For those of us who once printed out directions and taped them a motorcycle gas tanks, we know a great nav system is like night and day as far as getting somewhere. The zūmo XT2 stands out from all the others I’ve ever tested, offering a sizeable 6”, ultrabright display giving riders a noticeably bigger and brighter screen than the previous model.

Designed to withstand extreme weather and rough terrain, it’s built to an IPX7 water-resistance rating and is equipped to operate with handlebar vibration, unlike, say, your phone.

GeForce RTX 40 Gaming Laptop (Black Friday Deal, $1,099.99, 21% off)

The Strix G16 is your key to on-the-road gaming dominance, powered by Windows 11, a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU running at 140W Max TGP.

If that sentence scrambles your brain, let’s just say it’s got a lot of power and memory. With 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz memory and a blazing-fast 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD, you can multitask effortlessly and load games in a flash. Advanced cooling features like Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal and a third intake fan ensure the laptop stays cool, even during marathon gaming sessions.

SIDEKICK Folding Lock $79 (But 50% off until Dec. 1)

While no lock can prevent someone who really wants your bicycle from taking it, the versatile, extra tough SIDEKICK Folding Lock offers superior security thanks to its 5mm-thick, hardened-steel links in a lightweight, portable design. The virtually limitless shape options of the link design work especially well with the huge variety of e-bike frame designs, but it’s equally suitable for locking any bike. It can also mount to the bike itself – or you can carry it in your backpack because it folds up nice and small.

Arai Corsair-X Dani Samurai-2 Helmet $869.95

It’s the hot helmet this season, and with good reason – it’s got a cool samurai design and it meets high safety standards. It’s made with tough materials with a multi-layer construction as well as a good-looking VAS shield mechanism. There’s super-soft foam inside, and vents let the wind in on boiling days.

Your inside lining can be removed, washed, dried and replaced easily. The visor blocks UV rays. Finally, your logo will never clash with your bike – Arai doesn’t make motorcycles. There’s nothing not to love.

Nubia’s not as well-known a name as other phonemakers but they make solid, attractive phones that can take road hard use. This nubia Z70 Ultra, their new flagship, comes with a 6.85-inch screen featuring a sharp 1.5K resolution, 430 PPI, and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II$249.00

These earbuds provide 6 hours of listening time, they’ve been modified to be more discreet than last year’s model, and their sound is Bose-excellent. They’ll cancel noise, too and when they’re in their case, will take the predictable beating when they’re traveling from your backpack to your briefcase to the gym and to the road.

Small Axe Pepper’s Ultimate Hot Sauce Gift Set $50

If you’re a hot sauce aficionado, you always leave for a road trip with a bottle of your favorite fiery topping. The Small Axe Peppers’ Ultimate Hot Sauce Gift Set includes two customizable hot sauces of your choice, a punk rock-themed Small Axe Peppers T-Shirt and a packet of seeds to grow your very own spicy peppers in a community garden. Each bottle purchased directly supports the gardens and gardeners who grow peppers for these hot sauces.

The company’s peppers are purchased directly from community gardens and urban farms across the United States. Last year, they bought over 11,000 pounds of peppers from 52 community gardens in 35 states across America.

Not only is Everybody.World’s comfy cozy Trash Zip Up a great and stylish find, you can also be sure you’re buying a product from a company dedicated to sustainability.

This high-quality hoodie features an oversized boxy fit with metal zip hardware and cotton drawcord. It’s also knit, sewn and finished in Los Angeles, California with a fair-wage workforce.

xSuit 5.0 $599 (Black Friday up to 50% off)

There are actual videos of guys wearing the suit while another guy pours a glass of coffee over him/it and it won’t mess it up – just put it in the machine. Hugo Boss? No. A nice-looking, nice fitting suit when you need one? Here it is.
