Are you ready to dive into the wild world of mountain biking? Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the dirt, having the right accessories for mountain biking can make all the difference. 

Here at Norm’s Ski and Bike, we’re all about helping you gear up to hit the bike trails of the Monadnock Region. So, let’s talk about some essential accessories that you will need.

Helmet

A properly fitted helmet is your most crucial mountain biking accessory and safety equipment. Experts say a high-quality helmet can reduce head injuries by 39% and facial trauma by 28%. Helmets come in various sizes, so getting one that fits your head is important. 

Repair Kit

Your essential repair kit should contain the tools to keep you rolling smoothly on the trails. Ensure you have a multi-tool with a screwdriver and hex key heads, a high-pressure air pump, spare tubes, tire patches or sealant, and tire pry rods.

Eye protection

When riding trails, investing in protective mountain biking glasses is crucial to shield your eyes from debris and dust kicked up by other riders. These glasses combine the features of sunglasses and goggles, offering impact protection and a snug fit with your helmet.

Clothing

When mountain biking, wear breathable and flexible clothing made from durable materials. Look for shorts with zipper pockets and a secure fastening system. Choose a jersey that offers breathability, room for protective padding, and suits the climate. Layering is essential for regulating body temperature as exertion levels change.

Shoes and Pedals

Investing in high-quality mountain shoes enhances power transfer, while clip-in pedals maximize power output, and flat pedals provide a sturdy platform. Consider your riding style and ensure shoe-pedal compatibility for an optimal biking experience.
