Deals for the Dirt - It's the Off-Road Roundup!
This week, we've got further Intense price cuts, shoes and loads more.
Intense Cycles Mega Price Cut
Big savings from a brilliant brand.
With the news that the iconic American mountain bike brand Intense Cycles were going 'rider-direct' with their sales, their bike prices were slashed across the web.
That's music to our ears so we've been busy collecting all the amazing deals in one place. Below you'll find the fruits of our labour, with bikes discounted by up to 40%.
There are loads more bikes in Merlin's sale so check them out here!
Intense Spider 275C Expert 27.5 - £2,750
This short travel 27.5 MTB is perfect for fast trail riding.
Like the Recluse above, this features a RockShox Pike RC fork, but this time with less travel at 140mm. The full carbon frame has internal routing for all the cabling, making this a super clean-looking frame.
The Spider differs in the fact that it's got a 1x11 Shimano XT groupset, an awesome choice for reliability at a low weight.
Intense Tracer 275C Pro - £3,450
It'd be hard to start with a better frame for high-end enduro riding and racing than this Tracer 27.5. It features a full carbon monocoque front end with Boost 148 x12 mm spacing and 165mm travel.
This Pro build gets a RockShox Pike RCT3, Rock Shox Monarch RC3 Debonair and DT Swiss M 1900 Spline 275 BOOST wheels.
Intense ACV Foundation Build 27.5+ - £2,599
This ACV Foundation is an incredible deal at 38% off.
The frame is again made of lightweight carbon fibre with more RockShox suspension front and rear. The wider tyres are a massive Plus point. At 2.8" wide, they provide amazing traction over difficult terrain.

35% off Northwave Rebel MTB Shoes
The Rebel shoes are a great option for wider feet.
These shoes give a really comfy option for trail riding. They're really well ventilated too!
A comfy pair of shoes can make the difference between an enjoyable ride and a forgettable one.
Riders with big feet will know that Northwave is one of the best brands for them.
41% off Shimano Ultegra R8000 Rear Derailleur
There's no tiny Italian sizing here. You get a big toe box that really helps when the ride goes over an hour.
The carbon sole provides heaps of stiffness to prevent hotspots under the foot.
The shoes also benefit from Northwave's own dial retention system. This provides incremental tension adjustment and a wide distribution of pressure.
30% off Topeak Joe Blow Tubeless Floor Pump
Need a pump for doing tubeless tyres? This will do the trick.
Leaking air and furious pumping is a common problem with installing tubeless tyres.
Topeak have been making really excellent pumps for years now.
Their Joe Blow range has been steadily expanding and this, their tubeless pump is a great edition.
It's the one that we'd go for and we do, occasionally, use a tubeless set up for CX training.
The pump functions just like any other, with easy inflation and an accurate gauge.
The addition of the tubeless tank opens this up to tubeless installation. The tank is charged to 160psi and then released, helping to seat difficult tyres.
20% off Gore C7 ShakeDry Stretch Jacket
Gore's latest jacket is already going cheap.
The jacket is totally waterproof with amazing breathability. It's also now got Stretch panels for added flexibility.
The first Gore ShakeDry jacket was pretty revolutionary. Gore simply took the membrane of their rain jacket and made it into a material that could be used on its own.
That gave us a super lightweight jacket with amazing breathability.
20% off Specialized Tarmac Bikes
This latest edition was only launched in the spring so we're surprised and delighted to see the price already dropping.
Liam has been testing this jacket for road.cc and he has been really impressed at just how hard you can ride in this jersey without the usual 'boil in the bag' effect.
The jacket fits very well and it's construction justifies the slightly hefty price.
Specialized S-Works 6 Road Shoes down 33%
Huge 36% off Kask Mojito Helmets
This helmet is massively popular for its great fit and ventilation.
We've had a couple of these helmets. They provide an excellent fit and loads of colours for matching to team kit.
Developed as a road helmet, we think that it works really well for gravel, CX and XC too.
ChainReaction Spend & Save - Vitus Vitesse Ultegra 2018
Since then, the helmet has been tweaked to add an ECO leather chin strap and updated graphics.
What hasn't changed is the excellent fit that the helmet gives.

That fit means no mushroom look as the sides sit very close to the sides of the head.
The retention system is also brilliant and we've found a load of head shapes that fit the helmet.
43% off Scicon AeroTech Evo X Bike Box
The antibacterial padding stops the helmet from getting all stinky.
