Oakley Interbike 2008
Oakley always has a stellar booth at Interbike. They pack in a lot of gear for everyone to check out and it is always impressive. They had several new colorways of their Crowbar MX and O Frame MX on display as well as prototype Racing Jacket eyewear.

Their riding clothing is a bit conservative but we think that a lot of people enjoy the look and can find loud colorways from other vendors. Oakley likes to stay clean and classy with most of their designs and integrate some thoughtful features.
