Tara Seplavy's Picks

Lightweight Trail Jacket

This jacket packs down small for storage in a bag and includes a strap to secure to your frame or under a saddle. While Rapha labels this a “trail” jacket, I often bring it on road and gravel rides since it’s lightweight and practical.

Subzero Sealant

Orange Seal makes this special formula tubeless sealant for winter riding. Formulated to work in chilly temps as low as -20 degrees F, it’s especially good for mountain bikers and commuters riding year-round.

Sleuth DLX Shoe

This flat pedal shoe combines style cues from the iconic Adidas Samba and the on-the-trail performance of Five Ten’s legendary Stealth rubber. If you ride flat pedals, this shoe is definitely worth checking out.

Network Helmet

One of my favorite helmets for gravel and road, the Network features MIPS technology for improved protection during crashes. A nifty feature is the included fabric visor—perfect for keeping rain or sun out of your eyes. Plus, Smith offers the Network in more than a dozen color combinations.

SL Computer Mount

This faceplate with integrated computer mount is a great upgrade for many Zipp stems by cleaning up the handlebar and placing your device in clear view. Compatible with Garmin and Wahoo attachment systems, the Sprint QuickView also has an integrated mount for GoPros and many cycling lights.

Super Sticky Bar Tape

New bar tape is a smart way to improve the look and feel of any drop bar bike. Supacaz’s Super Stick Kush bar tape is favored by road and gravel riders for its grip and stylish appearance. The star fade oil slick version is some of the best-looking bar tape out there.

Endurance 2.0 Jersey

Shuttered earlier this year, MFF was a trailblazing leader in women’s-specific cycling apparel. Pick up one of the brand’s great jerseys before they are gone forever.

Soltera.2 E-Bike

The Aventon’s Soltera provides a zippy ride for commuting, running errands, or getting around a college campus. Lightweight and equipped with 700x38mm tires, disc brakes, and front and rear lights, the Soltera is a bargain for the price.

Matt Phillips's Picks

A1 MIPS

One of the most iconic mountain bike helmets of all time, the A1 is not only stylish, but also very comfortable and vents reasonably well, too. This version offers the added protection of MIPS to help mitigate rotational force injuries.

Mini Bar Bag

If you haven’t jumped on the bar bag trend, here’s your opportunity to get one of my favorites on sale. The OrNot Mini—both secure and stylish—won't take up much room or hinder your aero profile significantly.

Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)

The great thing about SRAM’s UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) is, just like the name says, it is universal. That means a spare hanger for your UDH bike, your buddies, and the friends you meet on the trail is all the same. Pick an extra one or two up and you’ll always be ready.

Torch 1.0

The Torch 1.0 is comfortable, stylish (it's offered in 10 colors), and high performance. And it just happens to be inexpensive—even when it’s not on sale. But $90 for a great shoe with BOA closure is a ridiculous deal. Keeping a spare set in your car or to use for indoor riding (so you don’t break down your favorite shoes) is a good idea.

Minion DHF 29x2.5 Tire

Arguably the standard by which all mountain bike tires are judged, the Minion DHF is one of our Hall of Fame products. This tire just works, and works pretty much everywhere. It's durable and long lasting, too. Even if the DHF isn’t your bidon of electrolytes, REI has a host of Maxxis mountain tires on sale.

5010 Carbon C GX Eagle AXS Mountain Bike

The current 5010 matches moderate travel (130mm rear, 140mm front) with mixed wheels (27.5 rear, 29 front). While this bike might not straight-line chunder like a bigger 29er, it’s a poppy, playful bike that handles like a dream. This build features SRAM AXS electronic shifting too, and there's internal storage in the downtube for a repair kit, a lightweight jacket, or a tasty burrito.

Trail Series Alpha Jacket

Primaloft’s Alpha Direct insulation is a near miracle: Light, comfortable, quick drying, and warm when wet. With its phenomenal insulation to weight ratio, it’s the perfect way to stay warm when temps drop. Specialized’s jacket is a go-to of mine here in the mountains of Colorado because it wraps that insulation in a jacket with perfect fit and functionality.

