I\u2019ll be totally honest, with the amount of kit that comes through our office and workshop doors each year, trying to pin down my favourite products from the last 12 months isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n

First off, there\u2019s so much good kit out there that choosing just four or five items feels nigh-on impossible.<\/p>\n

Secondly, maybe it\u2019s age, maybe I\u2019ve crashed too many times, I\u2019m not sure, but remembering everything I\u2019ve ridden in or tested has been a struggle.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had to trawl through 12 months of spreadsheets and flick through loads of copies of MBUK<\/a> to narrow down my list.<\/p>\n

It includes a real mix of kit, with everything from those spangly big-ticket items through to smaller, cheaper essentials that I\u2019d now struggle to live without.<\/p>\n

Anyway, without further ado (and before I change my mind again), here\u2019s my Gear of the Year<\/a> 2023 top picks.<\/p>\n
