 | Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen with USB-C) - $100 off | $153 | Amazon | | ⚡ Both myself and my wife have been using these since last fall, after years of using the Beats Studio Buds...man, these things rock.

 | Apple Airpods (2nd Gen) - 31% off!
$159 | $89 | Amazon | | These aren't the latest anymore, that's the newer 4th gen units. But if budget is in mind, it's hard to beat these. It's still what my wife uses as her daily driver, including tons of time on the indoor trainer/bike. |

$249/$299 (cellular) | $149 | Amazon | | ⚡⚡This matches again the lowest price we've ever seen the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) - a very solid deal, especially with the new WatchOS 11 features around Training Load, Vitals, offline mapping, and more. |

$399/$499 (cellular) | $329 | Amazon | | |
 | Apple Watch Ultra 2 - $180 off!!! | $619 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is by far the lowest price we've seen an Apple Watch Ultra 2, to date.

 | Fitbit Charge 6 - 38% off!

They/we all like it. Check out my full in-depth review for all my thoughts. The $20 off is about the only sale you'll see. |
 | Garmin Enduro 3: ~$50 off!
$899 | $851 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've seen this on sale, and I suspect this is a transient Amazon sale. The Enduro 3 is basically the 'cheaper' Garmin Fenix 8 with a MIP display (but without the scuba or voice calling features). |
 | Garmin Epix Pro Series - 20% off!
$899/$999 | $649 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Epix Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back (Epix as a brand was merged into the Fenix 8 branding). Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |
 | Garmin Fenix 7 Pro - 31% off (All Variants)
$799+ | $549+ | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date for the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro series, likely due to the Fenix 8 coming out a few months back. Still, if you don't care about diving or voice bits, this is an incredible deal. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 (Base) - $100 off!
$249/$299 | $199 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is the lowest price to date, and argueably one of the best deals this Black Friday in terms of runners watches and bang for the buck. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 165 Music - $50 off! | $249 | Amazon | | This is the first time we've head a meaningful sale on the Forerunner 165, released earlier this year, down to $249 for the Music edition, and $199 for the non-music edition. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 255/255S - $100 off | $249 | Amazon | | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. |

$349/$399 | $299 | Amazon | | This is Garmin's mid-tier running watch, and is a very polished option with good multi-band GPS, and of course, a boatload of running metrics. This model also includes offline music such as Spotify and Amazon Music. |

 | Garmin Forerunner 55 - $50 off
$199 | $149 | Amazon | | This is a good little running watch, though, it also supports plenty of other sport types as well. This is the lowest sale price to date. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 955 - $100ish off! | $399 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is one of Garmin's most popular running watches, and it's down to a very strong price. I often use this in my accuracy testing comparisons when validating other watches, due to it's very strong GPS performance. Note this is the base edition without solar. It'd be hard to find any better deal in sports watches today, from any company (given this has full mapping, tons of new features even this week, etc...). I say '$100ish', because it's usually been on forever sale at $499, so $399 is a strong price, though, it dipped to $319 for Amazon Prime Day. |
 | Garmin Forerunner 965 - $100 off! | $499 | Amazon | REI | ⚡ This is the lowest price we've seen ever on the Forerunner 965, since it's launch. It's still Garmin's top-end Forerunner watch, and I expect it to stay that way for a while. It's one I often use in comparative testing as a reference device. |
 | Garmin HRM-FIT - $15 off
$149 | | Amazon | | Look, this isn't much of a discount, but it's the first discount we've seen to date...so...better than nothing. |
 | Garmin HRM-PRO Plus - 20% off
$129 | $103 | Amazon | | A solid little deal for this strap, if you're in the Garmin ecosystem and want a dedicated chest strap. This strap is one of the two straps I use constantly for other HR sensor accuracy comparisons (alongside Polar H10) |
 | Garmin Instinct 2 Series - $100 Off | $199 | Amazon | | ⚡The Instinct 2 base is from $199, a very solid deal - especially with all the major software updates it's had over the few years since release. The Solar editions are also on sale. |

 | Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off! | $349 | Amazon | REI | This is a solid deal. Garmin Instinct 2X - $100 off!It's best thought of as an Instinct 2.5, as it has almost enough features to really be more of an Instinct 3 (which doesn't exist at this point). |
 | Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar - $100 off! | $399 | Amazon | | |
 | Garmin Tactix 7 Pro - 20% off | $1,049 | Amazon | | This is the largest discount we've seen to date on the Tactix 7 Pro unit. Note the other Tactix 7 Pro units/variants are also on sale for 20% off too (this link takes you to all of them). |
 | Garmin Venu 3 - $100 off!
