Black Friday 2024 - When it's happening and why you should care about it as a biker

Updated: Today 08:58

It’s that time of year where we start to wonder what deals will be coming up in Black Friday – which will fall on November 29 in 2024.

The Black Friday sales may not seem like something to get excited about from a motorcycling point of view, but there’s often clearance stock to be snapped up as retailers make room for the following year’s ranges.

Amazon Black Friday motorbike deals 2024

Amazon’s Black Friday deals will be available from November 21 – December 2 this year, although the online retailer says that prices will change during the course of the event. There will also be limited time ‘lightning deals’ on a first come, first served basis. Here are some of the stand-out deals so far or you can browse our dedicated Amazon Black Friday page for more.

Favoto Motorbike Cover

Price: £17.13 (was £22.99)

View Offer

Tested by Ben Clarke for 3 months

"These bike covers from little-known American brand Favoto often drop to silly prices in Amazon sale events and so we thought we’d get hold of one to see if it’s any good. I got the XXL (245cm) option and it’s the right size for the Triumph Scrambler 400X I’m currently testing.

"I was immediately impressed by the front and rear clips to fix it over the bike as I’ve never got on with the under the belly fasteners you get on many covers. It seems really robust and has weathered a few blustery storms without tearing so far, plus you get a UV reflective layer for sun protection.

"On the flipside, some customer reviews on Amazon say it’s shredded in bad weather. That hasn’t been my experience despite the cover being used through some nasty storms but the bike lives in a sheltered location behind a wall.

"At full price I’d say it’s worth buying, but in Amazon sales like Black Friday it's hard to ignore."

Pros

Incredible value, especially in sales events
Robust fabric and strong seams
UV-resistant layer under the waterproof membrane
Front and rear fitment clips
Holes for feeding through a modest security chain

Cons

A bit shapeless and baggy in places
Some customer reviews claim it shredded in severe weather (not my experience)
Security chain holes aren’t big enough for big chains

Reapp Alarm Disc Lock

Price: £22.79 (was £32.99)

View Offer

Tested by Ben Clarke for 3 months

“You’ve probably not heard of Reapp – and nor had we until recently – but the deals on their disc locks are hard to ignore, especially in Amazon sale events.

“At full price, the Reapp costs £32.99 and for that money you’d probably go for a brand you’ve heard of like Oxford who have alarmed disc locks in this price range.

“But when it’s on offer at Amazon for as little as £23.99, it can look very tempting. So tempting, in fact, that we bought one.

“The first thing you notice as you take the lock out of the packaging is that it is incredibly light. The whole top casing is made of thin cast metal and is pretty much hollow apart from the alarm circuitry. It doesn’t fill you with confidence.

“The bottom section is made from solid metal but has such a cheap and scratchy finish that I initially thought it was made of plastic.

“It’s not all bad, though, as the alarm sound is genuinely ear-splitting. It’s high-pitched and very loud and would definitely demand attention if someone was trying to steal your bike.

“If you have a good-quality disc lock already without an alarm then the Reapp would make a good addition to your security armoury and it’s definitely better than nothing at all but if you have the budget there are better-quality options out there.”

Tested by Richard Newland for three years and 30,000 miles

"This tracker is an affordable and simple option. I’ve been using previous versions for years, and most recently added two of these to my fleet. The unit cost includes two months of SIM coverage, then it’s just £36 per year.

"Set-up is as easy as deploying the batteries (no wiring needed) and syncing to your smartphone via the App, through which you can see unit status, battery life, connection and location of your bike when tracking. If the unit senses movement, but can’t contact the fob, you’ll get a call on your device and live tracking will begin."

Tried and tested by Jim Blackstock

"When you add in all the elements that form this system, it’s not cheap. However, it is a very convenient and well-engineered system that makes using your phone as a sat nav or camera on your bike incredibly easy.|"

"It also keeps the battery topped up and the rain away. However, most importantly, it reduces the vibrations that can kill an iPhone in as few as a couple of rides, and that alone has to be worth the investment."

Pros

Very well engineered
Separate and effective vibration dampening
Weatherproof wireless changing head

Amazon Prime

Amazon’s Black Friday event in 2024 will run from November 21 – December 2. It’s worthwhile signing up to Prime to take advantage of the best deals. It’s a 30-day free trial and gives you access to faster, next day delivery.

What Is Black Friday?

It’s something that sly marketing executives for retailers caught onto in America. Over there, Black Friday occurs the day after Thanksgiving, thus allegedly signalling the beginning of the Christmas season.

It’s been a wonderful excuse for retailers to boost sales with in-store and online deals and businesses in the UK have been fanning the flames of the burning holes in pockets for some years now.

When is Black Friday?

Traditionally on the last weekend of November, meaning this year it will take place on the weekend starting November 29. However, we’ve noticed online shops announcing great deals earlier and earlier in the past. Amazon have announced that their deals will run from November 21 – December 2, 2024.
