With the exchanging of gifts day getting closer and closer, it’s time to get those gifts got. If you have a mountain biker in your life, below are some items they’re almost guaranteed to love. And with a range of price tags, you can pick and choose how much love you want to show them.
Cranked Energy Bars
Made in Canada and packed with good stuff to keep them going on those epic rides. These are also a perfect stocking stuffer for the rider in your life.
DJI Osmo Action 5
Giving GoPro a run for the money, the Osmo Action 5 is on par with the latest GoPro. Get two videographers in a room and it would be a serious nerd-off to decide which one is better. The stabilization on the Osmo is incredible, but in our mind it’s the magnetic attachment system that makes it so easy to use. Mount it either horizontally or vertically in seconds. Combine it with the intuitive and easy-to-use Lightcut editing app and you’re on your way to being the next Rémy Métailler.
Gloworm XSV Lightset
With the dark days of winter not yet over, every rider wants a good set of bike lights (or two set). The Gloworm XSV lightset will get any rider stoked. 3600 lumen light up the trail like nothing else, ensuring you can shred year round and 24-7. With two hours of battery time at full power this is a gift that will keep on giving. Includes helmet or handlebar mounting hardware.
Trek Adventure Boss Full Frame Bag
Whether the rider on your list is into bikepacking yet doesn’t matter; because they will be into it soon enough. Everyone’s doing it. Frame bags are a great way to pack gear onto your bike without making it feel like a cumbersome fat bike. This Trek Adventure Boss bag comes in four different sizes so there should be one to fit your rider’s bike.
Bike books for inspiration
Whether they want to laugh, learn or dream about epic rides, these books hit the mark.
Fat Tire Flyer: Repack and the Birth of Mountain Biking
Who’s more qualified to write a book about the early days of mountain biking than Charlie Kelly? Not really anyone. This book is full of photos, drawings and memorabilia from the very first mountain bike races and the beginning of the sport we all love. And whether your giftee is a hardcore DH rider, a conservative weight weinee, or a punk rock dirt jumper, they’ll appreciate the beauty of this book and the history within it. Vintage bikes are cool no matter what.
