There are quite a few steep hills around the Monterey, CA area.
Jose Alcala of the SRAM neutral support working on a Junior's bike shortly before that event started.
The new Specialized Venge got a lot of interest at Sea Otter.
The Felt DA is not that new anymore, but many folks have not yet seen it.
These new Riivo Triathlon shoes don't even have a name yet, but the man behind them comes from speedskating products.
The SRAM Apex group will be available in white this summer.
The SRAM BL 990 brake lever allow via the 2mm bolt inside to open up brake calipers for wheel swaps, especially nice on bikes with brakes behind the bottom bracket.
The top Pros lined up for the short track race seconds before that 20 minute and 3 laps super fast event. Eventual runner-up Sid Taberlay nearest to us, and eventual winner Max Plaxton next to him.
Belgian XTERRA Pro Jim Thijs (#31) with burning lungs and dust in his face.
The Grammo Factor TT wheel is another interesting wheel here at Sea Otter.
The Enduro XD-15 BB30 bearings feature angular contact.
Very interesting Blip Seats are also available with road tires and open up in the middle.
We finally had a chance to actually touch the Giro Aeon helmet and it is very light, airy and has lots of great adjustments.
TRP showed off the disc brakes for cyclocross bikes.

The Zooke anti fog product seemed to do indeed what it promotes.
The Northwave Tribute has a few interesting features.
The velcro on the top of the strap allows you to secure it in transition to the matching part on the other side of the shoe and you can attach a rubber band to the medial black loop. There is also a female model available this year.
Everybody loves the Angry Birds and this bike paint job was very cool.
Club Ride has a bunch of very interestingly designed cycling shirts that look anything but like one. You can be as cool as a cowboy or cowgirl on your next ride.
