Sea Otter Report 8: Syncros

By Dan Barham

The Freaking [sic] Light Carbon Fiber [double sic] FL-CF25 wheels look very nice indeed and are under 1,500g for a set. The rims are undoubtably beautiful to behold but at a price - $2,075 to be exact.

FL-CF25 wheel in full - hang on tight or it'll float off.

Syncros has redesigned its iconic two-bolt seatpost with a new slightly-offset reversible clamp that can act as an inline or layback design. Look for it soon.

Flat pedals now come in the 2009-required anodised colours.

Beefy freeride seatpost with extra long clamp, making big hits less likely to bend saddle rails.
