radium Expert rear shock (120 mm), a Sram GX Eagle 12-speed groupset and tubeless wheels. The Rockrider XC 500 is currently available at Decathlon for 1899 euros instead of 2090 euros.

What is more necessary in the mud season than bike cleaner? The all-round supply from Muc-Off is ready, the Brits are packing fine parcels on the island with sponge, brush cleaner and "Bike Protect" - a protection for all materials, on which dirt not only slides off, but also changes its mind and soaks the rider. All products are also suitable for carbon fibre. The Muc-Off cleaning set is currently available at Rose for 20 euros instead of 33 euros.

The Trek Remedy has been around for almost 20 years appeared on the scene - kids, how time flies - and was already a head turner back then. With 26-inch tyres and triple gears, of course, but with 150 mm of travel. The current Trek Remedy 9.8 GX is up to date with 13.4 kilos as a carbon bullet, 160 mm travel at the front and 150 mm at the rear, and the tyres have also grown a little to 27.5 inches. The perfect all-rounder for the trails out there. The Trek Remedy 9.8 GX is currently on offer at Fahrrad XXL for 4999 euros instead of 6399 euros.

The best gravity MTB tyre combination - according to our testers - is Schwalbe's Magic Mary with its sister Big Betty. Puncture protection, grip and cushioning - all at "World Cup level". Available from 26x2.35 inch to huge 29x2.6 inch tyres. At Rosebikes, the Schwalbe Magic Mary Evolution Super Gravity MTB folding tyres are currently available for 41 euros instead of 74 euros.

What is Black Friday?

Every year in November, bargain hunters get their money's worth when Black Friday is just around the corner. On this day, many shops entice shoppers with discounts, giveaways and special offers.

When will the discounts be available in 2022?

Black Friday 2022 is on 25 November 2022, but it is not an institutional day. This means that it is not organised by a specific person, organisation or association. This means that some providers will also offer promotions and discounts outside of the actual date.

• Black Friday: 25 November 2022
• Black Week: 21 November to 28 November 2022
• Cyber Monday: 28 November 2022

The history of the shopping event

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the USA. The third last day in the fourth week of November is a bridge day and therefore invites people to shop for the Christmas season. The run on bargains fascinates many people. In the USA, Black Friday has been around for decades. It has also become a fixture in Germany and most major industrialised nations. The shopping event was first organised on a large scale in Germany in 2013.

Why is Black Friday called that?

Black Friday literally means "Black Friday". There are various attempts to explain the origin of the term.

• The line of people in the shopping centres looks like a huge black mass. It is reminiscent of the chaos after the stock market crash in 1929, when large numbers of people crowded into a small space also tried to get their savings from the bank.
• On Black Friday, shops can go from being in the red to being in the black.
• On Black Friday, sellers have figuratively black hands from counting money.

How long will Black Friday 2022 last?

There is no precisely defined duration for Black Friday 2022 - it depends on the shop in question. For many online shops, Black Friday runs from 00:00 to 24:00.

How much cheaper is it on Black Friday?

This depends on the individual retailer and varies greatly. We have compiled the best deals from the bike industry for you in this article.

What is Black Week?

Black Week is the week surrounding Black Friday. It begins in 2022 on Monday, 21 November 2022 and reaches its peak on Black Friday. But the bargain hunt doesn't end with the end of Black Week.

And then... Cyber Monday?!

Black Week is followed by Cyber Monday. It takes place on 28 November 2022. Here, too, there are plenty of discounts and special offers to be snapped up. While Black Friday and Black Week were initiated by bricks-and-mortar retailers, Cyber Monday was invented by online retailers. It is, if you like, the Internet's answer to traditional shops. However, there is no strict separation between bricks-and-mortar retail and online deals. Many online shops also offer discount campaigns during Black Week.

There are also providers who have promotions and offers up their sleeves for their customers in the run-up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Amazon, for example, is already set to start on 18 November - exactly one week before Black Friday. Amazon Black Friday week will run until 28 November and will not have seven days like a regular week, but eleven.
