Investing in a set of the best gravel bike pedals can make a world of difference to your riding, improving power transfer and impacting the overall feel of your gravel bike.
The gravel market has grown considerably in recent years and we now have dedicated gravel shoes, tyres and even handlebars. But the best gravel bike pedals are by and large mountain bike pedals.
There are two main reasons for this. Mountain bike pedals are good at shedding dirt, so won’t struggle to clip in on a muddy ride. They also make walking easier because the small, two-bolt cleats can be recessed into the soles of your shoes.

A cycling gilet or vest can add warmth on changeable days and keep you warm if you want less bulk on the bike
A cycling gilet, or a vest if you are in the US, can provide a really useful addition to your cycling wardrobe. The lightweight, sleeveless design of a gilet means that it can be packed down small for jersey pocket storage and pulled on and off multiple times on a ride to keep the wind at bay or just keep you that little bit warmer. Heavier weight gilets can also do an excellent job of keeping your core warm and comfortable but allowing you to wear less and stay a little more aero, less restricted and faster feeling on the bike.