$449 | $349 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. |
 | Garmin Venu 3S - $100 off | $349 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Garmin Venu 3, which is Garmin's answer to the Apple/Samsung/Google watches. The Venu 3S is simply the smaller edition. |
 | Garmin Vivoactive 5 - $110 off!
$299 | $189 | Amazon | | This is a great deal for Garmin's little-sibling to the Venu series. It has almost all the same features as the Venu 3, except the voice calling related bits. |
 | Oura Ring Gen 3 - $50 off | $249 | Amazon | | While Oura just released their Gen 4 ring (which I'm currently testing), I'll be frank, there's virutally no real-world difference to Gen 3. About the only notable thing is the battery life difference (which is legit 7 days now, versus real-world 4-5 on Gen3). Otherwise, same-same. |
 | Polar Verity Sense - 15% off
$99 | $84 | Amazon | | I use this as one of my reference devices for heart rate accuracy testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Ring - $50 Amazon Gift Card Included | $399 | Amazon | | Not a straight discount, but Amazon gift card is basically cash for most of us. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (40 & 44mm) - $100 off! | $202 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is a very solid deal for one of Samsung's best watches to date, and also just released this summer. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra - $215 off! | $434 | Amazon | | ⚡ This is by *FAR* the lowest price we've seen on this brand new watch. This scored very well in my accuracy tests, as well as battery testing. |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 - Just a crapton off | $120 | Amazon | | |
 | Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic - $200 off | $199 | Amazon | | I'd probably go with the Samsung Watch 7, unless you *really* want the physical bezel (which admittedly, is a heck of a lot better than the touch bezel on the Watch 7). Either way, this is a very solid price. |
 | Scosche RHYTHM+ 2.0 ANT+ & Bluetooth HR Monitor
$79 | $39 | Amazon | | This isn't the newest chicken on the block, but for $39?!?! That's a solid deal for something that's actually pretty darn accurate. Really accurate. |
 | Suunto Race - $50 off! | $399 | Amazon | | This is the lowest price we've seen on the Suunto Race. That said, keep in mind the Suunto Race S is $349, has the same software and a *MUCH* better optical HR sensor. Though, is a bit smaller and slightly less battery life. Still, great watches. |
 | Suunto Race Titanium - $50 off! | $499 | Amazon | | |
 | Suunto Vertical (Solar edition) - $150 off | $549 | Amazon | | This unit continues to get all the most current updates, and is Suunto's MIP-enabled device with dual-frequency GPS and mapping. |
 | Whoop 4.0 with 1-year subscription - 17% off | $199 | Amazon | | This brings down the 1-year price to $17/month, which is the lowest it's been (only way to get that is normally a 24-month membership). |
Does this mean that the Edge 1030 is soon being replaced?
All the people that know for certain are likely prohibited from making a definitive statement about new product release dates.
There have been rumors for several weeks about an “Edge 1030 Plus” model based on product id values found in supporting software like Garmin Connect. Whether that means Garmin will ultimately sell a product called that and when is a matter of speculation. Current circumstances worldwide may delay things.
What isn’t a matter of speculation is that the current Edge 1030 is a very capable unit with an apparently low defect rate. If I did’t already have a primary & backup I would buy another at the sale price.
Maybe re-read Ray’s E1030 review and the subsequent comments and if it sounded like a winner at the old price, then it should sound more attractive at the sale price.
Yes, it will be soon. Here is published FCC request link to fccid.io and normally Garmin is releasing their products within one month from submission…
Or not. 😁
A little off topic, but I was looking for deals on the 4iiii website and saw something peculiar. There seemed to be plenty of stock of the older Precision Pro, but every iteration of the newer Podiiiium was listed as “Sold Out.” Do you know if there’s a supply issue, a technical issue that’s caused them to temporarily withdraw the model, a new model coming, or something else?
I’m also very curious about this.
