Sea Otter Classic 2017 Fox had a Pivot Stage cyclocross bike decked out with a prototype suspension fork and dropper post.

Fox Transfer Dropper and AX Fork for Road Bikes

Fox debuted a Pivot Vault cyclocross bike equipped with a modified Transfer dropper seatpost and a 40-millimeter-stroke AX 32 Step-Cast fork. The one-by XTR drivetrain was converted to shift with a Shimano Dura-Ace lever via a Wolf Tooth roller cam, while the left-side brake lever was modified to operate the Transfer dropper. Product manager Mark Jordan says the project falls under Fox's "Open Project" development program where the R&D staff is free to reveal concepts as they progress towards possible production. Jordan says he has been crushing his Strava times on XC style training loops aboard the disc-brake-equipped Pivot speedster.

Foes Racing made a pair of 150mm-travel Mutz at bikes to showcase the latest slider from Manitou

Manitou's Monster: 150mm Mastodon Fat Bike Fork

Manitou launches today, what may be the largest single-crown suspension fork known to man. The 150-millimeter-stroke Mastodon was mounted to this equally massive Foes Mutz fat bike, which also features 150-millimeters of travel and, like the Mastodon, it can handle the largest tire and rim combinations presently sold. Manitou says that the Mastodon damper is derived from the Mattoc Pro's MC2 damper, with an air spring from the Dorado. The damper and the Mastodon's internal bits have been imbued with internal workings designed to shrug of sub-zero temperatures, and the travel can be adjusted from 60 to 150 millimeters. Mastodon forks are offered for 26 or 27.5 wheels and at two price points: The Pro at $849 and the Comp at $649 USD.

Sea Otter Classic 2017 Mike Redding says that Fox Racing was showing their new movie Ride Your F king Bike for free - on an inflatable screen in the campground tonight.
Fox Racing's Mike Redding said that their crew were based in the Sea Otter camp grounds, where Fox brought in an inflatable screen and treated campers to a free showing of their new movie, Ride Your F**king Bike" last night. Redding, who produced the film, said that Fox was there just to ride bikes and enjoy the show this year.

Whyte's S-150 CRS 29er was so fresh that the paint was still drying when they put it on display.

Whyte's Take on the Ultimate 29er AM/Trailbike

Whyte Bikes USA took possession of the new S-150 CRS only a few hours before the big show began. The 150-millimeter-travel 29er has a carbon front section, while the rear suspension is aluminum. The all-new chassis features sturdy clevis-type suspension pivots at the upper and lower stay positions, a collet-adjustable swingarm pivot, and a new upper rocker that has been beefed up considerably. Retained are Whyte's sealed cable and seatpost entry points, and its internal seatpost clamp. The geometry is just right for hard chargers, with a 66-degree head tube angle, 74-degree seat tube angle, and generous reach measurements across the size ranges. The Whyte's low-profile top tube means they can spec 150-millimeter dropper posts on the small and medium sizes and 170-millimeter droppers on the large and XL frames. The S-150 CFS will also be offered in a more-affordable aluminum version. Whyte USA will be sending PB a test rig for review when the first shipments arrive early this Summer. Can't wait.

Sea Otter Classic 2017 321 Project hubs.
Made in Fresno, California, 321 Project hubs use magnetized freewheel pawls. Magnetic force increases dramatically with proximity, which means the pawls run nearly friction free when they are disengaged, but clamp tightly against the ratchet wheel when locked against the magnets.

Sea Otter Classic 2017 321 s freehub ratchet has over 200 engagement points. Magnetic pawl action dramatically reduces freehub friction while coasting.
321 Project freehubs feature over 200 engagement points and can be purchased in either a loud or a quiet configuration.


Abbey Tools Partners With RockShox

Sea Otter Classic 2017 Abbey Tools and RockShox teamed up to produce dedicated shop tools for its most popular forks and shocks.
Abbey Tools partnered with RockShox to offer a range of specialty tools for its most popular forks and shocks. They will be sold through RockShox's on-line and retail channels.

 Should we tell CX riders to just ride a mountain bike?

 seriously. A XC HT with sub 2" tires seems superior to this in every way. Especially aesthetically.

