Just when we thought mountain bike discounts might be slowing down, Competitive Cyclist drops their 2025 Big Bike Sale! Here are the five bikes that we recommend based on price, performance, and build spec. Most sizes are still available as of press time, but hurry — these won’t last.
Santa Cruz Hightower C R
$4,799.00 | $3,349.00 sale
The Hightower is an incredibly popular and versatile mid-travel 29er trail bike. This C R build features a carbon frame with Glovebox in-frame storage. At this price, there’s plenty of room to upgrade components down the line. The Ocean Blue colorway is also available, though in select sizes only.

Ibis Ripmo AF Deore
$3,299.00 | $2,474.25 sale
The Ibis Ripmo AF delivers an excellent value even at full retail price. Discounted by more than $800, it’s a steal! (Check the black colorway for best size availability.)

Rocky Mountain Element C70 GX Transmission Carbon Wheel
$7,899.00 | $5,150.00 sale
Though this is the previous-generation Element, the geometry is almost identical to the 2025 Element which makes this an excellent buy! The sub-30lb C70 build here comes with a GX Eagle Transmission wireless drivetrain and carbon wheels. For those who prefer a purely mechanical experience, the C50 build with XT drivetrain is on sale for only $3,450.

The Yeti SB140 trail bike features Switch Infinity suspension for traction both uphill and downhill. This build goes big with Fox Factory suspension, a wireless drivetrain, a OneUp dropper post, and Crankbrothers wheels.

Pivot Vault Force XPLR Gravel Bike
$6,949.00 | $3,800.00 sale
The Pivot Vault gravel bike frame only weighs about 1kg and fits tires up to 700x47c or 27.5×2.0″. This build leaves little to be desired, with wireless electronic Force XPLR shifting, DT Swiss CR 1600 SPLINE wheels, and Maxxis Rambler tires.
