With the approach of Black Friday, Rapha is starting to ramp up its deals. It often has some nice discounts on its older stock, as it rotates colours and updates its huge range of performance cycling kit. 

Although the best cycling deals are often saved for around Black Friday itself, you can still find bargains at Rapha today.

One option to save money on Rapha, if you want more than one item, is to take advantage of its bundles. By bundling certain items together, Rapha offers a small discount over buying each item separately. This is great for treating yourself to a whole outfit, but will only save you money if you were planning on buying them all anyway. 

If you want to really save big on Rapha, head to its Archive Sale where previous seasons' clothing resides with heavily slashed prices. Sizes may be limited, of course, but there's always a wide range of products available. Luckily for you, we've done the digging for you, and below we've picked what we think are the best Rapha deals available now, saving you the effort.

But who are Rapha?

Rapha was founded by Simon Mottram in London back in 2004. Rapha's first release was 'the classic jersey' a piece of cycling clothing that helped change the look and design of cycling clothing worldwide. Mottram's aim was to mix high fashion with high performance, and though he has now stepped down as Rapha CEO his influence and creative direction are still plain to see. In the early days, Rapha was a purely road-specific brand and has always had road riding at its core. It sponsored the all-conquering Team Sky for several years and now supports and sponsors the Canyon//SRAM and EF Education-EasyPost WorldTour teams. 

Rapha cycling kit often appears in our buyer's guides across various cycling disciplines these days, as it now makes kit for gravel cycling and even mountain biking. You will find Rapha options in our guides for the best cycling shorts, best cycling jerseys and many more. You can explore its newer gravel and mountain bike apparel in our gravel bike clothing guide.

Rapha’s well-thought-out kit caters for every level of rider, whether you're starting out with its more-affordable Core line or leading the pack in its Pro Team range. Rapha doesn’t just make cycling clothing and accessories but casual clothing suited to commuting, relaxed rides and wearing off the bike. 

The brand's loyal following is well-deserved and hard-won; not only is Rapha clothing consistently well-reviewed but it stands by the quality of its products. All of Rapha’s riding collections is covered by a 30-day free return period, free crash repair service and even a 50% discount as part of its jersey downsize offer

Beyond the clothing, Rapha works hard to build cycling communities by sponsoring unique events and through its RCC (Rapha Cycling Club) global community. If you decide to go all-in with Rapha and join RCC, you will be in the company of more than 12,000 members with access to a wealth of perks and benefits. There are special group rides, a members-only kit, and 50% off coffee at the Rapha clubhouses. If you travel often, then the RCC bike hire is a perk that might be especially useful. Having access to a top-quality bike and a computer with local routes on it is tough to find without RCC. 

Rapha not for you? 

Worry not, there is a load of great clothing on sale from many of the biggest brands on the market. Check out our pick of great cycling clothing brands for some inspiration, including other big brands like Assos, Gore, Endura, Castelli and more.
