Mountain bike deals
These are hardtails from Jenson’s Hardtail Door Busters page. They’re entry-level trail bikes, not big-ticket full-suspension rigs, but the cuts are steep.
Niner Air 9 NX Jenson Exclusive: $899.94 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $899.94. Retailer’s listed was-price: $1,899 (53% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
29er hardtail with a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain (11-50T), Suntour Raidon 34 fork at 120mm, Shimano MT200 brakes, a TranzX dropper post and Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 / Rekon 2.4 tires. Head angle is 68°.
Who it suits: A first real trail hardtail. The 120mm Suntour fork and entry-level Shimano brakes are the places you’d upgrade first.
Orange Crush: $1,099.99 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $1,099.99. Retailer’s listed was-price: $2,600 (58% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
27.5″ hardtail with a RockShox Recon Silver fork at 150mm, Microshift Advent X 10-speed (11-48T), Tektro HD-M275 brakes, a KS Rage-i dropper and Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II 2.6 tires.
Who it suits: Riders who want a hardtail that points downhill. The 63.5° head angle and 150mm fork favor descending over long, flat miles.
Niner AIR 9 SX: $1,319.94 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $1,319.94. Retailer’s listed was-price: $2,199.99 (40% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
29er hardtail with a Suntour Raidon 34X fork at 120mm, SRAM SX Eagle (11-50T), SRAM Level brakes and a KS LEV SI dropper.
Who it suits: Riders who want a 29er hardtail with stronger brakes than the Air 9 NX. Fork travel stays at 120mm, so it’s a trail bike, not a park bike.
Gravel bike deals
For more picks by budget, see our best gravel bikes under $3,000 guide.
Niner RLT 9 RDO Apex XPLR: $1,899.94 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $1,899.94. Retailer’s listed was-price: $3,799.99 (50% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
RDO carbon frame and fork, SRAM Apex XPLR 12-speed with a 40T ring and 11-44T cassette, SRAM Apex hydraulic brakes, Schwalbe G-One R 45mm tires on alloy wheels. Clears 700x50c or 650b x 2.0″ and has rack and fender mounts.
Who it suits: One bike for gravel, commuting and loaded touring. The alloy wheels are the obvious later upgrade.
Salsa Stormchaser GRX 810 1x SUS: $1,999.94 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $1,999.94. Retailer’s listed was-price: $3,549 (44% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
Gravel bike with a RockShox Rudy XPLR fork at 40mm, Shimano GRX RX810 1×11 drivetrain and 700x47mm Teravail Rutland tires.
Who it suits: Rough-road riders who want front suspension on a drop-bar bike. It’s 11-speed, so the gear range is narrower than the 12-speed bikes here.
Cervelo Aspero Apex XPLR 1: $3,374 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $3,374. Retailer’s listed was-price: $3,750 (10% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
Carbon frame and fork with Cervélo’s two-position Trail Mixer dropout, SRAM Apex XPLR 12-speed (40T, 11-44T), SRAM Apex hydraulic brakes and WTB Vulpine 45mm tires. Clears 700x45mm or 650b x 47mm.
Who it suits: Riders who want a fast, race-leaning carbon gravel bike. The discount is small, so buy it for the bike, not the deal.
Santa Cruz Stigmata 4 CC Rival AXS: $4,299 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $4,299. Retailer’s listed was-price: $5,049 (15% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
Carbon CC frame with a down-tube Glovebox, SRAM Rival AXS shifters with a GX Eagle AXS T-Type derailleur and 10-52T cassette, SRAM Rival brakes and Maxxis Rambler 45mm tires. Clears 50mm tires and works with a 40mm suspension fork.
Who it suits: Riders who want wireless shifting and a huge gear range for steep climbs. The 10-52T mullet setup has bigger jumps between gears than a road-style cassette.
e-MTB deals

Santa Cruz Vala 1 AL Deore E-Bike 2026: $4,649 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $4,649. Retailer’s listed was-price: $6,199 (25% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
Aluminum full-power e-MTB with a Bosch Performance CX motor and 600Wh battery, a 160mm Psylo Gold fork and Shimano Deore 12-speed.
Who it suits: The entry point to a full-power Santa Cruz. You get an aluminum frame and Deore parts, so it’s heavier and simpler than the carbon builds.
Santa Cruz Vala 1 C 90 E-Bike: $7,749 at Jenson USA
Deal price: $7,749. Retailer’s listed was-price: $9,099 (15% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.

Deal price: $499.99. Retailer’s listed was-price: $899.99 (44% off, our math). Ends: end date not stated.
Direct-drive smart trainer rated to 2,000 watts, 16% max simulated incline and ±2.5% power accuracy. Includes QR plus 12×142 and 12x148mm thru-axle adapters.
Who it suits: Riders who want a direct-drive smart trainer for Zwift on a budget. The cassette is sold separately, and it weighs 52 lbs, so it isn’t easy to move around.

When do Black Friday bike sales start and end?
They’ve already started. Jenson USA, Specialized and Ride1Up all had Black Friday or early Black Friday pages live when we checked. Black Friday itself is Nov 27, 2026, and most retailers run through Cyber Monday, Nov 30. Most retailers haven’t posted end dates, so we list them as “end date not stated” until they do.
How we check deals
We check every price on the retailer’s own product page. We list the retailer’s current price and its listed was-price, and we calculate the percent off ourselves. We only include gear that fits our guides or big-ticket mountain, gravel and e-MTB bikes. Prices move during sale season, so check the retailer page before you buy. More on our process: research and review methodology.
