Whether they’re a weekend warrior, a daily commuter, a gravel adventurer, or a newcomer about to embark on their first Trek Travel trip, Trek has the latest and greatest cycling gear and practical gifts to keep them safe and moving outdoors. From high-tech gadgets to stylish apparel, we talked to our team of travelers and cyclists to pull together a guide to the best gifts for cyclists.
Performance and Safety Essentials
Bontrager WaveCel Road Helmet
A helmet is one of the most important pieces of gear a cyclist can own, and the Bontrager WaveCel Road Helmets are a top-tier option. They feature WaveCel technology, an advanced safety system that absorbs rotational and direct impacts much more effectively than traditional foam helmets. With an aerodynamic design and exceptional comfort, it’s the perfect gift for road cyclists who prioritize safety and performance
Bontrager Ion Pro RT & Flare RT Light Set
Be safe, be seen – that’s how it works with cycling on the road. Trek’s Bontrager Ion Pro RT & Flare RT Light Set ensures visibility day and night. With powerful illumination and long battery life, these lights are essential for road cyclists or commuters.
Radar Rear Bike Lights
Safety meets innovation with the new Radar Rear Bike Lights. These smart lights don’t just illuminate the rider—they detect vehicles approaching from behind and provide real-time alerts, ensuring safer rides on busy roads. With a powerful rear light for visibility and seamless integration with cycling computers, these are one of the most practical gifts for cyclists this season. Whether commuting or training, these high-tech safety devices helps riders stay aware and protected on every journey.
Every Ride Essentials
Handlebar Bags
For the cyclist who loves both function and flair, handlebar bags are fun and unique cycling gifts. Choose from sleek, subtle designs or eye-catching, playful patterns from brands such as Electra or Topo Designs. These bags add personality to any ride while keeping essentials like snacks, keys, and a phone easily accessible. Featuring Velcro attachments for quick installation and reflective details for added safety, they’re a great option for commuters, casual riders, and adventure seekers alike.
Cycling Shorts and Bibs
Every cyclist needs a reliable pair of padded shorts. They are a game-changing gift for new cyclists or anyone looking to upgrade their cycling gear. Cycling and Bib Shorts bring comfort and performance to every ride, with a dual-density chamois for extra cushioning, moisture-wicking fabric to keep you dry, and a sleek, supportive fit.
Must-Have Tools & Accessories
Trek Elite BITS Multi-Tool
A compact toolset can feel like a quiet kind of insurance on any ride—the thing you hope you won’t need but are grateful to have when the trail or the road throws something unexpected your way. The Elite BITS multi-tool tucks neatly into the steerer tube of compatible bikes, or in your bike bag. Inside is everything required for quick, road-side repairs or adjustments with hex keys, a chain tool, and a T25 Torx wrench.
Bontrager Pro Flat Pack
No one wants to deal with a flat tire mid-ride, but being prepared makes all the difference. The Bontrager Pro Flat Pack includes a durable seat pack, a CO₂ inflator, tire levers, and a spare inner tube—everything needed to fix a puncture on the go.
Trek Air Rush Electric Pump
The new Trek Air Rush Electric Pump is compact, lightweight, and fits neatly in your bike bag or pocket. Forget about the manual floor pump buried somewhere in the garage. This electric pump with its built-in rechargeable battery makes topping off your tires easy. It’s simple to store, easy to use, and keeps you rolling without hassle.
