1. Fidlock VACUUM Phone Mount

  • Price: $34.99 steerer mount, $34.99 phone case
  • Buy from Fidlock

The Fidlock VACUUM Phone Mount pairs the brand’s magnet tech with a vacuum mount for an incredibly sturdy connection to your handlebars. A hidden release collar ensures the phone only comes off when you want it to, and the clocking system allows you to rotate the phone into the perfect position. We found the connection is so strong you can almost lift the front end of a mountain bike off the ground with it!

Choose from a stem or bar mount to use on your gravel and mountain bikes. Fidlock offers cases to fit multiple iPhone and Samsung smartphones, or you can choose a universal patch to attach to an existing phone case.

2. Fenix BC26R Headlight + Rear Bike Light Gift Pack

The Fenix BC26R is a compact bike light that works great for gravel biking so you can see — or be seen — on the road and on the trail. The included handlebar mount takes up very little bar space which is a plus for drop bars, and you can pick up a helmet mount to use it for mountain biking too. Gift pack includes a rear red tail light.

3. Velocio Zero Alpha Vest

The fitted and packable Velocio Zero Alpha vest features a warm and cozy Alpha material on the front to block cold wind with a high collar that does the same. Three open pockets on the rear offer convenient and accessible storage. Available for men and women in eight sizes.

A black Redshift Shockstop stem is shown alongside a black mount and six colorful rubber spacers labeled with different sizes (50, 60, 70, 80, 90) laid out on a wooden work surface.

4. Redshift Shockstop Stem

Gravel riding can be rough, especially if you ride fast on chunky roads. The Redshift Shockstop stem is a simple upgrade that’s designed to take some of the sting out and reduce vibration which can help improve control and reduce fatigue.

5. Fun Handlebar Tape

Spice up your gravel bike cockpit and improve your grip at the same time with a fresh roll of fun bar tape. Our favorites: Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Star Fade (top left and bottom right), PNW Coast bar tape (center), PDW Wraps (bottom left), and Cinelli Velvet Ribbon Mike Giant (top right).

6. Five Ten Kestrel BOA

  • Price: $230 $173 AdiClub member sale price
  • Buy from Adidas

The Five Ten Kestrel BOA is a great choice for gravel riding thanks to a comfortable fit, stiff sole, and secure top ratchet strap. Molded spikes on the toe and heel dig into loose surfaces off the bike while the vented uppers keep feet cool on hot days. Not only that, the Five Ten Kestrel BOA shoes can pull double duty for both gravel and mountain bike rides.

8. Velocio Thermal Bib Tights for Men and Women

The Velocio Thermal Bib Tights are insulated for cold days on the bike and feature a DWR coating to fend off any mist or light rain you might encounter. With a quality chamois liner and bib straps to ensure everything stays in place, these are among the most comfortable we’ve tested. Men’s and women’s versions are available in eight sizes.

A pair of black Rapha merino wool arm warmers laid on a weathered tree trunk, with the "Rapha" logo and "Finest Merino" label visible. The background features softly blurred greenery, suggesting an outdoor setting.

9. Rapha Merino Arm Warmers

Gravel biking is all about riding lean and mean, so we’ll avoid carrying around an extra layer whenever possible. The Rapha Merino Arm Warmers take up very little room in a jersey pocket or handlebar bag and turn any short-sleeve jersey into a long-sleeve for cool morning starts and windy descents. We love how soft and warm these feel!

10. Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 GPS

  • Price: $279.99
  • Buy from Amazon

The Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 GPS is one of our top choices for gravel biking thanks to its high-contrast / low-glare screen and compact, lightweight form factor. A series of LEDs along the top bezel alerts you to upcoming turns and the buttons make the GPS easy to operate with gloved hands.

11. Topo Designs Bike Bag

The Topo Design Bike Bag is just the right size to fit most drop bars and it holds more than enough gear for an all-day ride. The sturdy nylon handlebar bag features webbing across the front to attach a light or strap on an extra layer, and it’s available in five fun color combinations!

12. Fox 32 TC Factory Gravel Suspension Fork

The longer you’re riding the more those bumps and vibrations add up, so let this 1,226g, Kashima-coated and gravel-tuned suspension fork take some of the beating. The Fox 32 TC fork comes in 40mm and 50mm travel options.

Spandex bike shorts are too uptight for gravel, and baggy shorts designed to fit with knee pads are too baggy. The Ornot Lightweight Mission Shorts are designed specifically for gravel biking with a relaxed and stretchy fit for maximum comfort on the bike.

15. Silca Gravelero Mini Pump

The Silca Gravelero mini bicycle pump is designed for gravel tires, and we found it works well for larger-volume mountain bike tires too. It’s one of our favorites to use and includes a mounting bracket that proved rattle-free through rough terrain.
