Looking for the perfect gift for your favorite Road Cyclist? Ideas for your own wishlist? Or just wanna stuff your own stocking with a good deal? Since our Bikerumor Editor’s wish lists are focused on products we’ve tested and recommend, we turned to our friends at JensonUSA to provide a gift guide full of popular items and killer deals for every budget, from under $10 up to $100 and more.
UNDER $10
- Tubes are surprisingly expensive, so refilling stocks of quality road bike tubes not only saves your cyclist from getting stranded, but also saves a bit of coin while they’re on sale. The Duro road tube is available with 33mm, 48mm and 60mm valve stems. ($3.99)
- It seems like you either have too many, or you can’t find one when you need it. Camelbak Podium 21oz bottles are a great upgrade to those freebies from the races. Three colors available.($9.00)
- It might be a little late to put them out for Santa, but you can definitely set a few Skratch Labs cookies out for your own early morning ride on the 26th! ($8.50)
$10 to $25
- Giro’s Italian Merino wool in a cycling specific cut that thin enough for bike shoes makes a solid choice for keeping your favorite roadie’s dogs happy all year ’round. ($19.95)
- It’s not Merino, but the Giro Classic Cotton Cycling Cap will keep your head a little warmer in the spring and block the glare while the sun’s still low in the sky. ($19.95)
- You could spend a ton to shave grams, but the JensonUSA carbon bottle cage is just 30g for fewer dollars. ($24.99)
- Complete the accessory kit with the Giro D’wool Gloves, perfect for the shoulder seasons, and grippy thanks to a suede palm. Limited sizing remains. ($29.99)
$25 to $50
- Coming in a penny under budget, the Lezyne Micro Caddy saddle bag’s band stretches and straps on tight to keep everything securely in place. ($24.99)
- OK, one more from Giro. Might as well make it a (almost) complete kit with the Chrono Sport Jersey, which normal goes for $80. Race cut and mesh back panel. ($35.99)
- The Crank Brothers Klic CO2 Pump HP gives you a high pressure pump with the ease of a flexible hose, and it fits in your jersey pocket. ($36.99)
- Lizard Skins’ DSP bar tape is one of our favorites for its cushy thickness and all weather grip. And fresh bar tape is always welcome! Available in 17 different colors. ($41.99)
$50 to $100
- Maybe one of our most-wanted items from this list, the Castelli wool-blend long sleeve sweater is cut like a jersey, but made for after the ride. Or for the ride to the coffee shop or bar after the ride. Limited sizes remain, no wonder at this price. ($49.99)
- If your cyclists’ road shoes are wearing out, or they’re ready to step it up to the next level, the Scott Road Pro Shoes are a heck of a deal on this sale. ($59.99)
- If they’ve already stepped it up to pro level with tubulars, the Continental Gatorskin Tubular road tire will give them something to survive any surface. ($67.00)
- The 3T Ergosum alloy handlebar uses a shallow reach and drop with flattened tops to provide an ergonomic upgrade that’s just 283g. ($83.99)
OVER $100
- The Smith Overtake uses a different impact protection method than most, and it’s more breathable than it looks. Add in MIPS and you have a solid option for road riding that comes in 9 different color options…and is half off regular price. ($139.99)
- Maybe your roadie went down and snapped a lever. Or maybe they just need a kickstart to finally upgrade their steed to a modern drivetrain. Shimano Ultegra ST-6800 shifters are a good place to start, especially when they’re almost half off. ($183.99)
- Or maybe their pedals and cleats are just flat worn out…or they need a set for a second bike to speed up the transition from training days to race days. Ultegra is hard to beat, especially when it, too, is about half off. ($101.99)
- If their drivetrain and helmet are all in order, one of the best upgrades you can get your favorite roadie is a wider set of lightweight wheels that are tubeless ready and capable of fitting today’s modern, wide tires. They’ll feel better, ride faster and finish fresher. ($399.99)