I actually had bought a Podiiiium on sale in December but due to Covid-induced supply chain issues, the bike that I bought that for didn’t actually arrive until last week. Now that I contacted them again to get the crank to them and have the Podiiiium installed, they wrote this: “Unfortunately, due to a shortage of raw materials from one of our major suppliers, we are unable to proceed with Podiiiium installations at this time. We do not expect to have the shortage issue resolved in the immediate future.”
They did offer to change the Podiiiium order to a Precision order, which is fine – I have had the Precision on other bikes for years and it works perfectly – but yeah, Podiiiium is currently off the table for the foreseeable future.
Halfords has the Drivo 2 on sale at the moment in UK for £699 which also seems pretty solid.
Is $179 really a good deal for the Ignite?
It’s $50 less than it usually is, so I think so.
I always thought it should be priced $199 in the US (actually, so did Polar initially, then changed their mind). $179 is very strong for what it is.
Hi Ray- Since Garmin has officially dropped the price on the Edge 1030, I can only assume that the next gen top-tier edge is soon to be released? If you were a betting man, what is the 50/50 on when Garmin will release the next Edge unit? I’m in the market to replace an older edge (820) and was going to go 1030, but don’t want to regret it when all the cool kids have the new Garmin.
Clevertraining deals are not eligible for international shipping :(
Any deals you know of for a Neo 1/2/2T or Kickr Core shipping to Belgium?
Did not find anything on the web and the Wahoo refurbished ones are already gone.
Thanks
March 19, currently ALL Kurt Kinetic trainers are 30% off (for a limited time)
Hi Ray,
Between the Cyclops hammer and the Elite Diercto X which would be the better buy. They both look to have great specs and are fairly similar and only $100 apart on price. Do you know which would have the better customer support if something pops up with the unit? Thanks and love the info I get from your site.
That’s a tough one. The original CycleOps Hammer is louder than the Direto X, but the road feel is much better and more accurate for ERG mode.
Said differently – if putting it in a garage where nobody can hear you, I’d go Hammer. But if you’re in a space where noise is a consideration, I’d go Direto X.
Thanks Ray. The noise difference for me isn’t big I am currently on a dumb trainer so anything would probably be an improvement.
Also – not to complicate your life, but as of this morning REI deals just lit up with 20% off all trainers. Inventory-wise, these don’t tend to last more than a few days. I’ve just finished loading (in the last few seconds), all of the deals up into the tables above. Good luck!
Varia deal appears to be gone from Amazon as of 19 March.
They ran out of inventory. It sounds like you should see re-stocking on Amazon in the next few days.
Hi Ray,
No deal in Europe for the Home Trainer ? BTW, the Wahoo deals are all out of stock now ;) Even the not refurbished one! Crazy …
All the best ;)
Hi, the MARCH20 code for clever training does not seem to be working. Is there another? Thanks.
It may only work if you have just one item in the cart. It worked for me on the Taxc.
I’m trying to order the Elite Suito from clever training. I am a VIP member. When I follow the link from dcrainmaker, I get 10% off, and when enter MARCH20 for a coupon code, I get a message saying that it’s not valid for that item. Am I doing something wrong, or is this code no longer valid? Thanks.
Hey Ray, Saris H3 at £595 on SportPursuit definitely worthy of a mention.
Cheers
Some offers for Europe please……………….
Awesome
no discounts on Wahoo trainers when click on links…
Hi Dave – You’ll need to add the coupon code to your cart, and then ensure that you’re a member of either the REI or CT VIP programs. I added those links at the top just now to this page to make it quick and easy.
Here’s the CT link: link to clevertraining.com
CT seems to have restricted the coupon actually (seems no Wahoo products are eligible anymore)
The coupon still works on Wahoo devices, as long as you’re a VIP member (just $5, see at top – all of which goes to a girls running charity). The Wahoo portion will end Monday!
As of now (last day of the sale), Wahoo Kickr Snap is not accepting my the March20. Can you check? Thanks
Do you have to be a VIP member of clevertraining for the MARCH20 code to work on the Kickr Core? It says “This product is ineligible for coupons” on the product page.
Yes, VIP for either REI or CT. In the case of CT, it’s $5 for the VIP membership (one-time fee) – and the fee goes to the Girls On The Run charity. Here’s that link, quick and easy: link to clevertraining.com
Thanks for the support!
Thanks Ray. Ordered. :)
Just a note you might want to add to your list is that the Kinetic trainers are on sale as well but not sure for how much longer – link to kurtkinetic.com
Thanks, I had it in there actually, looks like I set the expiration date a bit early. Fixing…
2h, 67km – 6 times 8 mins 105% VO2max
Thanks for the info.
