Christmas is coming soon, so it is time for us to recommend some gifts for the cyclists in your life. If you really want to pay, here are some ideas that money has no object.

Some of the items here are ridiculously expensive-we know high-end bicycles and wheels that few people would consider. Even if they are not suitable for you, we hope you enjoy watching them.

At the top of our list, we also include components/clothing that are high-end in its specific category-for example, a £175 computer stand and a £300 jacket-but it is more realistic for many people

This means that we provide you with a series of practical items with outstanding performance-many of you may be on the shortlist-and some of the most unique bicycle products. 

We have divided our choices into: • High-end gifts • Bulk purchases • Superyacht Owners Club

Silca's Mensola computer stand is an overkill for most of us, but it has a unique appearance and is an ingenious way to complete an ultra-high-end bicycle.

It is 3D printed with 6Al/4V titanium, which makes it very strong, and it is also very light, even if it is not in the heavyweight sector.

The lattice frame is eye-catching, and the sandblasted finish gives a primitive and purposeful look and feel. This will be a great gift.

Rapha's Pro Team Winter Jacket is available in men's and women's styles, and its performance level is sufficient to support its high price. 

The jacket provides complete wind protection on the front half of the torso and arms, and the back half is made of more breathable and warm fabric.

All the fabrics used are quite heavy, with a plush and brushed feel inside, which can absorb a lot of warm air and give you a good start on cold days. The architecture is outstanding, and Rapha provides a rich style.

This is a dual-lens model with a rather subtle curve profile; the optical quality and overall performance are top-notch.

The "MAG" part of the name refers to the magnet system connecting the frame and the lens, which is very safe. It is also very simple, you can change the lens in a few seconds.

ChromaPop lenses enhance natural colors and provide clarity. It is first-rate, allowing just the right amount of light to pass through to leave obvious potential hazards such as ruts and potholes at the right speed. The second lens is a clear lens, useful when the sky turns slate gray and it rains.

The Chrome Barrage Freight Backpack is large, comfortable to carry, and fully functional. It's not cheap or light, but it's very good.

The main compartment is very large, with a "cargo net" in the front, which can accommodate larger kits. 

The entire bag has five pockets, including a pocket for larger items such as notepads or tablets, and a small pocket that is very useful for mobile phones, keys and wallets. There is also a laptop sleeve hidden there.

This bag is waterproof and has good ventilation on the back.

The Assos Mille GT winter jacket Evo is a great choice for all but the most painful days. It can keep out the wind and rain, let the excess body heat radiate... It all comes from a jacket that feels lighter and thinner than many sweatshirts.

Assos uses different technical materials for different panels: three-layer soft shell fabric on the front, more breathable fabric on the top of the arm and upper back, and lighter fleece fabric on the lower arm and back. All this is excellent and can cover most winter temperatures.

The low-hanging back, long sleeves and high collar provide adequate protection, and the quality is always high.

Giro’s high-end road helmet has been around for some time, but it is still a winner, offering excellent ventilation, comfort and MIPS Spherical technology.

MIPS (Multiple Impact Protection System) usually takes the shape of an inner liner-a layer of polycarbonate plastic between the head and expanded polystyrene (EPS). However, here, the MIPS Spherical technology is not added after the event, but is an integral part of the Aether design.

It has two layers of different multi-density EPS foam, which can move relative to each other. The advantage of this system is that the airflow will not be obstructed.

This is one of the most expensive road helmets, but it is a cork.

This high-end jacket-available in both men's and women's cuts-performs well in cold weather.

The exterior is made of Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper 150, which, as the name suggests, prevents cold air from blowing in. Its breathability and water resistance are much higher than you think. 

Open the front to see the inlays, which are attached to the sides of the jacket with a zipper in the middle. In fact, it's like fixing the front half of the vest there. The effect of this structure is very good, so that the rider can maintain comfort in various winter temperatures (even freezing and lower temperatures), and will not sweat too much when climbing.

Specialized has incorporated a lot of technology into its S-Works Ares shoes-a tongueless design with a sock-like foot wrap closure system. 

These shoes not only provide a safe grip, but also pay great attention to comfort. These are good options for intermittent or prolonged cycling.

