All the best off-road deals from last week.
50% off this POC Octal Helmet
A great price on a comfy and well-vented helmet
POC's Octal has been used on the head of the EF Education First Drapac p/b Cannondale riders this season.
The helmet is great for warm conditions as you get exceptional ventilation.
20% off this Ribble SL Dura-Ace
That makes it very popular with riders that do lots of climbing as the low airflow can cause a very sweaty head and XC MTB riders who climb at slower sppeds.
As the RaceDay name suggests, this was designed as a race-level lid. But at this discounted price, it's a great deal for us normal riders.
The strap design on this helmet is great, allowing you to get the perfect fit really easily.
55% off this Endura FS260-Pro Thermal Jacket
This toasty winter jacket is perfect for the whole winter.
With a fleecy inside and a breathable outer shell, this jacket is perfect for the weekend ride and weekday commute.

Endura's winter kit is some of the best on the market, especially given its sensible pricing.
The breathable windproof fabric is really stretchy, making this feel brilliant to wear for a range of riders.
Reflective print on the arms and rear pockets give you a little extra visibility, making this perfect for a longer commute
The cut is relaxed but this will still be close enough for fast riding thanks to the elasticity of the material.
If you're after one jacket to serve the whole winter, this is it.
Save 30% on this Giro Synthe Mips
An aero racing helmet with the added protection of Mips technology.
With the trend for filled-in aero helmets taking away crucial ventilation, Giro designed the Synthe to cut through the air and cool the head.

Giro have found a way to make a vented helmet more aerodynamic and we think that this lid looks great.
You still get cooling airflow over the head while the rear vent allows that hot air to escape, leaving you with a cool head.
41% off KMC X11-EL Chains
Noisy or sloppy shifting? Your chain could be the problem.
KMC chains are brilliant. They're lighter than Shimano's offerings and we've found that they last a little longer too.

Being users of 11speed drivetrains, we've been using the X11-EL chain.
The EL weighs in at only 247g, only 4g heavier than a Dura Ace 9000 chain and over £10 cheaper.
There is also a lighter option in the X11-SL DLC chain, but this is way more expensive at £83.99.
33% off these Shimano S-Phyre RC900 Shoes
The SL DLC does get a unique stretch-proof treatment that is supposed to increase the lifespan of the chain but we find the lifespan of the EL is fine for road use.
34% off this CycleOps Magnus Smart Turbo Trainer
We have found that this feature works best for harsh conditions such as in CX racing.

27% off SIS Go Energy Mini Bars (30x40g)
Staying on top of nutrition is vital when you're burning more calories on a cold ride.
SIS Go Energy mini bars are pretty tasty, easy to eat and they'll top you up before you get to the cafe!

While we're not doing any big events during the winter, any longer ride in this weather will see your body burning a few more calories than in the summer.
That's because the body is also working to stay warm and lug a heavier winter bike around. In fact, the last thing we want to do when it's raining and blowing an icy gale is to bonk with a headwind all the way home.
These SIS bars pack 25g or carbs into each bar so they're perfect for popping in your jacket pocket or your ride rucksack.
