MTB GIFT GUIDE
Finding the right gift for a mountain biker isn’t always easy – riders are a picky bunch.
That’s why we’ve put together a selection of mountain biking gifts made by Misspent Summers (that’s us) that we are sure any rider will love.
On this page, you will find some suggestions of gifts for every type of mountain biker and various budget levels.
What gifts do mountain bikers want?
You’ll find a wide selection of books, photo and art prints, clothing and other products on our store. Here are a few pointers if you are trying to decide what your favourite mountain biker might like as a Misspent Summers gift.
MUGS
Whether they’re a die-hard rider or just getting into the sport, our mugs make the perfect everyday, wallet-friendly gift. Every rider will understand the sentiment behind our ‘Hero Dirt’ design; geeks will laugh at any of the MTB component personality mugs.
WALL ART
We proudly work with mountain biking’s best photographers and artists. Browse our print store to find a high-quality print that will inspire your favourite rider every day as they look at it on their wall. Prints are our fastest delivery product for orders outside the UK, as we work with a global partner who prints and delivers directly in the US, Canada, EU, Mexico. When you order a mountain bike photo or art print from us, it goes straight into production at the nearest facility to you, and then is packaged and sent out promptly.
RACING YEARBOOKS
Our downhill and enduro annuals are ideal for anyone who lives for the thrill of speed. Hurly Burly covers the downhill World Cup season in detail, including hundreds of amazing photos. The World Stage covers the enduro World Cup season, with all the stories, results and incredible photos. Our catalogue goes all the way back to 2016 – these are the history books of mountain biking and every serious fan loves them.
CLOTHING
We have some fun and bold designs that will suit every mountain biker. ‘Always make time for your loved ones’ (image: person hugging their bike) is one of our favourite mountain biker presents. All our clothes are made from organic or recycled fibres, are a comfortable fit (not too baggy, not too tight), and are printed in the UK.
Other books:
For the rider who’s forever fine-tuning their setup and geeking out over the latest tech (to be honest, this could apply to nearly every mountain biker), the SRAM Eagle Transmission book that we made and that covers the story of a product going from concept to production is a must-have addition to their workbench.