 In all honesty though, that bike is not for CX Racing. Its for the long gravel rides/offroad touring that seams to getting popular.

 Suspension forks on road(ish) bikes look ugly. "Road" bikes are beatifull in their own way, in part due to their clean, elegant looks. A traditional suspension fork spoils that. An inverted one would possibly be more tolerable.

Anyway, it's pretty clear that a development has started with all the gravel bike experimentation that will result in... the modern XC race bike!
  • 3 3
 Should we tell MTB ERS to switch to a lighter road bike frame. I detest drop bars but the rest of the bike seems a better way to go. Xc riders are just dirt roadies anyway. Before you say that the wheels will break you should give it a try. Now that road bikes have disc brakes who needs a hard tail xc bike?
  • 3 0
 Seriously. As someone who spends a LOT of time pounding the pavement, I don't understand why the roadie/CX crowd are cobbling together what equate to really bad mountain bikes and calling it the next big thing. All the heft of a mountainbike, minus the capability... Oh yeah, it's a "gravel" or "adventure" bike... right.
  • 3 0
 @Chadimac22: i own a 20lbs Cutthroat (which I'm sure some think is the most stoopidist-ist bike in the worl'). It weighs 2lbs more than my roadie. Why oh why?

I like underbiking boring-ish (on my trail/enduro) but close singletrack to just you know, have fun when riding as much as possible

Leaving my door, not knowing where I am going, and improvise. Gives me a sense of spontaneity and freedom.

I have a road/Cuthroat/enduro. B/c something something.. diversity... something something... better life.

Oh yeah, ride from my front door. not my car door.

  • 3 0
 @bmxrace121: having ridden a spooky supertouch for a few years on trails, I can say that you're better off with an XC bike for actual trails. I also noted that the local CX crowd was removing rocks from rock gardens and cutting out roots to make it possible for them to traverse the trail at the same pace as the XC guys. Witnessed it myself, seen the ruts caused by the CX crowd thinking "mud bro". These bikes work great as do all bikes, but they certainly don't do as well on trails compared to XC rides. Beenderdundat.

 A seal driver should be free with a fork though. Paying extra is total bs.
  • 2 0
 @sevensixtwo: How is that? Forks aren't included with hex keys or star nut insert tools. Chains aren't included with chain breakers. Wheels aren't included with spoke tools. etc etc.
  • 2 1
 @bman33: Proprietary components as expensive as a suspension fork should come with a tool to operate the propriety feature; especially when they're as cheap to make as a plastic seal inserter. For example, Mavic CrossMax wheels come with the spoke tool since they aren't standard spokes.
  • 1 0
 @sevensixtwo: Still irrelevant. Mavic made a nice gesture. By your logic, every Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche, etc. should come with a complete tool. Some do, some don't. A majority of bike tools are proprietary with regards to bicycles compared to the average Home Deport or Hardware store type tools. My SixC cranks (expensive) didn't come with a RaceFace BB tool. My SRAM Cassette (expensive) didn't come with a cassette tool.
  • 16 1
 @bman33: My IKEA bed came with a little Allen wrench. Which is good because I have to tighten it back up every time your mom comes over.
  • 1 1
 @bman33: no but seriously my european car came with a proprietary lug wrench for the wheels. And your race face cinch should come with a bsa30. That's bs. As for the cassette tool, it's not proprietary. Shimano and SRAM are compatible.
  • 2 0
 @sevensixtwo: One, touche on the IKEA joke She is dead (seriously), but a good 'your mom' joke is always solid. Two, my SixC's using a Hope threaded BB for them now (also had to buy a proprietary wrench). I have a lug key for the locks on my Jeep, but it cost $35k new. Point is that if a manufacturer provides a tool, it's a bonus for a part such as a fork. Do they continue and provide a tool to extract and install new bushings in the lowers? It's a point of where does it stop?
  • 2 0
 @bman33: well, when the fork includes a shock pump AND first service kit, it doesn't seem outlandish to include a seal driver, especially when it is proprietary...
  • 1 1
 RS and Fox each have 3-4 different stanchion sizes. Requires multiple seal tools. If Cinch had 4 sizes, wouldn't you think it would come with a tool?
  • 3 0
 Ok, you guys are right. Every bike and/or component should come with s complete set of tools.
  • 4 0
 @bman33 @sevensixtwo one reason that forks should not come with a seal press is it encourages the home mechanic to do the job, i know installing fork seals and oil is not hard at all.. how ever i'm pretty sure fox and rockshox both highly recommend taking your fork to get it done by a professional in a shop (also a shop should be expected to have presses for all sizes) which is why they don't give the consumer any when purchasing the fork. I work in a shop and you would not imagine how many people a season purchase seals and say they can handle it at home, just to come back to the shop the next day with either a damaged seal or no actual clue how to do any of it. Going along with this anyone who has installed the new flange less fox seals a lot knows theyre extremely easy to damage and bend out of shape from being put in even at the slightest angle.

