Holiday Gift Guide | For the Mountain Biker and Adventure Cyclist

By Brett Ratner and Yasmeen Schuller

We don’t know about you, but we’ve spent many a workday daydreaming about shredding trails in faraway places, or exploring the country for weeks on end, pedaling a bike loaded to the gills with camping gear.

Unfortunately, reality dictates that the trails are usually local, and the bike adventures are generally limited to weekend trips. But we can still dream, right?

But when those opportunities do finally come, you definitely want the right gear. In our experience, the beauty of good gear is that it disappears when you’re riding hard. In other words, it does its job so well, you don’t really notice it…allowing you to focus entirely on shredding, exploring, or (in the case of bikepacking) shredding AND exploring.

So, wrapping up our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide series is our Gift Guide for the Mountain Biker and Adventure Cyclist. Why pair these two? In many instances, gear that works well for one works well for the other. And with the increasing popularity of the aforementioned bikepacking, more and more people are doing both simultaneously. Anyway, here are our picks. We hope you like them!
