7Mesh is renowned for producing some of the best mountain bike apparel around. Their 7Mesh Glidepath pants are no different, scoring an almost faultless 9 out of 10 in our review. The price being the only negative and slightly hard to justify. This Tredz deal will save you £30, and is well worth grabbing fast. We’ve been blessed with some glorious sunshine over the last few weeks here in the UK, and I for one have been out enjoying the dusty and mud-free trails.

We recently highlighted a tasty discount on one of the best budget mountain bikes from Halfords’ in-house bike brand, Voodoo. We reckoned its steel-framed Voodoo Loco was a brilliantly specced buy in the sub £1,000 MTB category.

If you're a forgetful AXS battery charger then this SRAM deal with 29% off is a no-brainer purchase. Two official extra batteries and a bonus spare SRAM Powerback means that you'll never be caught short with a dead battery again. We are big fans of SRAM Eagle AXS groupsets here at MBR – the wireless shifting is fast, accurate, and bikes look so much cleaner without cables.