Just thought I’d mention that the above deal for the Elite Suito from Clever Training @ $639 seems only to apply if you are a VIP customer, which then costs another $20 odd dollars to join.
Hi R-
Indeed, per the top of the post, all of the 20% sales require VIP or REI membreship. That’s due to manufacturer restrictions that don’t allow non-club discounting.
The good news though is that DCR Readers get the VIP membership for a mere $5 here: link to clevertraining.com
Plus, all of that goes to Girls On The Run, an awesome running-focused organization!
I thought the Elite Suito was part of the 20% discount, but I don’t see it.
Sorry, had the expiration date wrong in my database, fixed it – all good though, still on sale!
“MARCH20” coupon doesn’t appear to work for the Wahoo Kickr Core this morning over at Clever. :(
Hi Nick-
Did you remember to sign-in first as a VIP member? That’s required by Clever Training (as required in turn by Wahoo). I’ve added links up above, or here: link to clevertraining.com
DCR Readers get the VIP membership for a mere $5 here. Plus, all of that goes to Girls On The Run, an awesome running-focused organization!
I signed up earlier this morning using your link. :)
Was able to get the discount for Tacx Flux S, but after reading too many reviews about the noise issues that seem to continue to haunt the product I decided to look at WKC and no luck with discount.
Odd, you’re right, it’s currently broke on that item. Hang tight, talking with them now to see what’s broken. Fear not, it’ll be fixed shortly. Sorry!
Ray –
The “MARCH20” discount code is not working for Wahoo Kickr on Clevertraining as of this morning. I have tried logging out of my VIP account a few times, emptied cart etc…and it still will not work. Has the 20% coupon already expired?
Thanks.
Ok, the KICKR discount code issue should have been fixed yesterday evening – if folks are having an issue, definitely let me know, but looks good with a quick test I did. Thanks for the support!
All Polar Vantage watches (including Titan) are 25% off direct from Polar.
Just received an email from Polar re: 25% off on Vantage M, V, and V Titan.
I don’t know guys, but with these list prices, some at $600, these devices are over the top. I’d see more value in a blue tooth device communicating with an app on your mobile phone. It wasn’t too long ago that you could buy a decent road bike for $600. And you can buy mobile phones for less $300 that have GPS functionality.
This kind of pricing is as bad as the GPS map chip I had to buy for my last car that cost me $700. Plus, I already paid several thousand dollars more more for an upgraded car model that had the Chinese ‘iPad’ knockoff sitting on the dashboard to display the maps. And, i could get the GPS functionality for less than $100 albeit with a tiny screen.
Technology should be bringing these prices down not up.
“Technology should be bringing these prices down not up.”
But it is?
GPS watches are now $100 or less from various brands. And while you could have bought an entry level road bike for $600 a decade or two ago, you also could have bought a higher end road bike for thousands. No different than any other product category.
So I ordered something off Clever Training two weeks ago. They charged me and besides the order confirmation they have not responded to multiple emails and aren’t answering their phone. Is this once good company really this terrible now?
Hmm, I know there are some minor delays due to COVID-19 and office related closures, however it’s at worse only a day or two in some cases. I’ll follow-up. Sorry about that!
Thanks Ray. I’ve had great experiences with them in the past and totally understand a couple day delay (or even more if there is a specific reason), but they’ve gone radio silence and aren’t responding.
Sucks, I was looking to buy a trainer from them, but can’t justify spending more with them now.
Hey There – The same thing happened to me with Clever Training. I purchased from them as a first time buyer solely because of your recommendation. I purchased approx 2.5 weeks ago, they have my money and zero shipment. I’ve sent a few emails and called, no response. I totally understand there is a pandemic, however, the silence and lack of shipping and credit card charge is bad business.
Ditto. Ordered the Kickr Snap from CleverTraining in March. It’s now mid May. I’ve had to send multiple emails before I get a single reply. Which basically just said I could cancel the order if I wanted.
If they’d just keep me informed it’d be fine. Something along the lines of “Sorry for the delay, we’re still awaiting our next shipment from the manufacturer. We hope to be able to fulfill your order by XX date. We’ll send another update in 2 weeks.” Instead, I have to debate canceling after almost 2 months in the order queue and possibly miss out when stock finally becomes available again. Not a good customer experience.
