Before Interbike opens its doors in Las Vegas, Nevada, the tradeshow hosts two days of Outdoor Demo in the nearby smouldering desert town of Boulder City. BikeRadar walked the dusty Demo in search of new or remarkable r🍸oad gear. Here 𝄹is what we found.
Kappius Road Wheels
Company founder Russ Kappius started out with an innovative mountain-bike hub thatꦜ took advantage of the cavernous backside of a SRAM XX cassette with an enormous pawl ring. The company now has complete wheelsets, including road clincher and tubular options. Built with 35mm-tall and 25mm-wide rims, the Kappius road wheels build up to 1,515g clincher or 1,295g tubular sets.
Kappius designed the clincher to work with tubeless tyres, and cyclocros🥂s tubeless tyres in particular. "We fit them with a tight interior profile for low 🎐’cross pressure," Kappius said. "There is a retention shelf with a high spot to hold the bead on."

Jumping on the action-sport video camera bandwagon that GoPro effectively created, Sony has a new Action Cam called the HDR-AS100V that shoots 1080 HD 60p footage with image stabilization and stereo sound recording. A US$399 kit includes the camera plus a wrist-mounted remote that has a screen whe༺re you can see what the Action Cam is recording, as well as navigate through the control functions. The Action Cam is also sold by itself with three mounts for US$299. A Mini Action Cam is in the works, which promises m♑ost of the functionality of the original in a more compact size.

Prologo Saddles
The Italian saddle c🦩ompany has a few new perches in the works, including the hyperlight Zero C3, a sample of which weighs 135g. The Scratch 2 and Nago Evo continue for next year, but wit🔯h a tweaked nose shape reminiscent of a Concord jet. The Zero Tri saddle is a shorter, wider-nosed model with a channel and CPC grippers on the nose.
As is the trend with saddle companies these days, Prologo has a mult🐻i-step process to help riders find their ideal sꦦaddle. In Prologo's case, it's a four-step process done at a bike shop looking at intended use, sit-bone width, flexibility and body mass index.
The forthcoming Zero C3 weighs 135g in this prototype form
Speedplay Pavé
Many riders like Speedplay Zero pedals for the ice-like float, but the lollipop design with the super-snug cleat interface is not mud friendly. At al🔥l. In recent years a few sponsored pro teams took to using modified versions with part of the pedal removed so mud and muck wouldn't jam the pedal. Now, Speedplay has a consumer version for sale called the Pavé. Speedplay had to add some weight to ke꧅ep the strength while removing surface area, so the stainless steel Pavé pair is 230g to the Zero's 206g.
