HE 50 BEST BICYCLING PRODUCTS YOU CAN GET RIGHT NOW.
Each year, the Bicycling test team puts together our list of the best Gear of the Year. This product has been ridden and raced by our editors and staff on trails and roads all over the country, and sometimes all over the world. No matter the type of riding you do, there is something for you on this list.
From commuting on busy city streets, to grinding out miles on gravel roads, to descending miles of singletrack, the items the test team selected for Bicycling’s Gear of the Year represent the 40 best products we rode and used for riding over the past 12 months. And we included 10 additional personal picks from Bicycling’s test team for their favorite cycling gear they can’t live without.
Bicycling’s test team and contributors ride A LOT of stuff in a year. These are our picks for bicycle parts and components that stand out from the crowd in performance, quality, innovation, or just because they improved our rides.