GX AXS Upgrade Kit

If you have a SRAM Eagle equipped bike and want to make the jump to the robotic precision and stability of electronic shifting, this kit offers the bits you need. GX may be bottom rung of SRAM’s AXS mountain parts, but it employs all the same technologies—and identical motors, firmware, and batteries—so you’ll save money without any performance sacrifice.

Gabe Ortiz's Picks

Fluid2 Trainer - Smart Equipped

I started out on this trainer, and it was my main staple for years. I love the easy entry in terms of price and the ability to explore indoor training without sinking a ton of money into a setup.

Explore Bar Bag

There is no such thing as the perfect bar bag. Rapha got pretty close with this design as it pulls double duty on your bars or across your hip. It's water-resistant with taped seams and a polyurethane coating inside.

Men's Trail Windblock Bike Jersey

If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a big Rapha fan boy. The products it creates are purpose designed. This MTB jersey is no different with its windblocking chest panel. Longsleeved and comfortable, it will take the edge off any wind or cold.

Pro Team Aero Cycling Jersey

Rapha’s jersey are a dialed fit with the resilience to survive season after season. This printed style with aero design cues is meant to keep you cool looking when the effort gets tough.

Morse Cage Ti Water Bottle Cage

If you're familiar with the classic work of King Cage out of Durango, Wolf Tooth’s Morse Cage is a stunning alternative to the time tested standard. What I love about this cage is the ability to reposition it up or down depending on my needs.

Stealth Tubeless Puncture Plug Kit

For those times when you want to be a secret agent of tools and gadgets, this tubeless puncture kit lives in the ends of your handlebars. It's definitely a necessary accessory if you're running your wheels tubeless.

Ninja Mini Pump with CO2 Inflator

Another critical piece of equipment—and it fits in a jersey pocket or seat bag—to ensure you get back on the road is the Ninja pump with optional CO2 inflator. This double-duty pump is going to help get the bead back on with the CO2 Adapter, plus you can then finish off getting to the desired PSI with the pump.

Wash Protect and Lube Kit

A Clean bike is a Fast bike, unless your Wout or Pidcock. Nevertheless, consider Muc-Off Wash and Lube kit to keep your bike rolling fast and looking clean!

Molly Hurford's Picks

Travel Shoe Dryer

The worst feeling in the world is heading out for a ride, putting on your shoes, and realizing they’re still cold and damp from yesterday’s wet ride. That’s why I’m obsessed with this shoe dryer. It has two small fans that you stick in your shoes to dry them out for the next day. Keeps shoes less smelly over time, too.

Booties

You finish a cyclocross race in sleeting rain and when you get back to your car, your feet are so cold, they’re numb. These let you slip your feet into the equivalent of a sleeping bag on each foot—but with a sole that still lets you walk around to hit the beer tent or cheer for the next race. These booties are the absolute best things to have on your feet after a cold mountain bike ride or mucky cyclocross race.

Her’ Chamois Cream

For rides over 90 minutes, I don’t leave home without Chamois Butt’r Her’ Chamois Cream. Never have, never will. This stuff is magic for reducing friction between your bum and your bike, and it reduces your risk of chafing or saddle sores. This blend adds in aloe, green tea leaf extract, tea tree oil, shea butter, and lavender oil for a nice-smelling, anti-microbial experience.

Signature Bib Shorts

When it comes to bike shorts, I recommend the Velocio Signature Bib Shorts over and over again. They’re comfortable, they make it easy to pee (just pull down the back and go!), they hold up to tons of wear and tear (my first pair from 2012? I still wear them) and they manage to avoid the ’sausage leg’ issue with their rubberized grippers. If you’re new to bib shorts, treat yourself to a pair and you’ll be amazed at how much nicer your ride feels.

Air2

My husband and I are absolutely those guys when it comes to bringing our miniature dachshund, DW, everywhere. Like gravel pro Alexey Vermeulen, we tote our longboi in the K9 Sport Sac Air2 for rides around town and when we’re traveling. While not specifically designed for cycling, it comes in a bunch of colors and is relatively easy to get your pup in and out of.

Adjustable Weight Dumbbells

As someone who definitely won’t make time to go to the gym and who doesn’t have the space for a full rack of weights or a home gym setup, I love my adjustable weights. It lets me go heavy for legs with things like goblet squats and single-leg deadlifts, but then lighten up for upper body work—all in a compact size that takes up only a couple square feet of space next to the trainer.

