Part six of our Sea Otter Classic video coverage picks up with a diverse mix of bikes, evolving standards, and practical accessories. That includes a highly modified Surly Moonlander, and a major highlight, the launch of the updated OPEN WIDE 2.0, marking a decade since the original and bringing modern standards like UDH, T47, integrated storage, a highly adjustable cockpit system, and clearance for massive trail tires.
Meanwhile, more 32-inch stuff: Fox and Race Face discuss prototype forks, cockpit adjustments, and early-stage component development aimed at maintaining familiar ride positions on the larger platform. And, of course, tire brands including Maxxis and Panaracer show off their expanded offerings and updated compounds focused on durability for long-distance rides. This segment rounds out with a range of Topeak gear, including modular racks, waterproof frame bags, and handlebar systems.
