13 holiday gifts for the motorcycle rider in your life

1. Yeti Sidekick^® dry gear case

No matter how often a rider checks the weather, unexpected rain can add complications to a long ride. This small dry-gear case will give your favorite motorcycle rider one less thing to worry about, knowing their valuables are safe and dry so they can continue riding. Plus, it’s easy to detach, so they can keep everything they need with them on and off their bike.

2. Handlebar cupholder

We all need to stay hydrated, but when someone is on a long ride or where water isn’t easily and safely accessible, it can be tough. Handlebar cupholders make it much easier for riders to grab a sip of water when they’re stopped at a light or making a quick pit stop. There are many different options at a range of price points, making this a great gift option if you’re on a budget.

3. Action cameras and handlebar mounts

If the motorcycle rider in your life takes the scenic route and likes to capture their experiences on video, then an action camera might be the perfect gift. GoPro is a popular option, but there are plenty of other brands on the market that offer great action cameras and handlebar mounts.

4. Kryptonite^® disc lock

Whether for travel or a daily commute, every rider should be able to secure their bike when they aren’t riding. Unfortunately, motorcycle theft is common, so if you know your favorite rider doesn’t have a lock, get them a lock like this to help them protect their pride and joy.

5. Motorcycle gloves

Motorcycle gloves take a beating—wind, rain, sun, and road grime can wear them down quickly. A fresh pair is almost always a welcome upgrade. There are plenty of types of motorcycle gloves to consider as you shop, including short cuff, gauntlet, summer gloves, and waterproof.

6. Motorcycle jacket

Every motorcycle rider needs a good jacket. Not only do quality jackets protect the rider from the sun and rain, most also include padding designed to increase support during rides. If you’re comfortable spending a bit more money on a gift, this could be the way to go.

7. Waterproof motorcycle cover

This is a particularly thoughtful—and practical—gift for the rider who stores their motorcycle outside, especially in rainy or snowy climates.

8. Motorcycle toolkit

It’s never a bad time for a new toolkit—especially for riders who seemingly spend every waking hour in the garage, wrenching on their bikes. A toolkit can help your rider ensure their motorcycle is always ready for the next adventure.

9. Motorcycle GPS

If the rider in your life likes to travel a lot or perhaps is known to be a bit directionally challenged, then a motorcycle GPS can help them stay on course—especially when they’re exploring unfamiliar routes. A motorcycle GPS can attach directly to their bike and keep them heading in the right direction.

10. Tile^™ GPS tracker 

Is there anything more frustrating than misplacing your keys just as you’re about to head out the door? If your rider is prone to misplacing things, make sure they can always keep track of their keys with this easy GPS tracker.

11. Handwarmers

Handwarmers may seem a little basic. But trust us—on a chilly, windy ride, your motorcycle rider will be thankful they have a pack of these handy.

12. Warm socks

As long as your rider has outgrown that childhood annoyance over receiving socks for the holidays, they’ll absolutely appreciate a pair of warm, waterproof socks. Nothing is more uncomfortable on a long ride than wet or cold feet, so this is a great gift option.

13. Motorcycle bottle opener

Looking for a fun motorcycle accessory for your home? Check out this motorcycle bottle opener—the perfect addition to any motorcycle enthusiast’s home bar.

This holiday season, your favorite motorcycle rider will be thrilled to receive any of these gifts. With thoughtful gear and a few well-chosen accessories, you might just inspire their next ride.
