Sea Otter Gravel has no shortage of great gravel bikes on display in the pro race.
Not only is it the first race of the Life Time Grand Prix, but it is also taking place at the same time and location as one of the biggest cycling trade shows in the world. That adds just a little bit more to the quality and attention paid to the bikes and tech of the race
We made our rounds at the start of the pro race and put together a massive tech gallery from around the pro peloton, but beforehand, we caught up with five of the fastest racers and their bikes to see what trends we will see in gravel for 2026.
