Each year, we try to cover as many new cyclocross and gravel products as we can at the Sea Otter Classic. This year our team was on the move, and as our extensive 2018 Sea Otter archive shows, we were able to get to a good number of companies' booths. Our coverage from Monterey will be wrapping up soon, but today, we take a look at some more of the cyclocross and gravel bikes that caught our eyes during the annual trade show.
Use the slider to check out each of the bikes.
