The Outdoor Demo was noticeably smaller in 2015 than previous years, but we managed to scrape together another report of what escaped our effort on day one .

Turner had their King Khan on display.

Scott’s Big Ed went color blind for 2016

Big Ed is loaded with Syncros components and Schwalbe tires.

Wednesday’s were pretty popular at the dance. We saw lots of folks out on the trails on Wednesdays….even though it was Tuesday.

It rained pretty steadily for a couple of hours, so we took shelter under the Surly Tent with our Amigos Lars and the Captain.

KHS continues to refine their fat-bike line with the 500 model starting at $1099. This 3000 model comes nicely specced and ups the game with 12×190 rear hub, tapered head tube, Hayes hydraulic brakes, X9 Type 2 rear derailleur 100mm rims, Snowshoe XLs and more at $2199.

Pivot had their Les Fat at the show and is sporting Maxxis tires like several other fat-bike brands for the 2016 model year. The $4699 carbon Les Fat has a neat drop out system they call the Swinger II that allows a rider to run all fat and plus sizes (26 X 3.8, 26 X 4.8, 27.5+ and 29+) without geometry compromises.
