Part of my job as a tech editor is to wade through the marketing muck and mire to hopefully make some sense of the products and technologies that genuinely advance our sport.
While attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff, I found myself routinely coming back to the same products – items that accompanied me on every ride or that I wished I were riding while testing lesser products.
Here are 10 of them, all of which I'd thoroughly recommend investing in.

9point8 Fall Line dropper seatpost
There are a lot of truly unexceptional dropper seatposts on the market. Anyone familiar with my dropper seatpost rants knows how critical I am of this expensive piece of kit that’s not nearly as reliable as it should be at this stage in the game.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a properly functioning dropper seatpost and I absolutely hate riding without one, but out of the dozens on the market there are only two that I deem dependable enough to install on my personal bikes.
Shimano XT M8000 drivetrain
Giro Rivet II gloves
SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes
Blackburn 2’fer light
Santa Cruz 5010 version 2.0
Fox Float DPS EVOL shock
Trek Remedy 9.9 29
Bontrager SE5
Garmin Fenix 3
