Sea Otter 2023 Photo Dump – by Grannygear

I’m at Sea Otter again this year and have a camera in hand. Here are some of the things I found interesting enough to point at and push the shutter button. Enjoy! (Editor’s Note: We will add more to this thread as we get the images)

Salsa Cycles goes electric with the Confluence gravel bike
The Confluence will utilize a hub drive and Shimano GRX 11 speed drive train
The battery looks to be encased in the aluminum frame’s downtube.
Salsa also showed this 1X flat bar variant. We will try to get more details on the Confluence range soon.
Kenda showed off this Belgium Waffle Race inspired “4titude” tire
The 4titude will be offered in 35mm and 40mm sizes and features a minimalist tread pattern
The Wilier Rave SLR is their fetching gravel bike/road bike. “All-roads bike” then?
Featuring a “liquid crystal polymer” carbon frame and fork, the Rave SLR can take up to a 42mm tire.
Multiple triple boss and water bottle mounts were seen on many bikes like this Fezarri.
That same Fezarri bike also featured SRAM’s new “hangar-less” AXS XO “transmission”.
This wildly painted Santa Cruz Stigmata was seen at the show. It was showing off the new 3D Violet components reintroduced by Chris King
BlackHeart is not a name we’re familiar with, but that may change.
The overseas made frames come in aluminum and….
…in this stunning titanium design.
Boyd Cycling has just announced the opening of their own rim factory in South Carolina.
These rims were made in the USA for their budget priced “GVL” wheels. 25mm internal width, $425.00 bucks.
Hunt Wheels were showing this new 25 CGR Wheel set
“CGR” stands for Carbon Gravel Race, and refers to the rim depth. The actual inner width is 26mm. The wheel set sells for $1159.00 and weighs a claimed 1380 grams.
The straight-pull spoke “Sprint SL” hubs are also now available separately at $249.00 for the pair from Hunt.

Stay tuned for more from the 2023 Sea Otter Festival!
