2009 Interbike Coverage – New 2010 Mountain Bike Products and Reviews

It is that time of year again. The Interbike show in Las Vegas is arguably the largest product based cycling show on the planet as manufacturers roll out the 2010 bike components, gear and accessories for us eager cyclists to lust over for the upcoming riding season. Interbike has served as the platform for huge mountain bike and road biking releases and also features a several day dirt demo where dealers and press get to ride the new bikes and release their PR and reviews to the eager consumer.

For this year, I was not able to attend the 2009 Interbike dirt demo and show. I…instead…decided to hit the Bahamas for my first wedding anniversary with my wife. But…luckily for us…I have some friends in the industry that are hard at work in Vegas for the 2009 Interbike dirt demo and show, so I can link them up here and get you guys pointed in the right direction for some great 2009 Interbike Coverage.

My Thoughts on the 2009 Interbike Show

So far…I am hearing a lot of rave reviews on the SRAM XX 2×10 component group. Word on the street is that it shifts perfectly. It looks like their is still a lot of buzz surrounding 29ers and their are more new models than ever has each mountain bike manufacturer is competing for your big wheeled obsession. It looks like it is a great show this year with a lot of new products that are going to damage our budgets for the next 12 months as we search for that new mountain bike or component that is going to make us that much faster on our local mountain bike trails. I’ll post up a full wrap up of what I think after the dust has settled…but it appears that everyone is releasing some great products for 2010.
