Update 11/28/23: We’re continuing to see significant discounts across all styles of bikes post-Cyber Monday. But some models are selling out in the more popular sizes after the shopping weekend, which could make it difficult to find the ride you want. The women’s Cannondale Trail 6 is the most popular deal among our readers right now, discounted to $520 at REI. We recently found the larger 29-inch version on sale at Mike’s Bikes for $650, 25 percent off its original price.
Cyber Monday is here, and so are the sales. Whether you’re looking for a new ride for yourself or plan on gifting your child their first one, right now, you can find several deals across retailers like Mike’s Bikes, Competitive Cyclist, and REI. Additionally, some of our favorite bike brands have slashed prices on their own catalogs, like Trek and Specialized. And, of course, e-bikes are also on sale this week, especially those by Aventon and Rad Power Bikes.
The Best Cyber Monday 2023 Bicycle Deals
Those retailers we mentioned—Mike’s Bikes, Competitive Cyclist, and REI—are discounting several fully built bicycles from brands like Yeti, Cannondale, Specialized, and Santa Cruz. And there are many gravel and mountain bikes on sale across other retailers, too.
Several of these discounted bikes have topped our best of lists and are staff favorites. The Aventon Soltera.2, for one, is one of the best e-bikes from the brand. It’s a base-level offering with your choice of a single- or seven-speed drivetrain, making one versatile ride to warrant a purchase from even the tightest of budgets. It’s a solid bike that impressed our test editor Tara Seplavy, who says its light weight (relative to other e-bikes, of course) is great for commuters who may need to lift it upstairs or around the city. Right now, you can nab it for $999 flat.
If you’re searching for an accessible and user-friendly e-bike, all models from Rad Power are on sale right now. We’re fans of the RadRover 6 Plus, a fat bike with an updated display and hydraulic disc brakes that make for a smooth ride. It’s on sale now for $1,399, down from $2,099. You can read our full review here.
Regarding gravels, select models in our favorite Cannondale Topstone series are on sale for Cyber Monday. The Topstone Carbon 5, which provides the smoothest gravel ride, has a dropped chainstay for running big volume tires and a lightweight frame with the brand’s proprietary Kingpin suspension for smoothness and comfort. Grab one at 20 percent off at REI now.
Other models on our sales list are from brands we trust, have tested, and ride today, including Benno, Cervelo, and Specialized.

Is Cyber Monday a Good Time to Buy a Bicycle?
Absolutely, and doubly so if you’re looking for an e-bike. Through the latter half of November and ending on Cyber Monday, November 27, you can take hundreds off of big-ticket bikes from several of our favorite brands.
E-bikes—especially those made by DTC brands—usually feature steeper discounts than their non-motorized counterparts. Take Rad Power Bikes, for instance, which is currently slashing prices on every model it sells—its e-trike is currently almost half off.
Historically, this is the time of year when retailers are offloading several overstock bicycles to make room for new models. It’s also where discontinued bikes are deeply discounted and cleared out, such as REI’s in-label brand, Co-op Cycles, and its two e-bikes (which we adore, by the way): the Co-op Cycles Generation e1.1 and Co-op Cycles Generation e1.2. The best bike deals happen around fall and again, though sporadically, through the end of the year, as brands unveil the latest updates.
