Unusually hot and sunny weather is baking Sea Otter this year. Unlike years past, there isn't much new product floating around the paddock area this year, although there is loads of vendors selling everything from ti bolts to pirate jerseys.
Nevertheless, we were able to get a sneak peak of a few new items, including the intense 951, the new team issue yeti 303 and the very first production e13 LG1+ chain guides. We also got a quick peak of the downhill bikes Hill and Fairclough are riding here, getting them dialed in for the World Championships.
X-Fusion shocks launched their new through axle 6" travel fork, the Vengeance, last night at their booth.
Gravity racing starts tonight with dual slalom, qualifying has been going on all afternoon and finals is set to get started about 4pm. Look for a full report and photos from the event soon afterwards.
The new Yeti Team Issue 303. It has bushings at the rear pivots, a slightly different rail assembly
Look for Hill and Fairclough to be racing a slightly modified SX at the World Championships. Sea Otter is the perfect test ground for the new little bike. Their bikes only showed up Thursday from Africa, just in time. New Boxxers are still pretty rare, so the little bikes were forkless for a bit and Jacy was stressing.
Intense is using Otter to launch their new 951 downhill bike. Somewhere between an M6 and a Socom, it looks to be the perfect solution for courses like Otter and Canberra.
The new Xfusion vengeance looks solid. Adjustable high and low speed compression, rebound and air pressure, it looks to be a fantastic fork. It was developed over the last 2 years by their race team undercover in another manufacturers lowers. Look for a review soon.
