Need ideas for what to give your favorite shredder this holiday season? Look no further. Our staff has done the leg work for you by picking out the things they'd like to see under their own trees or in their stockings this year. Here is part two of our annual gift guide!

Dean recently rode Shimano-MTB​ 's Deore XT 1x12 groupset on a 2020 Rocky Mountain​ Slayer and was impressed by how well it shifted under power, and he loved the brakes and the price point ($1,019 for the entire group). He also chose the ENVE Composites​ M7 carbon handlebar, which are super light and have a lifetime warranty. Dean's always been a big fan of ODI Grips​ and chose their Longneck lock-on grips for their comfortable compound and design. 

High on Sean's list this year are Kona's Wah Wah pedals because they have a large surface area, great grip, and good bearings. And they're nice and thin to help you avoid rock strikes. Sean also chose the Park Tool TW-5.2 Torque Wrench. If you're doing any mechanic work on your bike, this tool can save you from damaging parts because it takes the guesswork out of tightening bolts to the proper spec. Park's is sturdy and goes up to 14 Nm, which covers most bolts on a mountain bike.

Sean also likes the Ergon SM Comp saddle because it's super comfortable and is available in multiple sizes for men and women (we can help you find the proper width free of charge). It also comes with titanium rails for $89.95. Finally, 'tis the season for fenders, and Sean is digging the Mucky Nutz Fork Fenders. They're a great stocking stuffer and you can choose from several colors for just $14.

Ethan picked the Troy Lee Designs Air Gloves for their great fit and one piece palm construction. He also likes Peaty's Tubeless Valves because they have a unique look, large base, and a valve core remover top. Rounding out his selection, Ethan chose the Wolf Tooth seatpost clamp because it's strong, lightweight and comes in a variety of colors for a custom look. 

Topping Val's list is the Scott Contessa Ransom. Besides loving the color, she's also a fan of how well this bike climbs for having 170 millimeters of travel, thanks to Scott's TwinLoc suspension platform. She also chose the Patagonia Women's Long Sleeved Capilene Cool Trail Shirt, which is perfect for cool weather riding and looks good on and off the bike. And to replace her seven year old original G-Form knee pads, Val would like to try G-Form's new Pro-Rugged Knee Guards, which use an Armortex finish for added durability and have an adjustable velcro strap for a custom fit. 

John selected the Smith Forefront 2 helmet because it's the most comfortable full-coverage helmet he's ever worn. And it's lightweight and Smith's Aerocore technology helps keep the head cool. John also recommends the proprietary Smith helmet mount for using Lezyne's Lite Drive 1000 XL, which is lightweight and provides plenty of light up top. John also chose the Lezyne Macro Drive 1300 XXL mounted on the bars. Another item he loves is the Wolf Tooth Components Pack Pliers for chain repairs. The handle holds two master links and also works as a tire lever, lock nut tool and valve core remover. It comes in several colors and makes a great gift!
