Litespeed's Obed titanium hardtail frame is designed for 100-120mm travel forks and features square-section rear stays and interchangeable dropouts so that you can run it as a singlespeed.
The Ocoee uses the same tubing, including the square stays seen here, but is built around an 80-100mm fork. Choose your weapon...
Fox has extended its helmet line with the all-mountain style Flux. It's an extended-coverage open-face lid in a similar vein to Giro's Xen. Looks good.
OGD's DH bike has a 4130 chromoly front end and 6061 aluminium rear, joined by a pair of short linkages running on roller and needle bearings. All-up weight is 41lb.
Brake Therapy
Brake Therapy is best known for its floating brake kits, but it's also working on this disc retrofit kit for road or cyclocross bikes.
The floating brake systems will also soon be available with a similar carbon strut. BT's other new product is this beefed-up derailleur mount.
NiteRider
NiteRider has joined the high-power LED fray with the MiNewt. The light unit uses a 5W Luxeon LED with run times of up to six hours. If you need more output, there's also a twin-lamp version.
This combined HID/LED lamp is found on the MOAB, Flight and Rage systems. The MOAB has a high-capacity battery offering up to 11 hours of run time with the HID.

Venture Designs
A couple of related innovations from Venture Designs: The Gelbot stores energy gel in a water bottle and delivers gel or water depending on the position of the spout.
The Fuel Switch lets you link two hydration reservoirs to one mouthpiece - one for water, one for energy drink. Just turn the mouthpiece to select the one you want.
Orbea appears to have reinvented the original Specialized FSR, only in carbon fibre. Looks pretty sleek, though.
Ibis is now doing complete bikes as well as frames. The XTR-equipped Mojo weighs in an 24.7lb - this is the XT model.
Rivette
Danish manufacturer Rivette has a range of road and mountain bikes. Top of the MTB tree is the H6, with a sleek aluminium frame that weighs in at 1,450g (3.2lb).
The H6's clean lines are largely the result of the full internal cable routing. Front and rear gear cables and the rear brake hose all run inside the frame.
