Instead of endlessly wandering the extensive halls of a trade show, it's always good to follow a plan and seek out specific brands. However, get yourself a little lost or take a detour and it's all too likely you may stumble onto something new or perhaps a little 'different'.

With that, our gallery above looks at exciting new products such as Rocky Mountain's new alloy Thunderbolt, Litespeed's T1SL, WickWerks' 53/34t chainring combo, ODI's new road bartape, Redshift's suspension stem and BMC's limited edition raw-carbon Team Machine SLR01. Among these and many more exciting new products, there's also the weird ones we stumbled upon.
