Giro had these killer Empire concept shoes on display. According to my internal poll at Art's the Blue Man Group blue version is the favorite. I would be stoked with any of those colors.
Here is the final installment of Interbike photos submitted for your approval. Take a look at products from Giro, Schwalbe, WTB, SRAM, Lezyne, Rotor, Formula Brakes, 3T & Phil Wood. We also have a huge selection of videos from Interbike available here.
-
- Back home my son Joel was stoked on the swag haul and is proudly decked out head to toe!
-
- Here is a shaky cell phone picture of the Sinclair Imports party at the Wynn’s XS club on Thursday night.
-
- Formula was displaying this amazing speed lock feature that works like a pneumatic air line quick connect. The line can be disconnected and reconnected without spilling a drop or affecting performance. Perfect for internally routed brakes.
-
- Formula had their R1 brake on display with speed lock for easy internal cable routing.
-
- 3T’s 80mm deep Mercurio 80 wheels
-
- 3T’s Mercurio 60 wheels look very sharp.
-
- WTB’s new Nineline tire was on display at Interbike. It looks to be a great hardpack/racing alternative to the Nano tread. 537g at 29×2.0
-
- There is so much detail on these sculptures that it is hard to fathom.
-
- SRAM had this amazing sculpture of a bird of prey on hand made almost entirely of SRAM components.
-
- The standard Reverb cutaway was also on hand as there are some big differences between the standard and stealth internals.
-
- Rockshox had this Reverb Steath dropper post cutaway on display to show just how much engineering goes into products like this.

-
- Phil Wood had this crazy Santa Cruz V10 downhill fat bike on display with a Sycip built custom rear end and custom fork crowns and front hub to accommodate the nearly 5″ wide tires!
-
- Rotor had their 3D+ machined cranks on hand with their signature Q-Rings installed. All the beautiful CNC work on these cranks produces a component that looks like modern industrial art.
-
- Rotor’s Flow aero crank is a new addition to the product line up.
-
- Here is Rotor research specialist Christie O’Hara with one of Rotor’s affable owners Ignacio Estelles, who was on hand to personally answer any questions regarding his company’s innovative products.
-
- The left crank arm is also equipped with its own strain gauges to provide data on left and right leg power discrepancies.
-
- The big news at the Rotor booth was their new power meter crank. This is the most advanced power meter crank on the market at the moment by a long shot. It can collect data on pedaling smoothness and efficiency on both arms independently. With 8 strain gauges sampling at 500 Hertz, it is super accurate.
-
- These girls worked hard. Check out the dedication this one is showing right here!