Pro Barrier Jacket

This lightweight jacket doesn’t look like much, but it’s one of the comfiest, most versatile jackets I’ve worn in a long time. The Pro Barrier Jacket is stretchy, so you can pull it on over multiple layers, and it has two way zip, which makes access to your jersey pockets super easy mid-ride. Easily packable, it can be jammed into said jersey pockets if temps warm up.

Medium Embrocation

If you’re a cyclocross racer who hasn’t heard of embrocation, allow me to enlighten you: This spicy, tingly mixture gets rubbed on your legs and creates a warming sensation that lets you power through the chilliest of races. I love Mad Alchemy’s medium formula for warming without burning, having a smooth consistency that feels damn luxurious, and a smell that is absolutely delicious.

Pressure Washer

When my dad bought this as a Christmas gift for us a couple years ago, I thought it was ridiculous. Who needs a pressure washer outside of the cyclocross pits? Then I realized, I do. Living in a small apartment with no hose hookup means bike washing is tricky.

This feeds out of a water bucket, making it easy to spray off our bikes at the trailhead or in the driveway. Bonus: Also great for cleaning your deck.

Normatec 3

Admittedly, these compression boots look goofy. But after two years of using them almost daily, I am a convert. The Normatec boots zip up over your legs and fill with air to compress your legs and feet, and after a long ride or run, there is nothing better than coming home and putting these on, with the exception of actually going for a massage.

They’re also great if you travel a lot, since they help reduce the swelling you tend to get after long drives or flights. Plus, they force you to sit on the couch and actually take a break, which for me, is 90% of the battle!

Michelangelo 2 Bike Storage Rack

I've owned several of these simple bike racks over the years. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve lived in an apartment without one in my entire adult life. This rack is not fancy, but it’s strong and fits virtually any bike. It lets you turn a narrow hallway into a slightly more organized space for bikes, and doubles your open floor space. Key for anyone who believes in the N+1 rule of bike ownership.

Flash Java Kit Camping and Backpacking Stove Cooking System with Silicone French Press Coffee Maker

You can probably tell from this list that I deeply love cyclocross, and the Jetboil with the coffee maker hook-up is a cyclocross race day essential. It’s ideal for those days when you’re riding to the course with people racing at different times than you, and you know you’ll spend a long day shivering while you cheer.

It’s also great for making coffee at the trailhead after a long mountain bike ride, or on that bikepacking trip you’ve been planning. The Jetboil is the easiest/simplest camp stove out there, and packs up to a small travel-friendly size that makes it easy to bring along for any event.

PocketRocket 2 Ultralight Camping and Backpacking Mini Stove Kit

This setup is ideal for that bikepacking trip you’ve been planning. It's compact, ultralight (9.9 ounces) and easy to use. It's a travel-friendly size that makes it a no-brainer to bring it along for any overnight outing.

Suzie Dundas's Picks

Hot Laps 5L Hip Pack

I switched years ago to the Dakine Hot Laps Waistpack, which covers less space than a backpack. Thanks to a built-in water reservoir and hose, pockets on the hip strap, external compression straps, and a bevy of internal and external clips and pockets, I can carry more than enough for a 20-mile-plus mountain bike day or weekend century ride. (Prices vary by color.)

Carbon Racer

Flat tires aren’t hard to fix, but doing so can take some time, assuming you have the tools to fix them on you. Fortunately, the DynaPlug Carbon Racer tool makes fixing puncture holes in tubeless tires as quick as humanly possible.

The tiny tool straps to your frame and patches holes in just a few seconds. Fixes are guaranteed for life, so you can ride on for the rest of the season without another thought.

It comes with different size tips and weighs just half an ounce. It works for tubeless mountain, road, or gravel bike tires, and you can buy different sized tips online (though it comes with a few sizes).

Freyah Pants

It’s not difficult to find bike pants for men, but for women, the options get fewer and farther between. Wild Rye’s Freyah Pants fit a variety of body types, and the brand uses only real female cyclists in its ads, rather than models. Great for cold-weather road or mountain biking, these have big pockets that fit a phone and a full calf zipper so you can easily adjust knee pads. (Prices vary based on color.)

