We were not able to make it out to the Sea Otter Classic this year, so the information you see below is complied off of all of the sites and companies that were able to make it out to the event. It looks like there are some exciting things in the pipeline for '08.
29ER NEWS
Pivot Cycles is releasing the 429 29er full suspension bike for '08. With 100mm of travel and the now famous DW-Link, this bike should be a hit among 29er enthusiasts. They should be available sometime in June in silver and red ano.
650B NEWS
The first one is the Nevegal 2.35 650b tire from Kenda. This is one of the most popular tires in existence and it’s arrival to the 650b wheel size gives the new wheel movement a bit of momentum. The tire looks huge for a 2.35.
It seems that WTB might be trying their hand in 650b. The tread of source is the new Wolverine in a 2.2. This tire seems to be an awesome set up of XC but enough dig in soft ground.
650B.com reported that Fox is working on a 650b fork from a very reliable source. It appears that they are not going to be late to the party like they were with the 29er craze.
Overall, it appears that manufacturers are taking the 650B craze much more seriously than the 29ers. It will be interesting to see the other developments.