Update. Clever Training finally delivered the item from this first post (speedplays Aero’s). After they became responsive around that, I figured they were back to being the good company we all used to know. So I went ahead and ordered A kickr Core I’ve had my eye on for a while now. 5 emails, 2 months later and no update, no response
Now I understand Wahoo is backordered and everyone wants a smart trainer… But they could easily remedy this with a bulk email every couple weeks. I’m very disappointed with CT and how they continue to charge people for nothing… I product. No shipment. No customer service.
Trisports.com has factory refurbished Vector 3 (dual sided) at $550. I got a pair from them a few months ago the last time they had this price and they are currently working fine.
This is the lowest price I have seen these pedals on trisports.com over the past few months.
You can get factory refurbished Garmin Vector 3 (dual sided) at link to trisports.com (trisports.com) for $550 today.
This matches the best price I have seen from them since I bought a pair at this price a couple of months ago. I got them and they are working perfectly. Seems like a good deal.

Found a nice deal:
Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire @ 350CAD (+/- 250 USD)
link to mec.ca
Tacx Flux 2 Smart Trainer – Normally $349? The link points to the new Tacx Flow review, so I am sure you meant Tacx Flow Smart Trainer.
Indeed, tried to do two things at once a few hours ago, and clearly can’t type two f-words correctly. :)
That said, the Flux 2 is also 20% off, but I didn’t include it because it’s out of stock. That said, here’s the link: link to clevertraining.com
I got a Tacx Flux S back ordered from REI before they completely removed it. Got the tracking number on Saturday. So ff UPS is on time, I should have it set up beside my comutrainer for a Wednesday indoor training ride with my wife. :-)
Thanks for keeping track of all these deals!
Would be nice if the Clever Training discount codes, after registering as VIP, would actually work as of 3 pm Pacific on April 6th ……
Same here
Hi Jefeprimo & Loubriel-
There as a bit of a date confusion thing. One department at CT had said ‘thru Apr 6th’, while another had internally marked it as ‘to April 6th’. Which, ended up spitting the difference about half-way through the day before everything turned off.
This broke it for the Wahoo & Tacx products specifically, the other products continue to work under a new SPRING20 code. That said, I chatted with CT and they want to make it up to you two. I’ll follow-up off-line and they’ll get you all sorted out with your original ordering plans.
Super apologies here. Like most companies these days, they’re heavily impacted by COVID-19, and some things aren’t quite as well oiled as they usually are. That said, the warehouse side is pumping out hardware at unreal rates, so there’s that bit of silver lining.
Apologies again!
Understood!
Great, Thanks!!!
Hi Ray, thanks much.
I decided to take a different route (guess my Buy trigger finger was very much too quick). Long winded, I know – on the 6th, I purchased a Tacx Flux S on Biketiresdirect.com as the deal was a screamer at $636 (when the 20% VIP was no longer accepted at CT). Yesterday morning I woke up and noticed the Spring20 discount and shifted over (including the return) and purchased a Tacx Flux 2 including the 20% off at CT prior to reading your review of the 2 (my mistake although the power accuracy issue may be resolved based upon the last comments under your review ?). Thinking of your review and realized I could “upgrade” to an Elite Drivo II at CT without a price difference. I have a note into CT last night asking about changing my order.
For my capabilities, I am sure the Flux 2 or Drivo will be incredible.
Probably fine unless I am making another mistake …..
Thanks so much, great webpage and support as always.
Jeff
RE: Flux 2
Tacx believes that with the latest firmware the issue is solved. They believe that so much so that they’ve sent me a unit. Was supposed to show up today, but looks like it’ll be tomorrow morning.
Given the engineers working on it know my concern rather deeply on this issue – and given it’s taken them over a year along with new hardware bits (technically this is the Tacx Flux 2.1), my guess is that they probably have solved it.
Hope to know before the weekend for sure!
Hey Ray,
I tried (after the fact) to purchase the Wahoo KICKR Core from REI and they said it was not eligible for the 20% discount. I often have good luck getting the discount if I somehow missed the deadline just by calling them and asking nicely. The very nice customer service person mentioned the MEMPERKS2020 code. Since it looks like this post has been edited to remove the deals that are no longer running… could someone tell me if the “MEMPERKS2020” code was the one you posted? It could be that I just don’t have the right code.
