That’s it, folks. Another Sea Otter has come to a close. We have much more coverage from this year’s show, but in the meantime, take a look through this gallery at some of the things that caught our eye.

In our third gallery, we take a look at new rims from Industry Nine and Sapim, bright saddles from SGD, a helmet-mounted light system that might be the ultimate setup for night riding, and a look at modern and vintage titanium hardtails from Litespeed.

Looks like a great shuttle vehicle. braaaap!: looks like a great shuttle vehicle. braaaap!

The world's best shuttle vehicle?

Scroll through the gallery for a closer look.
