Amazon Prime Day 2024 Live - The biggest deals as we find them

We're busy trawling the sales to find the best deals for cyclists, and we'll put them here when we do

Welcome to the Cyclingnews live coverage of the Amazon Prime Day sales. We're well into the second (and final) day of the event, and while some deals have sold out, there are plenty still available. 

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen):$249.00$168.99 at Amazon32% off 

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen): $249.00 $168.99 at Amazon
32% off - The top-tier model in Apple's in-ear range, the AirPods Pro 2 offer impressive Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes, interchangeable tips for comfort, clever controls for playing, pausing, and changing modes. This is the cheapest we've ever seen these in the USA, so if you've been on the fence about buying them, now is the time. 

Camelbak Podium bottle 21oz$12.00$8.40 at Amazon
30% off -

Camelbak Podium bottle 21oz: $12.00 $8.40 at Amazon
30% off -
The Podium water bottle is the standard version of the above. If you don't need the insulation and want to keep the price down even more, then it's a great option. It boasts the same twist-lock leakproof top, the BPA-free construction, as well as the ability to disassemble for cleaning. This one is the 21oz version, but the 24oz is also on offer. 

Elite Direto XR-T$699.99$399.00 at Amazon36% off -

Elite Direto XR-T: $699.99 $399.00 at Amazon
36% off - It might be the height of summer, but sometimes nothing beats the quality of an indoor trainer session or race on Zwift. The Elite Direto currently has 36% off, not a bad buy at under $450, making it cheaper than the usual best-budget option; the Wahoo Kickr Core

Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer:£449.99£374.00 at Amazon17% off 

Wahoo Kickr Core smart trainer: £449.99 £374.00 at Amazon
17% off - The Kickr Core smart trainer has been around since 2018, but despite the absolute explosion of indoor cycling that came about thanks to the pandemic, it remains one of the best on the market. It has had to shift its pricepoint to become one of the best value models, but with 1800 watts of resistance, 2% accuracy and an extremely simple user interface, it is more than enough for most users. 

Blink Outdoor security cameras: £154.99£53.99 at Amazon
Save 65% -

Blink Outdoor security cameras: £154.99 £53.99 at Amazon
Save 65% -
Not a cycling deal, per se, but if you own bikes and keep them in a shed, garage or even in your home, these Blink cameras are a great way to add peace of mind that any would-be thieves will be deterred, or at least caught in the act. 

Apple AirPods (3rd gen):£169.00£129.00 at Amazon24% off 

Apple AirPods (3rd gen): £169.00 £129.00 at Amazon
24% off - The first of a handful of AirPods deals this Prime Day for our UK readers, the 3rd Gen is the newest on the market, though they fall slightly below the AirPods Pro 2 model (scroll down a bit for those) when it comes to the functionality (noise cancelling, for example) and the interchangeable tips. 

Of course, with all of these headphone deals, we're not recommending that anyone rides their bike on the road with both headphones in, music blaring; even if we do see it done all too regularly. I save the headphones for my indoor rides so I can watch the Tour de France while training, or I listen to music (which is proven to reduce perceived exertion) during the really hard bits. My current go-to is all the emo music from my teenage years (thanks for asking). 

This model comes with the Lightning charging case, but you can pay a smidge more for the MagSafe case. 

Cateye Viz Rear Light: £39.99 £22.99 at Amazon
43% off -

Cateye Viz Rear Light: £39.99 £22.99 at Amazon
43% off -
The Cateye Viz is a neat little light that will do a solid job for you. For the price at 43% off right now it ticks a lot of boxes. There's USB charging, a strong 300-lumen output and a handy rubber mount strap that allows for a wide range of seatpost fits.

Surprise flash sales at Competitive Cyclist and Jenson

Non-Amazon bargains to be had!

Lowest ever price on the Wahoo Kickr Core, and why we wouldn't necessarily buy it...

Save 17% - With an accuracy of +/- 2% the Kickr Core is about as much smart trainer as most of us would ever need. It can easily get you going on Zwift to keep you fit through the winter, and you'd only really need greater accuracy if you are seriously racing.
