Top 6 MTB Accessories
Helmet
Don’t just buy any helmet in the market. You need to think extremely in this area. Buy a helmet which you think could sustain in protecting your “skull” if in case you’ll get into a freak accident. Don’t settle for less on this one.

Hand Gloves
When it comes to level of priority, this is the least one among the 6 accessories. You can still ride your MTB safely when you are either on or off road without. But the comfort of hand gloves give you is a big factor for that smooth and chill rides.

Reflector Vest
In the Philippines where this author is from, we’ve seen so many accidents already that involves road or MTB cyclists. Aside from most of the cycle tracks that are being provided by the local/national government are below standard, 4-wheel road users don’t have that open mind and hearts yet for bikers who have significantly grown by the thousands since the pandemic started. Reflector vest is a must.
