There’s nothing quite like the energy of Interbike–it could be all the neon buzz of Las Vegas with its abundance of gnarly (we’re stopping at gnarly). Sin City aside, we really enjoyed two days of outdoor demo and three days at the main show, and we wanted to give you a quick preview of some of the companies and products we saw at Interbike 2015.

We’ll be getting much more in depth on all of these products in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for detailed product reviews and updates about gear, kits, bikes and new innovations in the world of cycling.

GT Grade demo out at Bootleg Canyon. Where the weather was really just sort of “meh.”

Brooks was showing off their new carbon offering: the Cambium C13. In fact, they’re looking for testers right now, and you could be one of them. Visit Brooks’ website if you’re drooling as much as we were.

The Kinetic booth was showing off some cool things, and we’re stoked on their trainers and offset bottle cages–lefties should be stoked too.

Scott also plans to foil road rash with their new kits that utilize abrasion resistant panels.

We also met up with Earl, the GUTR guy. No more sweat in your eyes.

Fabric had saddles all day in all kinds of innovative materials. One-piece carbon all the way to the one below (that honeycomb looking thing is the inner padding). That and silicone tape where even the white stays shiny.

Vittoria was showing off their Graphene.

We tried out Rotor’s UNO, and we video-bombed Dave Zabriskie. We call that success.

VP gave out some socks, and their pedals look every bit as cool.

KitBrix fit together to carry all the stuff.

Brand new colors on Kask’s Protone for this season, and hopefully more availability in the US on its way. Oh, yah, and NBD, but THE Liz Hatch walked us through the product line. We might have embarrassed her by making her autograph something.
