7. Assos MILLE GTC C2 Jersey

8. Assos MILLE GTC KIESPANZER C2 Bib Short
Pockets, pockets, and more pockets! The KIESPANZER has two leg and two big ole rear ones to hold all the gravel snacks. And it’s loaded with premium Assos fabrics for comfort and performance wherever the ride heads.
9. Sportful Supergiara Bib Short
Sportful hits the gravel sweet spot with the Supergiara. Compression is tight but not constrictive, and the gravel-specific chamois delivers the in-the-saddle support needed when crunching out long days off-road.
10. Rapha Trail Merino Short-Sleeve T-Shirt
Merino is a rider’s all-season fabric of choice. It cools in the summer and warms in the winter, and this jersey feels great on its own or tucked in for the ride under a winter shell.
11. Giro LA DND Gel Glove
The LA DND is ready to get dirty with its hard-wearing design. That’s not to say you’ll need them on the double-track, but it’s nice to know that skin won’t take the brunt of it in a fall.

SRAM’s gravel-specific wireless derailleur matches perfectly with their XPLR cassette to deliver swift and precise shifting into the cogs that matter most off-road.
16. Specialized Power Comp MIMIC Saddle
This women’s-specific saddle often winds up being a favorite for male riders, too. The multi-density design supports the soft tissues that are most vulnerable in the saddle while still providing stiffness to pedal big watts all day long.
17. Selle Italia SLR Boost Gravel Superflow Saddle
A short nose for maneuverability and a massive center channel to relieve seated pressure make this saddle a premium choice for long-distance off-road. Plus, the titanium rails let you worry less about damaging precious carbon rails.
18. Zipp 101 XPLR 650b Carbon Wheel – Tubeless
Zipp’s XPLR wheelset completes the gravel-groupset lineup from SRAM’s and Zipp’s collaboration. Extremely durable, lightweight, and well-balanced, the 101 XLPR 650b is the ideal choice for nimble riding in rough gravel terrain (and an ideal gift, too).
19. Shimano GRX WH-RX870 Carbon Gravel Wheelset - Tubeless
Gift the effortless ride of the Shimano wheelset which features a shallow dish for fast accelerations, 24 spokes for off-road durability, and room to fit up to 50mm tires. All this at a price that about half other premium options.
20. ENVE Gravel Handlebar
ENVE’s gravel bar may just be the ultimate off-road frontend. Ergonomic, flattop design, and massively flared drops provide comfort for long days on punishing gravel sections and the room to clear wide handlebar bags.
21. Garmin Rally XC Dual-Sided Power Meter Pedals
On gravel, riders may change chainrings often to ride various routes, which makes the pedal power system the obvious choice for reducing compatibility issues between spiders and chainrings.
22. Shimano XT PD-M8100 Pedals
This is the pedal most riders choose when setting up their gravel rig. It represents the sweet spot of budget, performance, durability, and reliability. Wrap up this perfect pair.
23. Specialized Pathfinder 2Bliss Tire
Responsible for several wins at gravel’s competitive level, there’s no doubting the Pathfinder is an excellent tire. The fast center tread, side edges, and durable, puncture-resistant design are key to its success.
24. Pirelli Cinturato Gravel M Tubeless Tire
Easy to mount and a blast to ride in basically every condition, it’s hard to go wrong with Pirelli’s Cinturato lineup. In 650b or 700c, they bring your gravel rides to life. Consider the M up front and the H version out back for extra fun.
25. Ergon BT Gravel Bar Tape
For thick tape to calm off-road chatter, Ergon has it covered with 3.5mm of plushy goodness in the BT gravel bar tape. It definitely takes the sting out of jarring gravel sections.
26. PRO Gravel Comfort Tape
PRO’s gravel tape comes in 3mm thickness for comfort on rough surfaces, and the spool is generously long. So, if they want to thicken up with a tighter wrap, there is enough to do so.
27. USWE Outlander Pro Hydration Backpack

30. Ravemen LS03 Light Set
They’ll be seen with this front/rear light combo that attaches easily to the bike.
31. Ortlieb Frame Pack
Available in 4L and 6L options, this weatherproof pack handles the off-road journey with ease.
32. Ortlieb Toptube Frame Pack
For long-distance gravel adventures, this toptube pack is essential. Load the gear for the groad into a weatherproof, stable design that fits most bike frames.
33. Orucase Smuggler Handlebar Bag

34. Lezyne Flow SL Cage
Right-handed? Left-handed? The Flow SL cage works with both. Choose which version works best for you. The side-open design also plays well with slim toptube frame bags for non-cramped bottle access.
