Cycle Mode Osaka 2013- MTB And Cross Bikes

For a show the size of Cycle Mode, there were relatively few MTB's on display. We tried our best to seek out the interesting bikes that were on show among all the high end roadies. 9Niner had a nice display of their stuff, including this hardtail...


The Kona display had all their bikes grouped together on a central stage, yet again making photographing them a bit difficult, we did manage to capture this impressive 26" Operator full bouncer though...


And Pinarello surprised with a couple of really nice carbon hardtails set aside from all their road bikes...


While over at the Shimano stand they were concentrating on their SLX and Deore groupo's as apparently there is no new kit from their XT or XTR range this year...



Tucked away on the Boma stand was this very interesting 29" rigid bright red carbon number...


Moving onto the Cross bikes, there were many dotted around the show, a reflection of the sports growing popularity, even the 9Niner stand had a nicetake on the genre...


 Hidden away on the Guerciotti stand was this little beauty...


Kona had a really nice Titanium number tucked away in their pack...


The Laperre guys had a choice of either alloy...


...Or Carbon...


 Over at Boma is was strictly Carbon on their seriously nice Crosses...



The next post will be of the track and fixed bikes from the show, stay tuned kids!
