Festive Picks 2023
In case you hadn't noticed, Christmas is fast approaching so it's time for us to again offer up some great gift ideas for the cyclist in your life. Once again, we have asked our team to pick something they'd love to find under the tree this year and we'll be sharing everyone's chosen items over the coming days.
You'll find these and many more great gift for cyclists in store. We love bikes and we love pressies and the best thing of all is bike related presents, so as you can imagine, we spend a good deal of time thinking about the best cycling stuff. So if none of our Festive Pick quite fit the bill then do drop us an email or call by the shop as we've plenty more gift ideas where these came from.
...and failing that there's still the most versatile gift of all, the Summit Cycles Gift Voucher. Our vouchers can be any value, have no expiry date and can be used to purchase anything we sell or against any of the services we offer. Just ask in store.
And don't forget you can also browse our website for more great gifts, all available to click and collect.
Nadolig LLawen i chi i gyd!
We begin our festive picks this year with the choice of Charlie, one of our workshop team. Charlie has picked Burgtec's 'The Bartender' Pro Greg Minnaar Signature Grip.
These great looking grips feature a 30A durometer compound for grip and comfort with a ridged pattern that offers rock solid grip even when conditions get wet and nasty. The soft rubber outer grip combine with a tapered core and the security of a 7075 Alu collar with a steel bolt to lock the grip firmly in place.
These are available in a wide range of colours to perfectly complement the bike of that someone special who rides. Guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of any mountain biker who finds them under the tree this year.
In store in a wide range of colours, priced from £22 and also now available in a super soft & tacky compound version for the ultimate grip and some extra relief from vibration on those long DH runs.
James, another member of our workshop team has chosen the FMF goggles as his pick for Christmas 2023.
FMF – PowerCore Goggles £25
Goggles are a bike park winter must have and this set from FMF offer superb value. Make sure your eyes stay protected out on the trail. Anti-fog coated polycarbonate and 40mm wide straps with secure silicone grippers to keep everything in place.
Our staff pick today comes from our workshop manager Nathan who has chosen something that adds comfort and warmth on those colder days. Warmers are great as they extend the use of garments you already have, making your cycling wardrobe even more versatile. And with our very changeable weather, on one ride you'll often be alternating between too cold and too warm so here is an item that allows you to quickly adapt to your current riding needs.
FS260 Thermo Arm Warmers £30
Thermo Roubaix fabric for warmth with silicone grippers to keep the warmers in place and comfortable.

Gaz needs no introduction as he's probably sold you a cycling thing or two over the years. So what does the ultimate sales guy pick as the ultimate present?
This year he has chosen the Bontrager Charger floor pump at just £33. Sure, a floor pump might not have the glitz or glamour of some swanky anodised stem cap or gazillion feature multi-tool but this is £33 that's going to get you out the door and riding fast and with little fuss and Gaz knows this. If you don't own a floor pump yet, it might be time to give yourself a little Christmas treat (or nudge someone else in the right direction).
A good floor pump is money well spent and the Charger is a great value floor pump. This pump will make light work of tyre inflation at home. It's auto-select valve will easily inflates both Schrader and Presta valve types and there is a large and easy to read pressure gauge for accurate pressure setting.
Shop manager Jim has a great pick this year. He has chosen something he can testify is a great product as he depends on it for his daily commute.
The Bontrager Ion Elite R – 1000 lumen rechargeable front light. The Ion Elite offers long burn times and is a very reliable and powerful rechargeable light with beam focus exactly where its most needed to get the best road or trail definition in low light or darkness. A range of features including daylight running modes that are perfect for maintaining maximum visibility through our grey winter days.
The Ion Elite is compact, water proof and tough and can be mounted to bars or helmet (with optional helmet mount) and comes backed by Bontrager's solid warranty.
Jim trusts the Ion Elite to keep him safe and visibility on his way to work and it's never let him down.
Ion Elite R 1000 lumen front bike light - £90
Frosty fingers can make riding a little unpleasant, so a good pair of winter gloves is an essential way to make sure your winter rides are enjoyable. For his staff pick this Christmas, Joe has selected a pair that have been a firm favourite with many of our staff for years, the Endura Strike.
Endura Strike Winter Glove £46
Not only does the strike have some great details like gel palm pads, Terry sweat wipe and Velcro cuff (to make getting on and off so much easier) but the Strike also has a fully waterproof membrane to keep your hands dry and warm through the worst of the winter weather.
