BikeRadar Bargains: 5 of the hottest 2017 bike deals
Get 'em before they're gone!
2018 bikes are here and we’re terribly excited about them, but plenty of 2017 bikes are still available. So now’s the time to grab a bargain as the last stock gets cleared out.
- Top 5 2018 road bike trends
- This is why it’s time to stop buying cheap carbon bikes
- Top 5 trail and enduro bikes of 2018
In some cases 2017 models differ only in their paintjob, or have slightly different specs to the current model. Elsewhere they might be the last of a model that’s getting replaced for 2018, but either way there are huge savings to be had.
For more great 2017 bike deals, check out Evans Cycles, Wiggle, Ribble Cycles and Tweeks Cycles.
2017 Giant Anthem 1 — was £3,448.99, now £2,069.39
2017 Vitus Bikes Zenium SL Disc Superlight 105 — was £1,249.99, now £939.99
Add to that a decent set of wheels and Shimano’s ever-dependable 105, and you’ve got a recipe for a downright pleasant cycling experience.
Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon 27.5 — was £4,450, now £2,988
The Expert build gets you a 150mm Pike RC up front, plus SRAM X1 gearing and Spesh’s own dropper.
2017 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 Disc — was £2,200, now £1,350
The 2018 Synapse is an all-new bike, but the previous version is still an all-time great in the world of endurance bikes. If you can see past those lumpy (but very effective) RS505 brake levers, the 2017 Synapse Carbon 105 Disc is a whole lot of bike for the money, ready to put in some big miles in sublime comfort. You’ll have to be quick though — only size 54 remains!
2017 Trek Madone 9.9 H2 — was £9,000, now £5,500
The modern Trek Madone is a frankly absurd machine, taking integrated aero-everything to new heights.
It comes with an absolutely eye-watering price tag at the upper end of the range, but with £3,500 knocked off this 2017 model, it doesn’t seem quite as unattainable.
This spec really is no-holds-barred, with Shimano’s top-end Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and Bontrager carbon clinchers.
