As we write, Interbike 2003 is over. The exhibitors are packing up their booths and we’re packing our bags. We’ve seen a whole heap of new stuff – this is the rest of yesterday’s selection, we’ll bring you what we saw on the final day and some other show-related bits and bobs during the rest of the week…
 Airborne move into the long-travel suspension arena with the new Marauder. |
 Astrix DH/freeride bike looks like a single pivot but it’s actually a parallelogram linkage. |
|
 Brooklyn Machine Works attracted attention with this exceptionally shiny TMX. |
 The Chase is Cannondale’s entry into the hardcore hardtail market. |
|
 Devinci’s tandems feature an independently coasting drivetrain, so either of the riders can stop pedalling or start off with a different foot forward. |
 Detail of the Devinci’s drivetrain magic. |
|
 Evil were showing this work-in-progress gearbox bike. Evil’s working with Nicolai and Rohloff on a gearbox standard. |
 This looks a lot like a Brooklyn, but in fact it’s a Gack. Great name… |
|
 This is possibly our favourite bike of the show – Intense’s 5.5 is a new VPP offering with a dash more travel than the Spider. |
 Looking for something like an Ellsworth Id but a bit beefier, a tad slacker and with a lower bottom bracket? Take a look at the new Moment. |
|
 Conversely, Cove’s Playmate is a steeper and higher version of the Peeler. |
 The Quadcarver is a sort of hybrid of microscooter and longboard. The rear steers by leaning, the front steers by, well, steering. Sweeping powerslides ahoy! |
|
 Seven’s new Duo Lux is an 80mm travel version of the Duo, using the Maverick Monolink suspension system. |
 Ride in snow or deep sand a lot? You need a Vicious Cycles Thunderwing… |
|
 Norco is pushing the freeride hardtail envelope with the new Torrent, complete with 7in of fork travel. |
 The long-awaited Santa Cruz VPFree packs eight inches of travel in an easy-pedalling VPP package. Pretty smart looking, too. |
