Freedom Coast Lever for TRP EVO Pro Freedom Coast had a new lever to upgrade for TRP’s latest EVO Pro model. Key changes vs. stock include - different lever hook and profile, easier to grip reach adjust knob, and textured braking surface. MSRP is $119 USD, and there are 5 color options.

Dunlop Dunlop has soft-launched into MTB with four new models. Expected availability is set for early summer in the U.S. only, with MSRP still to be determined but anticipated to be in the $95-110 range. There are DH and enduro casings. The DH casing uses 2x60 TPI layers with an apex layer at the bead, while the enduro casing uses one 60 TPI layer with a smaller apex layer. The downhill casing also uses a softer rubber than the enduro casing. The tread designs are front/rear specific and share similarities with other popular designs. The rear tires are the most...

Blues Bikes Tripping Balls at Gates Steel, belt drive, gear box. Checking the boxes at the Gates booth with the Blues Bike Tripping Balls that gets 145-160mm of travel via "Chris Canfield Suspension Formula" according to the placard.

TRP released new budget brakes. With all the big fancy things being released its nice to see some budget stuff. Especially for this TRP lover.

The S-Works is a full Sram build. The drivetrain was developed with Sram so it makes sense, plus the S-brands have had a long history of being tight. The Team Replica is, well, a team replica: Ohlins, Brembo, DT Swiss, etc... There's a dark grey paint job that has the same marble(?) like texture that looks pretty slick with a red Boxxer and coil.

"Enduro" is dead, time to dust off "All Mountain".

Hahah! My local Spesh dealer said they aren’t doing a new enduro as there is no market for it anymore. Yet Henry from Quarter HP said in the stumpy video that it’s a well known secret its being in development for some time. Can’t help but feel Charlie Murray wants something longer travel for the chunky EWS tracks

S Works with RockShox?! I wonder how Ohlin's feels about this, lol. Welp, I guess this means there's a $12,000 build of the Demo for us peasants 😂

Anyone who has owned automotive Brembos or even ye olde Grimeca System brakes will know how often they need a repaint due to fading from red to pink and chipping of the paint.. Hard anodizing on the other brands is a major plus (For me anyway) It would have been great if they offered the Brembo motorcycle Stylema anodised finishes.

Bosch Motors Bosch had ebikes showcasing their 4 different motor configurations. A Norco with the new, affordable PX, a new Kona with an SX motor, the new Ibis with the CX motor and a Pivot with the CX-R.

The Shredline Eden. Full details coming next week. I'll try to answer questions each evening as I'm at the show and have zero service there. If you are at the show stop by EXT, Spank or Gates to see one or find us walking around. This variant is set up at 164mm rear (170 front) using a 230x60 stroke. The Eden can be set up in six different travel modes, two wheel sizes and high/low settings.

Bike park mode for the Eden over at the Spank booth. This one is set with 188mm back (190mm front) using a 250x70 stroke shock set up in Mx wheel configuration.

Stablead Stablead showing off their suspension. The frames are for display only and aren't planning on being released. Tom Rogers is the man behind the squish with consultation from guys like Brian Lopes. Besides the product, the most surprising thing in their booth was none other than the infamous Sanjay Sanbhag who hadn't been to Sea Otter since he was "hitting the dirt jumps on a road bike."

Fairdale Elevator Taj's Fairdale Elevator. A breath of fresh air among the never-ending display of electronic tech.

Our new favorite ebike, hands down.

CushCore Tire Installation Tool CushCore's miracle-working tire-install tool. It's only Thursday and they've performed the demo a billion times. Thankfully though, plenty of on-lookers come through and said, "we've seen the video." Watching it in person, there is some muscle required and their tire lever helps makes quick work of the initial bead pop before the tool can go in.

SDG SDG had a preview of a soon-to-be-released I-Beam version of their Tellis dropper and sneakily hiding a carbon Slater kids bar, that lands in the near future, too.
