Some of the items below also have an extra 10% off automatically applied at the checkout!
36% off Kask Infinity Aero Road Helmet - £109
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
One of the original aero road helmets, this clever design allowed you to pick between a fully closed design and ventilation.
The central section of the outer shell can be slid back to reveal two large vents, a design feature that made this great for racing and riding in varied terrain and weather.
You get the same great fit and comfortable closure system that Kask is famous for. It’s a great helmet for fast riding.
37% off Met Rivale Road Helmet - £76
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
Met’s Rivale helmet is a vented design that has been touched with the aero brush. At 50kph the helmet saves you 3 watts.
While we won’t be able to feel that, it’s nice to know that such a well-vented design isn’t slowing us down.
There is a massive range of colours available, so you get to match your club/team kit or your favourite jersey.
30% off Kask Valegro Road Helmet - £118.30
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
This lightweight road helmet weighs in at just 180g for the size small, meaning that this will feel feathery light on the head.
The Valegro was designed in conjunction with the Team Ineos pros and their demands for increased ventilation were the cause for the 36 air vents.
The fit is very comfortable and you also get a free helmet bag to protect it when you’re on your way to an event or race.
35% off Met Trenta 3K Road Helmet - £172
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
The Trenta 3K is Met’s high-end aero race helmet with ventilation that has been engineered to maintain aero performance.
The 3K carbon cage system is embedded into the liner and allows Met to reduce the density of the EPS foam by 20% without compromising its energy-absorbing ability.
At 215g for the size medium, this is a lightweight lid with a great fit.
60% off Argon18 Krypton XRoad Disc Frameset - £599
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
If you’re looking to build up a versatile allroad bike then the Krypton X-Road Disc frameset is a great place to start.
This carbon frameset is based on the very popular Krypton and the XRoad version features space for 32mm tyres while keeping the sporty geometry and adaptable front end.
Internal cable routing keeps the frame looking clean and the disc brakes are a great choice for more control in inclement weather.
44% off Deda SuperZero Aero Alloy Road Handlebar - £49.99
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
Aero handlebars don’t have to be made from carbon and Deda makes an excellent bar for budget racers.
The SuperZero Aero Alloy provides a short and shallow drop with a reach of 75mm and a drop of 130mm. These come in a respectable weight of 305g for the 42cm size.
28% off Deda SuperZero Carbon Aero Road Handlebar - £143.95
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
You can also get this excellent handlebar in the carbon version and this brings the weight down to just 215g for the 42cm size.
The carbon version of this bar is not just lighter, it’s more comfortable too thanks to the better vibration damping.
Deda measures their bars from outside to outside, so you might find that the bar comes up narrower than you were thinking.
47% off Deda SuperZero Road Stem - £39.95
Commerce content is independent of editorial, and Farrelly Atkinson earns commission from promoted products
One of the simplest ways that you can change the fit and feel of your bike is by changing the stem length.
If you’re looking to get more aero, then a longer stem with a more aggressive angle is what you’ll need. Many riders, though, are looking to bring their bars closer and higher for a more comfortable position that allows you to put down the power with less stress on the lower back.
