Thanks to CAMS for sponsoring today’s video. If you’ve had an accident make a claim today at c-ams.co.uk/david-arthur/
A roundup of some of the newest and most interesting new road bikes from the first day of Sea Otter Classic 2024, held in a very sunny Monterey, California. There’s a definite trend for road bikes with 40mm tyre clearance but a move away from the endurance category tag to all-road by some brands but regardless of the label these look like really interesting bikes. There’s also some beautifully classic from Ritchey and Moots so it’s not a complete carbon fibre whitewash!

Thank you, David, for being one of the cool kids with a camera at Sea Otter. I always appreciate seeing and hearing about what's what. And thanks, too, for giving the fabricators time to talk about their creations.

The Bridge Bike Works Surveyor looked great. A 40mm clearance all-road bike does sound like a super versatile option.

The Ritchey Montebello is a cool offering. It’s great to see the Rando world even mentioned, let alone get a bike targeted for them.

The Ritchey Montebello was the first bike to seriously get my attention. In fact, I slightly rewound the video to make sure I could give this segment my entire attention.

5:18 "The bikes that the top guys are racing are probably not racy enough." I'm glad someone in the industry finally said it. Bring back long/low race geometries like Trek's H1 fit...modify it slightly for today's slammed-forward saddle positions (even longer reach, longer front-center.)

You posted this video so quickly. Thank you. Seems the 140-mile ride wasn't enough to slow you down. Integrated bar/stem seems to take over the show. Looks great in events, but a hassle in your garage. Whether you like their design direction or not, Ritchey doesn't waver. I'm not interested in their offerings, but I do respect them for being true to themselves.

Those first three new all-road bikes, the Parlee, FiftyOne and Bridge, are magnificent. …far more interesting than any of the ’new' gravel bikes in the next video. It seems the all-road category is finally maturing and acknowledging the undeniable influence of ‘gravel’ on road bike development. Cheers

@123oner2 23 күн бұрын

Not heard of Parlee but spokesperson seemed really passionate about the product and features seem to make a lot of sense, I was thinking pretty cool, until it went on to the next bike which looked exactly the same. The design looks quite similar to the Forge from Pearson, with the top tube that tilts up to the steerer tube. Blackheart power coated style aluminium looks sweet.

@Chrisocuk 25 күн бұрын

Imagine it's the year 2024 and bike manufacturers still aren't producing plus versions of their race frames that have a slightly shorter reach and slightly higher stack whilst being slightly heavier and perhaps slightly more affordable. A large portion of riders who can afford the ever increasing cost of bikes simply can't accommodate race geo on a regular basis or for prolonged periods without spacers or shorter stems. At the same time, they don't want a headtube the size of a door and an ungainly looking frame on a bike at the prices we're at. The result of not having this is people getting the bike they want but can't ride properly, people getting the bike they want but only being able to ride properly with spacers and short stem so they don't like it, and then people getting the bike they don't really want or desire but they can ride it properly and pain free and yet still wish it looked better.

Just wish the BB on the Revolt was about 7mm higher. To split the difference of the TCX, Revolt. To me that would be the perfect 1 bike. Able to run 30's to 2.1 MTB tires.

I like the Blackheart bikes but I worry that the 427mm chainstays on the gravel AL won't give enough clearance between the seat tube and the wheel on muddy terrain. I like an aggressive geometry but this is cutting it close maybe? Also, I about vomited when Cody said "designed for the person who has their finger on the pulse of style". Just sounds like he's saying, "we're a bike brand for posers!"

I've owned a Mason Definition for 7 years and love it so I'm kinda leaning on buying another bike from Dom, but I have a wondering eye. I don't worry too much about bike color but it is fun that you can pick your own on the Blackheart. Crushed Orchid please!
