Get Wet Weather Ready With These Autumn-Winter Must-Haves

With dark nights drawing in, wet weather forecast, and plummeting mercury, we're sadly waving goodbye to the dry tracks of an incredible summer. Seasoned riders, however, know there’s no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong kit. 

Here’s our top picks to get you ready for autumn-winter riding, and ensure you're not left out in the cold this season. For the ultimate Big Bear Bikes experience, head to our friendly store in Pickering, North Yorkshire to check out our full range of clothing and accessories.


Light your way

We're really excited to stock the Exposure light range, with the Diablo, MaXx-D, and Zenith available to choose from. 

You'll never be left in the dark with the Exposure MaXx-D Mk14, available in Gun Metal Black. This powerful front bike light has a maximum output of 4400 lumens. That's more than a car headlight. Its light output shifts with changes to speed and terrain, and it's also waterproof, meaning you'll shine bright whatever the outlook.


Keep Dry

After an unbelievable summer of fun in the sun, we're now battening down the hatches for a drizzly autumn. Keep yourself dry and comfortable out on the trails with a new jacket from our wide selection of outdoor clothing. 

The Endura MT500 Waterproof jacket is a true industry classic. Light, breathable, and boasting a range of impressive features, including its distinctive 3D adjustable hood, it's the perfect outerwear for autumn rides.


Stay Warm

To keep toasty while out on those wintry rides, you really need to start with the basics. A good base layer will provide warmth and prevent friction between skin and your outer layers.

We recommend the Castelli Flanders Warm Long Sleeve Base Layer - Castelli's warmest ever base layer which offers excellent breathability and stretch, meaning it sits perfectly under any winter jacket. 


Protect your hands

Cold weather can be extremely rough on the hands. Rain, wind, and cold can really take their toll. Make sure you protect your hands this winter with a pair of protective gloves. 

The Endura MT500 Freezing Point Waterproof Glove can really provide a helping hand this winter; waterproof, strong grip, and woven with Primaloft® Gold Insulation for unparalleled warmth.


Scrub up

With the wetter weather turning many tracks into mud baths, investing in high-quality cleaning products and lubricants is essential to keeping your bike shiny, smooth, and in great condition.

Get your drivetrain squeaky-clean with Muc-Off Drivetrain Cleaner 500ml. This complete cleaning solution can be applied directly to the bike, or poured into a chain cleaning device. Guaranteed shine!
