We’re back in the UK after a splendid Interbike show. There wasn’t a great deal in the way of earth-shattering revolutionariness, but plenty of neat tweaks, refinements and improvements. Here’s another bumper collection of new stuff.
 Latest ATAC from Time features 21st century looks and adjustable float. |
 Banshee’s Chapparal is similar to the Scream, except steeper and 4.5lb lighter. Different shock options give between 4 and 6in of travel. |
 Easton were showing this apparently Lopes-proof adjustable stem. |
 Cruiser builders Electra had these flame-tread tyres. Scorchin’! |
 5th Element Air looks great in this nickel-plated finish… |
 >…while new 2 and 3-way adjustable coil shocks make for simpler setup. |
 Tensioned mesh Flow saddle is designed for road use but has potential as a dry-weather XC perch. |
 Fillet-brazed hardcore hardtail with 12mm through-axle dropouts from the splendidly-named Hairy Gary Bicycles. |
 Need to carry your bike a long way? You need one of these hybrid rucksack/bike rack contraptions… |
 Identiti showed a new freeride hardtail, based on the Dr Jekyll jump frame but taller. ISCG mounts, plenty of gussets and some nice colours. We like. |
 Park Tool now have a Park Stool in the range. 360degree rotation and gas lift height adjust make it a workshop essential. |
 PDC Racing’s DH-One claims to have the lowest standover height of any DH bike. It also features a floating rear brake and upper chain idler pulley to avoid chain tension effects. |
 Phil Wood’s latest singlespeed is the confrontationally-named PISS Off. It’s titanium, fully custom and there’ll only be 32 of them… |
 Workstand makers Ultimate joined the single-sided fray with this monolegged wheel truing jig. |
