1UP

1UP USA makes timelessly durable, simple, American-made bike racks that go from box to hitch in seconds, offering reliability and convenience on par with no other brand. This year for Sea Otter, 1UP is launching its newest rack—the XD—a first-of-its-kind heavy-duty bike rack fit to accommodate fat-tire e-bikes with a carrying capacity of up to an astounding 150 pounds per bike tray!

1UP XD Racks

The XD rack can carry bikes up to 150 lbs per tray, even something like a Surron electric motorcycle. It comes with a ramp and an optional wheel stabilizer to keep everything secure (see below.)

1UP Recon Vertical Rack

It only fits a 2″ receiver and comes in Recon 5 and Recon 6 versions. The Standard Wheel Baskets hold 24″ -29″ wheels, up to 3″ wide tires, while the Fat Bike Wheel Baskets hold 24″ -29″ wheels, up to 5.1″ wide tires, and Kids Bike Wheel Baskets hold 20″ -24″ wheels, up to 3″ wide tires.

Aleck

Aleck Punks

Aleck is best known for their helmet audio and comms systems for skiers and snowboarders. Still, they’ll be at Sea Otter to launch Punks, the bike industry’s first truly wireless, near-ear audio and communications system for cyclists. With Hi-Fi audio and crystal clear, unlimited range comms, Punks is a small device that easily and securely locks onto helmet straps.

Currently on a Kickstarter campaign.

It’s time for a totally amplified ride, with music pumping you up, hearing your friends’ joy, dropping ‘whoops’ and ‘yips,’ all while maintaining perfect situational awareness. That’s what you get with the Punks. They’re slim, true wireless speakers that offer Hi-Fi near-ear audio and double as a clear voice, unlimited range group comms system for your group. Feel like miles of competitive trash-talking? Better use Party Mode. Want to chat less? Enable Push-to-Talk. Either way, you have all the glove-friendly controls at your fingertips to keep that Strava machine safely tucked away.

Thoughts => I tried the Punks out, and it was pretty cool. It was very directional, so only you could hear the sound from the speakers, as it doesn’t radiate outwards.

Aleck Tocsen Crash Sensor

Aleck is also launching their Tocsen Crash Sensor. This helmet impact device measures forces up to 200g to accurately detect a crash and initiate an alert to emergency contacts and recently announced a collab with SMITH to integrate the crash sensor technology into premium bike helmets for 2024.
