Loads of stuff to look at from the second day at Interbike – here’s the first batch, more to come shortly…
 Bell’s Metro commuter helmet has an optional ear-warming winter kit, raincover and rear LED mount. |

|
 Mavic’s “economy” Crossland wheelset returns in a new UST compatible version. |
 Further up the range is the new Crossmax Enduro, a burlier Crossmax for “cross mountain” riding, it says here. |
|
 Dahon had a surprisingly sleek folding bike, complete with minimally-spoked wheels. |
 New Foes Inferno comes complete with hotrod flames formed into the monococque. Nifty. |
|
 Independent Fabrications is working on this prototype full suspension bike, something of a departure from steel singlespeeds. They had a very nice one of those too, though… |
 Titus is building frames with its new Exogrid system – a web is cut into titanium tubes and a carbon fibre core vacuum-bagged into the inside. It’s apparently lighter and stronger than just titanium tubes but most importantly it looks amazing. |
|
 Oregon-based framebuilder Jeff Jones is a man with a different take on what a mountain bike should look like. His custom Ti frames have ultra-short back ends, curved and ovalised tubes for vertical compliance but lateral stiffness and a unique handlebar optimised for technical, woodsy singlespeeding. |
 MRP’s latest offering combines a lower roller with a plate-mount front derailleur to mix chain device security with double chainring versatility. |
|
 Marin prove that steel hardtails can be had from mainstream manufacturers – this is the new Pine Mountain in Columbus tubing. |
 Santana carbon fibre and titanium tandem uses a Titus rear end and the biggest brake rotors we’ve ever seen. |
|
 Wellgo’s latest clipless pedal looks a bit like a mixture of SPD and Eggbeater, complete with nitrided titanium axle. |
 We had a spin on the top of the range GT XC 1.0 I-Drive bike at Dirt Demo – this is the mid-range 2.0. |
|
 Need to carry stuff? Xtracycle’s bolt-on wheelbase extending luggage attachment might just fit the bill. Optional boxes, bags and platforms let you carry pretty much anything and it’s robust enough for off-road use. |
 Kryptonite’s latest accessory/occasional bike lock looks like it ought to double as a yo-yo. The cable reels back into the body and it’s small enough to slip into a jersey pocket. |