Hi Dave-
Indeed, that was the REI code, good till Apr 6th (Monday, US Pacific time).
The KICKR Core was indeed valid then on both REI and CT sites.
Cheers!
Ray –
Regarding GoPro (and others), you think they are going to push out fall launch dates due to covid?
Thanks!
Bruce
My bet would be maybe to slightly. Ultimately, things like this sale are basically admissions that nobody is buying a GoPro because there’s practically no place to use a GoPro (I know, socially distant in there, but GoPro’s shine with people in them).
So if things are mostly the same come September, I’d bet they slow the roll.
Adorama has a bunch of GoPro Hero 8 packages.
link to adorama.com
This one is a Hero Black 8, two GoPro batteries, and a 32GB card for $299.

Ray,
SPRING20 code works for Elite Drivo 2 that is on sale, so the actual price at the end is $720. You can update that. Also, given that with the SPRING20 code you can get Drivo 2 and KICKR Core for the same amount of money ($720), which one would you get? Or would you maybe still go for Saris H3 for $800. Just a simple choice of which one of these 3 would you get, without any detailed explanation would suffice.
Thanks a bunch for everything that you do.
P.S. Maybe pin this “deals” page somewhere obvious on your web page, like in the buyers guide menu. I realized that I posted similar comment in obsolete page for fall deals that I googled to instead of this one, so sorry for double comments :)
Hi Ray,
If the Saris H3 is still $799 at CT (code doesn’t seems to work today) would you go H3, Kickr Core or Elite Suito since price is negligible at that point? Noise difference not a factor for me as I am coming from a Kinetic fluid trainer that I added the inRide3 a couple of years ago. Being able to easily store is a bigger factor. I ride a 9 speed so have to buy a new cassette regardless.
Any EU sales for GoPro? A bit crazy to compare these prices, even now the 299$ is much cheaper then the trade-up offer available from GoPro EU.
Was thinking of buying a new one, but just feel paying too much at the moment in EU?
Ray, also your Amazon link, goes to Amazon FR for 439€… while your table says 299$
Hi,
Thanks for all you do.
Do you know if there will be any Wahoo Kickr Climb deals for Memorial or Father’s Day?
Thanks!
REI also has the same price discounts on the Garmin watches.
I would be kicking myself, but I got the Fenix 6 Sapphire for 28% off a few months ago between a work discount and a sale. I love it!
Someday there will be something in the Random Gadget List.
I just know it.
Mike S – Ask and you shall receive. Today is your day.
SWEET! I just saw that!
I saw the item and immediately scrolled down to this comment. :)
I imagine you having a lot of fun over the “can’t look at gift horse in the mouth” one
Ordered the Kickr Snap from Clever Training during the sale back in March. Order still ‘pending shipment’, product page says OOS as of May 18th.
Clever Training has been basically radio silent, failing to respond to at least half of my Order Status inquiries. Really disappointed in the company. Would’ve payed more $$ for a different product if I could’ve gotten it sooner :(
Same, ordered Kickr Snap from Clever Training last days of March, was supposed to be delivered early May. Just be honest and let us know what the hold up is Clever Training, my guess is that it’s not you but Wahoo manufacturing. Not answering emails won’t earn you repeat business.
Yup, I agree, communications have been rough lately. I pressed the issue again today. I know with closures they’ve been down to a skeleton crew in customer service trying to answer e-mails. It sounds like they’ve been making progress, I believe phone CS lines were set to open back up this week.
Hi all,
Seems like Clever Training continues to take orders (when products are supposedly available) yet deliveries are not taking place. I’ve ordered products as far as 1 and 1/2 months ago and as recent as last week. Nothing delivered, status shows as “shipment pending” and money withdrawn from bank. I’ve seem some people having issues. The worst is that e-mails are not responded. Contact number says to send e-mails. Basically, radio silent. Clever training please address this.
Thank you,
Jorge
Hi Jorge-
Agree.
I’ve had a number of conversations with CT about it last night again, and hoping to see more clarity this week on it. Appreciate your e-mail and support.
Cheers,
Ray
Any chance that any of hear companies place their cycling computers on sale during the month?
any of their*
Can anyone else not access Clevertraining.co.uk? Has it shut down?
CT UK closed earlier this year to focus on the US side. :(
Cycliq FlyCE12 is on sale at 35% off. Can we also expect a new product soon?
