The Philly Bike Expo (PBE) showcased loads of incredible bikes and it simply wasn't possible to fit all of them into one video. One bike worthy of being featured on its own was the Otso Warakin Ti which was on display at the Otso / Wolf Tooth booth. This impressively versatile gravel bike caught my eye for a variety of reasons; a beautiful titanium frame, massive tire clearance, Campagnolo Ekar groupset and loads of custom touches brought about by the Wolf Tooth headset spacers and bolts. This remarkable bike is ready for some serious off-road adventures and I'm sure you'll enjoy taking a closer look.
Wolf Tooth Components and Otso Cycles
Otso cycles is a brand that originated from the engineers at Wolf Tooth Components, a company that we've always enjoyed supporting here at Mountain Road. The quality of craftmanship that comes from this USA manufacturer has never failed to impress. The Wolf Tooth chainrings, Wolf Tooth bling kit and Gnarwolf chainguide which we've reviewed in the past, have all stood up to countless hours of use and abuse on the bike, speaking volumes about the durability of the products created by Wolf Tooth.
The Otso Warakin Ti on display at the PBE was fitted with lots of anodized Wolf Tooth bits and pieces, giving it a very custom feel. Otso sales manager, Mike Pederson, walked us through this bike and explained how those interested in customizing their Otso bikes, can do so, right out of the box. You can hear the full discussion with Mike in the video that goes along with this post.
If you're interested to see more impressive custom bikes from the PBE, then be sure to check out this post containing stacks of handcrafted and custom bikes. Bikes are, however, made to be ridden and some of the bikes on display at this expo even joined us for the Sunday morning group ride showing that they don't just look nice on the showroom floor. So, if shots of moving bikes appeal more to you, then you'll enjoy the Gravel Ride of the Week video that we created while joining the PBE Squad on their Expo group ride.
