It can be hard to know what accessories and gadgets will improve your riding experience. 

That's why we've put together this guide to our favourite motorcycle accessories for 2026, to help you feel safer and more comfortable on your bike regardless of your riding style. 

If you’re a seasonal rider, you probably won’t need as much equipment as someone who’s riding year-round.  Instead, you’ll want to focus on buying breathable, well-ventilated riding gear to keep you cool in the summer months.
 
However, if you’re a year-round rider, you’ll need accessories that can keep you comfortable and safe year round. This means buying equipment that’s waterproof, riding gear that will keep you warm and accessories that will protect your bike regardless of the weather. 

If you use your bike for work (for instance, as a delivery rider), you’ll need to make sure you have the right equipment. For a delivery rider, that includes an insulated bag to keep food at the right temperature and a phone mount.

If you’re using your bike for your daily commute, you might find yourself wanting a sturdy motorcycling backpack, heated grips and a battery charger. 

With so many options on the market, it can be hard to know what the best product for you is. However, there are many places you can go for advice and recommendations. Reviews are always a great resource, as well as asking other riders for their opinions on certain products. 

If you’re buying a security product, it’s always best to check if it’s Sold Secure verified or Thatcham approved for additional peace of mind. 

While more expensive motorcycle accessories will often have additional features that could make them more comfortable or durable, any product by a reputable manufacturer should meet necessary safety requirements, regardless of price. The smartest thing you can do is look for the best protection available in your price range. 

Below, we've included some of our personal favourite accessories, with options available at multiple price points.
