As a mountain biker, navigating through gear options can be a bit like finding a spoke nipple in a haystack. Fear not—we've got your back!

We worked with our brand partners to put together this curated list of great holiday gift ideas, with options for every budget.

And, hey, we get that often the most thoughtful gifts aren't things you can wrap up. That's why we're throwing in a suggestion to donate to your local trail organization on behalf of your special someone. Having the latest and greatest gear is sweet, but let's not forget that the real magic happens when we make sure our local trails are accessible, advocated for, and are running as smoothly as Santa’s sleigh.