They’ve been hinting at a new product forever (like, years). Not sure if we’ll ever see it happen.
May be related to the upcoming release of an updated Fly6, which they have been flogging heavily in breathy emails. The new Fly6 is supposedly smaller. No word on other capabilities. The emails talk about pairing the new Fly6 with “your Fly12.” Unclear if it’s targeted to those who own a Fly12 (I do) or not.
The Forerunner 945 is even cheaper on Garmin’s website – $479
Hi Ray,
The link to Amazon for the Fenix 6 has mysteriously been broken here in the US. From the Amazon US website even if you search the Fenix 6 it is missing and it looks as if they stopped selling the Fenix 6. Have any insight into this? Thanks!
Indeed, I noticed it as well. Super weird. I’ve never seen that ever before. Even when Garmin releases a new product they never kill off the old SKU/ASIN. It’ll last years – like, a decade or more in most cases.
Which is what’s so weird about it. This isn’t out of stock or such, it’s like someone purposefully removed all of the official Fenix 6 ASIN’s except for random 3rd party bundles with screen protectors or such.
I’m digging into it…
Polar US has another 25% – 30% off sales for Vantage watches. From their email;
“Enter code FLASH25 at checkout to apply discount. Code must be entered in all CAPS. Valid only on Polar Vantage M wrist units. Cannot be combined with other discounts, coupons, or offers. Valid in US only. Not valid on previous purchases. While supplies last. Offer expires on 6/22/2020.
**Offer valid only at polar.com. Enter code FLASH30 at checkout to apply discount. Code must be entered in all CAPS. Valid only on Polar Vantage V or Polar Vantage V Titan wrist units.”
Given the circumstances, is there going to be any Black Friday / Cyber Monday deal on smart trainers this year?
I didn’t jump on the wagon last March/April, and since then it doesn’t look there’s been any…
Hard to say. I suspect there will be the typical 20% off sales, but I also suspect there simply won’t be any trainer inventory to go along with it.
Garmin 735XT on sale at REI for 249.99. Model getting pretty old, but might be worth it at this cost? Actually not that much discount from Amazon listed standard price of $279.
Ray, thoughts?
Hi Peter-
Actually, that’s overpriced. It was $169 this past weekend, as well as $169 two weeks ago for Amazon Prime Day.
I’d definitely wait again. To me it says that Amazon has a shedload of these, and is using as a sales driver, which means we’ll almost certainly see it again over Black Friday.
Cheers!
Thanks for clarifying I thought the $169 was more rare
Yeah, it was more rare till about a month ago, but now that we’ve seen it twice in three weeks, that follows the Amazon pattern for how they set pricing floors/new levels. I expect that’ll become the new norm for sales for them.
Any idea if Tacx Galaxia rollers will get the BF treatment? I never see these things on sale
I doubt it. Mostly because at this point there are very few companies putting any trainer related gear on sale.
Is it worth buying Garmin Vector 3 right now with REI’s 20% off or do you think a 4 is just around the corner? It’s been a while since they updated and I heard about some new metrics being patented (albeit for mountain biking).
The patents I saw previously have been around for years. So it’s unclear if that’s something planned, or just doing the usual corporate patent thing.
In general, I don’t really see major advances between iterations of power meters these days. The field has matured enough that the advances are mostly going to be cosmetic/compatibility/battery type things.
Thus, if you were looking or Vector pedals, getting 20% seems like a good option to me.
Awesome, thank you! I got the Nordictrack s22i and I need something to track my stats. I was going to build a script to export them from the machine it but the app it runs off is so buggy that it restarted 4 times in a 1/2 he ride. Shoulda gone with Peloton but I thought this would be somewhere between a Peloton and a Wahoo Kickr w Climb… oops.
Example: Wahoo Kickr Core 544€

FYI: The REI sale catalog, in the US, is showing their November sale (Nov 12-22, 2021) has all Garmin fenix 6 GPS watches for $200 off. I was (and still am) hoping for a sale on the Forerunner 945. If not, I may look at the 6 pro since the features I mainly am looking for are maps and multisports.
Found a slightly better deal for Vertix1.

It might be nice to be able to buy a new Garmin Edge unit, as my 520 is very much past its prime. I know this isn’t a rumor site, but holy heck, it’s way off cycle, it seems.
Kickr v5 is down to £849 in wiggle post Xmas sale!
