We continue our tech coverage from the Sea Otter Classic with yet more bikes from the grounds of the Laguna Seca raceway. Yeti showed the latest version of their stunning 303 WC Carbon downhill machine (while a show attendee simultaneously paraded one of the company's oldest bikes) and Nukeproof had their new Rook slopestyle chassis on hand. Look out for a full Superbike feature on the latter in an upcoming issue of Mountain Biking UK magazine.

Carbon fiber 29er hardtails are still on the rise, with new models from Fuji, Haro and Stevens, and Ellsworth added more carbon to their Moment, Evolve and Epiphany chassis. Meanwhile, road and cyclo-cross riders got a look at Volagi's latest disc-equipped road bikes, Calfee's new Power Bar hidden Di2 battery system, Origin8's bargain Lactic Acid crit racer and Breezer's iconic steel Venturi. Finally, for every trail-loving parent out there, Lil' Shredder introduced just the thing for toddlers who are already faster than we are. Check out our image gallery for a look at all these bikes and more.