 @qman11: I agree 100%. Just gave up posting my point

 @qman11 So you're agreeing with me completely that it's a simple job, and that not including the tool only generates revenue for shops. Complete f*cking bullshit.

 Your car does come with a toolkit. You prob overlooked it when you called AAA for a flat tire.

 @sevensixtwo: my last 5 cars have a jack , and a lug key. That's it. Again, you are proving your childishness​ with every comment. Did you ask for drywall tools when you bought your house?

 I have a MTB frame with dropper bar, dropper post, 29" 2,2" tires. It´s a really great bike. It looks like a CX on steroids. Rides fast on tarmac, gravel, fire roads and single tracks. It´s a bit slow on the technical and descents but SO MUCH FUN. Highly recommend it Smile

 @Raffe: I have a similar set up and am wondering how to remove the shift pawls from my RS685 lever to turn it into a dropper remote. Any hints? I'm apprehensive because the only other time I opened a (clapped mtb) shimano shifter I totally effed it up, do not want to risk this much more expensive lever/

 @Raffe: I had a very similar set up for my 'road' bike for a few years. I really enjoyed it. I got a great deal on the Charge CX bike at the time so I jumped on it. I only ride my mountain bikes offroad. The CX bike is my 'road' bike for the days I can't make it to the trails.

 @arden0: Unfortunately I can´t help you with this one, I have SRAM Rival together Chainreactions Brand-X dropper. I just guided the wire through the shifter and connected it to the dropper, and viola.

 @robot870: the sad thing is, Waki is actually serious... it's a new thing now... roadies are turning their bikes into mountainbikes using geometry, tire size, and suspension travel specifications from 1998, but they're calling it the next big thing. Because, you know... it's a "gravel bike" or "adventure bike".
  • 2 1
 @Chadimac22: I think it's good what happens in "roadie" world these days (although dropper is probably a step too far)- what's sad is that it took roadies 20 years of evolution of a mountain bike to realize that their bikes can be improved to suit more activities than just pedalling. Road bike geometry is terrible for the body as it is a compromise between power delivery and aerodynamics, and the latter plays a rather big role. Now they also realized that skinny tyres are barely good for the road - 25c is a standard now and few years back you would still see guys on 21 or even 19c. Cuz faster. Now why would you ride on asphalt all the time with cars wizzing around you? Road riding is a fkng extreme sport, people get killed and injured for life all over the world. So why not start riding on gravel roads to skip the risk or at least get a variation during your ride, considering that you aren't really racing (even when you are racing) and you can easily live with a slightly fatter tyre? Add some damping, even for full on road bikes - why wouldn't you? Moto gp motorbikes have 100mm of suspension or more and ride on smoother surfaces than roadies. Road bike has remained pretty much unchanged since 50 years. It's about time to get the thumb out of their elitist ass. It wiuld be also cool if UCI stepped back and removed idiotic golfish, elitist regulations on road bike tech. I want to see 4kg road bikes racing, with aero shapes. Only this year we got some big step in TT/Triathlon bikes - amazing designs coming through.

I am looking at it from the other side around for myself. For this winter I will build myself a 27,5+/29er. 27,5+ for sloppy muddy winter/spring riding in the woods to ride otherwise unrideable trails and 29er for the interval/sprint training on gravel aaaand road. 2.5" slicks on 29" wheels mmmmmm

 Sound = energy. Some (very minimal) resistance is created by the pawls slapping against the hub shell. A loud version is probably producing more slap and sapping more energy from your rolling momentum.
