10 New Plus Bikes at Sea Otter 2016

Here's a one-sentence excerpt in Singletracks style:

Sea Otter 2016 showcased an avalanche of new 27.5+ bikes from major brands, signaling plus-size tires are ready to dominate trails in 2017.

Litespeed Pinhoti

Ok, the Pinhoti isn’t officially a plus bike and it isn’t even new, but I spotted this one with plus wheels and tires at the Litespeed booth. Litespeed says the Pinhoti can run 26, 27.5, or 29er wheels–and apparently it can handle 27.5+ wheels as well! This adaptability comes thanks to an optional eccentric bottom bracket. Of course the fork you choose will determine which wheels will work but hey, it’s nice to have options! “Plus one” for naming the bike after a killer trail in Georgia.