The integrated "sock" lining makes wearing these shoes more difficult than usual, but because the upper wraps around the foot, you can get support throughout the pedal stroke.

The outer heel cup of the PadLock is sturdy and will not feel uncomfortably rigid, while pulling the cable from the two Boa Li2 dials at the same time ensures that the pressure is evenly distributed.

Garmin Fenix ​​6 Pro Solar is one of the most advanced smart sports watches. It provides a lot of features and military-grade sturdiness, and will do more than you think. 

Fenix ​​6 Pro Solar is not without its features, but it provides health tracking and long-day PC-free navigation. It is also compact, fast charging, and highly customizable.

We haven’t reviewed LoreOne shoes, or even tried a pair of shoes, but they are mentioned in our Money No Object list because they are very expensive and in fact you can’t afford anyone anymore. .

Keeping these surprises can be tricky because they are custom printed onto each rider's feet, which requires scanning. Then this will be a slight obstacle. Suppose you can somehow bypass LoreOne and promise that its shoes provide excellent fit and comfort, and also increase strength. Overshoes and travel bags are part of the package.

Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 45 disc brake wheels are lightweight, rigid, and fast; it is ideal for mixed road terrain. In addition, Campagnolo enjoys a high reputation. Who would be unhappy to receive these wheels as Christmas gifts?

These Ultra versions of Campagnolo's already outstanding WTO wheels weigh only 1,420 grams. With a thickness of 45 mm, they are very hard, give a fast riding feel, and are excellent when climbing hills. These are brilliant wheels.

The Princeton CarbonWorks Wake 6560 wheel set looks cool, but more importantly, it provides performance, handling... and everything else.

The depth of the wake mode varies from 60 mm to 65 mm and is designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency without being affected by crosswinds.

The weight of 1,540 grams is impressive for such deep wheels, and their climbing ability is good, so you can gain power during the ascent and gain aerodynamic advantages during the descent.

In terms of construction, Princeton University has several hub options to choose from. We used 24-hole Tune King (front) and Kong (rear) hubs, and they worked beautifully. They just keep spinning.

Despite being famous for its wheels, Enve offers road bikes built for custom geometric shapes. Riders can choose from 38 different paint colors from four paint design templates, all the way to wheel decals. Enve even has complete custom paint options.

Each Custom Road is equipped with an integral stem/stem, which can be matched with SRAM Red or Force AXS, Shimano Dura-Ace or Ultegra Di2. Oh, and there is also a Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 TSA road bike travel bag as part of the deal

Only the chassis (frame, front fork, handlebar/stem, seat top cover, handlebar strap, earphones, axles and hardware, suitcase) is priced at US$7,000 (approximately £5,080), while the complete SRAM Red eTap AXS A Premium build, for example, will set you back $12,500 (approximately GBP 9,080).

We all know that due to the disruption of the supply chain caused by Covid-19 and the increase in demand, there is currently a severe shortage of bicycles in stores. However, at the time of writing, if you are going to hunt, you can use Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon.

This is more like a gravel racing car than a bicycle packaging device. It is flexible, feels much lighter than it actually is, and the handling is absolutely correct when faced with some technical monorails.

Diverge is very versatile in carrying kits, and the clever Future Shock suspension system ensures comfort.

The Expert model is equipped with the SRAM Rival eTap AXS kit. Diverge Pro (£7,250) has a SRAM force groupset-a step up-but there are fewer kits in the store.

CHPT3-a clothing brand founded by former professional racer David Miller-has teamed up with British bicycle company Vielo to produce a limited edition of the second-generation V 1 gravel bike released earlier this year.

Although the V 1 also has standard finishes and optional Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo components, only 50 vehicles were produced with Campagnolo's Ekar kit and CHPT3's robust art finishes.

As mentioned earlier, getting a new bike is a challenge now, but there are still some Cannondale SuperSix Evos in the store (at the time of writing)

This is a light bike that competes at the highest level. It is sharp and precise, and its handling is impeccable-SuperSix has always been known for it. It's also comfortable, and although it's not a full-featured aero bike, Cannondale says the shape of the tube is designed to reduce drag.

SRAM's top-of-the-line Red eTap AXS wireless electronic kit complements the frame. This is an excellent road bike, suitable for passers-by who need speed.