Wildcat sunglasses

Despite how much time I spend on my bikes, I put off buying a nice pair of mountain bike sunglasses for at least a year. Instead, I wore cheap plastic ones. The Smith Wildcat, bike-specific glasses that somehow never slip, will slide smoothly over your ears on long, curly, or delicate hair. They’re anti-fog, have oversized coverage to prevent eye watering at high speeds, and come with a clear lens for cloudy days.

Terrex Multi Wind Jacket

I’ve tested probably a dozen wind jackets, and the very simple, very useful Adidas TERREX Multi Wind Jacket is my absolute favorite. It’s extremely thin and takes up little room in my hip pack. Equally important: it’s extremely effective at keeping cold wind off my layers when going downhill. It has a straightforward fit, mesh pits to reduce sweating, and elastic hems and cuffs that won’t roll up.

Zee Cage II with Tool

I’m all about carrying as little as possible on your person, and it seems Specialized is, too. This combo water bottle holder and multitool attaches to your bike and holds the most common sizes of hex wrenches, the star-shaped tip (called a T25 Torx), and a flathead screwdriver.

That way, you’ll have the basic tools needed for everything from tightening your shoe clips to adjusting your dropper post and don’t need to carry a separate tool in your bag or pocket.

Grin Sock

Bike socks are one of those things that you can always use, especially considering that one pedal strike or snag can lead to giant holes. Fortunately, Sock Guy makes some of the most ridiculous-in-a-good-way bike socks I’ve ever seen.

They come in a taller crew height or shorter quarter-crew with patterns ranging from Chinese food rainbows to thermal-scan velociraptor to pizza delivery. Given the low price and quirky patterns, they make a great holiday gift for bikers — especially bikers with an off-beat sense of humor.

FoldyLock

The first time I saw a FoldyLock on a bike, I thought to myself “what the hell is that?” I learned soon after it’s a fairly clever solution to securely locking bikes that don't lend themselves well to U-shaped locks. The FoldyLock has multiple joints but is made with hardened steel, giving it the security of a U-lock with the convenience of a chain lock.

It comes in a few styles; I’d recommend the Clipster for road bikes (it’s lightweight and easy to carry) and the larger-circumference Classic FoldyLock for mountain bikers attaching their bike to car racks.

If you’re buying for yourself, remember: a bike lock is a theft deterrent that’ll hopefully convince would-be thieves to move on. But considering some mountain bikes cost more than the cars they’re mounted on, you’ll likely want two entirely separate locking mechanisms if you’re planning to leave it unattended.

Lobster Evo Cycling Gloves

My fingers get cold when I bike, especially if the wind is whipping against my sweaty hands on speedy downhills. Fortunately, Pearl Izumi makes a bike glove for cold weather riding that combines the insulation and warmth of a ski glove with the features you need for biking.

They’re waterproof, insulated with the same material as winter gloves, touchscreen-compatible, and keep the middle and index fingers free for shifting and braking.

Soft Air Road Tall Sock

These SoftAir Road Tall socks from Specialized will be an extra-welcome gift to some riders, since they have arch support to prevent foot fatigue, a tall cuff to keep your legs warm during winter riding, and are made with moisture-wicking fabric to prevent stinky foot sweat. They're another great option if you're shopping for the cyclist in your life—even if that cyclist is you!

Mountain Bike Shoes

Whether you’re on a trail, dirt, pavement, or gravel, one thing everyone can agree on is that shoes that loosen while riding are incredibly annoying. Fortunately, the same BOA locking wheel technology once reserved for keeping snowboard boots tight is now available for bike shoes, eliminating both the need to stop and tighten your shoes, and the more serious risk of getting your laces stuck in your gears.

The Pearl Izumi Expedition shoe is designed for both mountain biking and road biking and comes in mens and women’s versions. Sizing is very standard and they’re stiff but comfortable right out of the box.

Sidekick Bike Folding Lock

The OTTO Sidekick Folding Lock has multiple joints but is made with solid steel, giving it the security of a U-lock with the convenience of a chain lock. It weighs about 2 lbs., clips to bike frames, and has a long enough diameter for e-bikes with thicker frames.
