Chances are there’s at least one cyclist on your shopping list who constantly likes to flirt with the edge of safety, going just a little bit bigger, exploring a little further away, testing the limits a little harder – and maybe crashing more often than they’d like in the process. If this all sounds familiar, here are a few gift ideas to make next season their best (and possibly safest) ever.
Leatt DBX 4.5 neck brace
The DBX 4.5 doesn’t offer quite the same variety of adjustments as Leatt’s top-end 6.5 model but it provides the same level of neck and spine protection at a much more reasonable price. The adjustments that remain are more than enough to get the 4.5 tuned just right while still allowing for a generous range of motion, and recent improvements have made it easier to clean, too.

Bell Super 2R MIPS helmet
It’s always nice to have full-face protection when flying downhill on a trail but not always on the way back up. The Bell Super 2R MIPS is two helmets in one, offering the excellent ventilation, low weight, goggle-friendly shape, and potentially brain-saving MIPS liner as a high-end conventional trail helmet but with a removable chin guard for added safety when needed. The chin guard is astoundingly easy to attach and remove – even without removing the helmet – and adds minimal weight in the process, too.
Dedicated gravity riders will still want a proper full-face but for everyone else, some level of face protection will always be better than a trip to the dentist. And if you act quickly, you can also satisfy someone’s inner Star Wars habit with one of limited-edition themed versions.
