Summertime is bike time. And what could be better than getting kitted out for your next tour - maybe even with a new bike...? We have listed various products for the summer sale, from clothing and bike components to racing bikes and gravel bikes, some of which are currently heavily discounted. We have already tested most of them.

Topics in this article

From heavily discounted products, such as the Ridley Noah Disc Ultegra, to products that were previously quite cheap but really impressed us in the test, everything is included. If you're going on a longer tour in the near future, you might want a new bikepacking bag and an additional jersey. Others may need a new helmet. The selection is colourful - just like the discounts.

We had the Wilier Filante SLR Ultegra Di2 with Dura-Ace equipment already tested. There it was convincing in terms of weight and aerodynamics, the stiffness values left room for improvement. Although the overall package with high-quality components has its price, it is currently discounted.

Probably one of the most popular gravel bikes is the Rose Backroad in its various versions. The GRX RX810 weighs 8.6 kilos, is equipped with Shimano components and is visually very appealing - its great success is probably due to its attractive price and design, among other things. The carbon bike also impresses with its effective, long seat post extension, which promises more suspension travel.

How do you like this article?

The Ridley Noah Disc Ultegra (with 105 groupset from Shimano) was part of a Comparative tests of competition racing bikes and scored a TOUR grade of 2.5. At the time, we identified the comfortable frame and the option of customised paint finishes as strengths. Weaknesses were the relatively heavy equipment, which was partly due to the 105 groupset, and only five available sizes. The competition road bike is currently available at a significantly reduced price.

Gonso SQlab Go Bib

In a large comparison of 18 cycling shorts, the Gonso SQlab Go Bib was our price-performance tip. The tight, thin padding of the cycling shorts from a co-operation with the specialists from SQlab remains pressure-resistant even on long rides, but requires hard sit bones. Although the fabric is elasticated, it is a little scratchy. The seamless straps are sufficiently tight and keep the trousers secure. Overall rating: 2.0. You can find more details in our test.
