About the Brand
Planet X is a Sheffield-based cycling retailer that has been serving riders since the late 1980s. The company designs, builds, and sells road bikes, mountain bikes, and gravel machines under its own labels — On-One and Titus sit alongside the Planet X brand — while also stocking third-party names like Carnac. By manufacturing in-house and selling direct to the customer, they keep prices notably lower than most high-street bike shops.
The product range stretches well beyond complete bikes. Cycling clothing starts from around £2, helmets from under £20, and accessories like lights, baselayers, and racks fill out the catalogue. They also carry turbo trainers and rollers for indoor sessions, along with a full line of cycling-specific eyewear — including frameless wraparound designs with anti-glare lenses and UV400 protection from brands like Carnac, Aero, and Jetblack.
A standout feature is the custom build service. Customers can request specific component changes — wider handlebars, different gear ratios, particular saddle choices — and trained technicians assemble the bike at the Sheffield factory before shipping it in a purpose-built box. The 30-day ride guarantee lets you return a bike after actually riding it, which is unusual in the cycling retail space. They also participate in the Cycle to Work scheme through Cyclescheme, offering tax-free savings of up to 39 percent.
Between the sale section, newsletter subscriber deals, and gift cards from £10, there are a few ways to trim the cost further. The offers below are worth a look before you head to the checkout.
How to use
Shopping Guide
Is Planet X good value compared to high-street bike shops? Planet X designs and builds bikes at its Sheffield factory and sells direct, cutting out distributor and retail margins. A bike at a given spec level typically costs less than a comparable model from a high-street retailer. The trade-off is no physical showroom, though the 30-day ride guarantee offsets that. We’d suggest speccing a similar bike at two or three shops before buying — the gap is often wider than you’d expect.
When’s the best time to buy from Planet X? There’s a year-round sale section from £1, but the sharpest discounts arrive during Black Friday, Boxing Day, and end-of-season clearance events. Newsletter subscribers sometimes get early access or exclusive codes. New-season stock tends to push older models into the sale — late autumn and early spring are worth watching if you’re after a previous-year bike at a lower price.
I’m new to cycling — is Planet X a good starting point? They cover a range of budgets with entry-level bikes at accessible prices. If you’re unsure about sizing, their team can discuss options before you order, and the custom build service lets you tailor the bike to your needs. The Cycle to Work scheme brings costs down for commuters, and the 30-day ride guarantee means you’re not locked in if the bike doesn’t feel right on the road.
Can I combine Cycle to Work savings with other Planet X offers? The scheme delivers 25 to 39 percent off retail through tax-free salary sacrifice. Whether sale prices stack on top depends on the individual offer terms. Contact Planet X directly before ordering if you’ve spotted a time-limited deal alongside the scheme — they can confirm whether both savings apply, and you don’t want to miss a promotion while waiting on scheme paperwork.
